4 unusual facts about NASCAR Racing


NASCAR Racing

Papyrus did produce a Daytona track only for use exclusively at a fan simulation game at the Daytona USA museum.

Former racer-turned-broadcaster, Ned Jarrett loaned his voice to the game's title sequence, saying, "I'm Ned Jarrett. From Papyrus, this is NASCAR Racing." These were the only spoken words heard in the game as there was no in-race commentary or communication from the crew chief.

Music for the game was provided by members of Skid Row, including bass player Rachel Bolan who also appeared in the game as a driver of a green-and-purple #00 car with the letters "RB" on the hood.
