NASCAR Thunder™ 2004 puts you behind the wheel in a world where grudges and alliances mean the difference between victory and disaster. You're racing a pack of 42 real stars who think for themselves, remember your every move, and aren't afraid to pay you back. Revenge may be around the next corner as you scream through 23 authentic tracks and 11 fantasy tracks. The key to success is building alliances in an improved Career mode that challenges drivers to manage sponsors, teams, garages, and crews. Racing just became a contact sport.
