NASCAR Racing 2

NASCAR Racing 2 is a 1996 racing video game by Papyrus Design Group based on the NASCAR Winston Cup Series of the same year, with a later addon for the 1997 Busch Grand National Series. It featured many drivers, Gen-4 chassis and tracks from both series.

Papyrus developed this title and released multiple NASCAR-based video games with incremental changes up until their transition to the “GPL engine” used in NASCAR Racing 4.

Daytona, Indianapolis from the Cup schedule and Daytona, Vegas, Homestead from the Busch schedule were not officially available for this product.
