NASCAR Legends returns players to the racing season of 1970 by including many of the legendary cars, drivers, and racetracks from that 48-race season. Aspiring drivers race against such NASCAR icons as Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, and Bobby Allison. Sixteen accurately rendered tracks are offered; plan to race on the Darlington Raceway, Texas World Speedway, and Alabama International Motor Speedway, among others.
NASCAR Legends was made with hard-core motor purists in mind. Inside each prerace garage, drivers can tweak such car characteristics as tire pressure, suspension, gear ratios, and screw jacks. Gamers looking for an arcade racing game like Need for Speed need not apply; NASCAR Legends's rigorous dedication to statistics offers a complex, yet rewarding gaming experience. For optimum performance, use a Direct3D-based accelerator card to achieve crisp graphics and smooth frame rates, and a steering controller to master the tough turns. — Doug Radcliffe

- Still a great game
- I just bought this game last week off of amazon.com. I've always played PS2 and PS console NASCAR games and I wanted to get something that would run on my crappy computer. Of course, NASCAR Legends works perfectly fine since it's from 1999. While the graphics are crappy today, the sound is great and the racing is alot of fun. Any… More reviews
- Great Game
- This game has a lot of wonderfully recreated tracks. Michigan 30 years ago looked a whole lot different and it is displayed in this game. Also the cars handle different and pit stradgey comes into play a lot more. I have won many a races based just off of pit stradgey than fast cars. I think everyone that likes NASCAR should get… More reviews
- Follow-up to my earlier review
- I've gotten some more seat time with this sim and it continues to impress me. I'm using CH Products Combatstick with CH rudder pedals and there's a switch on the pedals to alternate between using the pedals as rudder controls for flight sims and using them as brake/throttle for driving sims. Now that I'm using them properly, I'm really… More reviews
- A good, fun middle-of-the-road racing sim
- I was 7 years old when Richard Petty raced at Daytona, but I remember looking through all of my parent's old vacation pictures of their time at the tracks. All of the cars I remember from those races are in this sim: the Dodge Daytona, Ford Torino, Plymouth Superbird, and even the rare Mercury Cyclone are there, complete with 70's vintage… More reviews
- Legendary Gaming, That is what this game is!
- I recently bought this item for 10 bucks of a person I know. I thought he was crazy giving me a 50 dollar game for 10 bucks, but I just thought he was desperate. I was dead wrong. I was so excited to install and play it. That is where I found the first of many problems with the game. I correctly installed NASCAR LEGENDS, but it would not run. I installed it 3 or 4 times… More reviews
