Anyone know how to hack the DAT files in NASCAR racing? Also is there anyway to change the body styles in the game?

If you're talking about the Track DAT files, I know how. But, it's a very long and complicated process. First, you'll need to learn to rename the tracks (http://www.git.net/necron99/te101.html) and create utils that can breakdown the DAT file.

Some of the better artists have created paint schemes that do a pretty fair job of modeling other kinds of cars. Using colors to imitate "shading" can give the illusion of a different body style. However, if you're trying to alter it to look like the Nascar Truck series, that's another story altogether. :-) Mike
