Drviers:
There are three cars available in NASCAR 2. You won't
know it by reading any manual as they sort of left it
out. But since NASCAR2 is more of a graphic upgrade than
a real new version I think you are expected to put the
documentation for NASCAR 1 and NASCAR 2 together.
Contrary to popular belief the Fords, Chevy and Pontiac
are all about equal in performance regardless of the
the track type. BUT BUT BUT there are not equal if you
dont have the right setup and driving style. Its really
a matter of what car suites your style.
Now I will most likely get my ass sued off (BUTS ITS ONLY MONEY)
by helping you, all out but here is the information from
the NASCAR 1 manual that describes the CHASIS selection
This information was somehow left out of the NASCAR 2
BRIEF!!!!!
========================================================
Driver Info
From the Main Menu, choose Driver Info. Here you can enter
your Name, Nickname, Team Name and Hometown. These settings
all have to do with the way your name and team will be
listed on Standings, Records and Race Result screens.
Select Chassis to decide which make your car will be. The
choices are Ford, Chevy or Pontiac. The Ford body tends to
have more down-force at the front, making it a good short
track car. The Chevy body has more down-force at the rear,
giving you a slight advantage on the superspeedways. The
Pontiac is equally balanced between front and rear. You
should know that however different the bodies are, the
actual gains are minimal, based more on the driver's
preference.
==============================================================
I have run over 189 at Atlanta with all three mfg choices, but
radically different setups. You see the word downforce. That
sort of goes hand and hand with AERODYNAMICS!!!! Think about
it....
As you see its really a matter of driving style as very few
superspeedways have straightaways. Even Michigan and Atlanta
are two short straights connected by LONG LONG LONG turns..

Not too long ago, a cab driver ran over 12 in New York City. I believe
YOU may have a new 'record' here...
(sorry, just couldn't resist this one)
