Developed by Stormfront Studios and published by EA Sports, NASCAR 99 arrived on the Nintendo 64 in 1998 as a racing game. It blends racing and simulation elements.

It landed about 2 years into the N64's life. Other notable N64 releases from 1998 include The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, 1080° Snowboarding and Mario Party.

It is part of the NASCAR (EA) series; on the N64 you can also try NASCAR 2000. Stormfront Studios also made Hot Wheels Turbo Racing for the N64.

NASCAR 99 supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the N64 hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a story or exploration rather than laps

What playing NASCAR 99 is like

Racing games range from realistic driving to kart racers with weapons and shortcuts. Races are short, making them great for quick sessions and split-screen rivalries.

Tip for newcomers: Learn each track's racing line and braking points; in kart racers, item strategy matters as much as driving.
