****************
Texas
His Time: 29.973 sec.
My Time: 28.790 sec.
Strategy: The strategy on beating Mike Skinner at Texas is to try to get a
great lap to beat him. In order to get a lap to beat Mike Skinner
is to try to get through turns 1 - 2 as well as turns 3 - 4, to
get to around 176 - 177 MPH. If you can execute the turns at those
given speeds you have a good chance of beating Mike Skinner.
Dover Downs
His Time: 22.741 sec.
My Time: 22.739 sec.
Strategy: Dover Downs will be a totally different when you went against
Skinner at Texas. One thing that you have to do is try to stay as
low through all 4 turns. The best speed range to get through the
turns at Dover Downs is to try to have the speed around 143 - 145
MPH. If you manage to get around the speed range mentioned you
will be able to beat Mike Skinner at Dover Downs "The Monster
Mile".
****************
RUSTY WALLACE
*****************
Bristol
His Time: 16.010 sec.
My Time: 15.999 sec.
Strategy: Of course, this is the fastest short track on the NASCAR circuit
Rusty is one of the masters of short track racing. The way to
beat Rusty Wallace at Bristol is to find the best line at Bristol
but the big thing is to try to get good amount of speed through
the turns. The best speed to go through the turns at Bristol to
ensure a good chance of beating Rusty is trying to get through the
turns at around 113 - 115 MPH through all four turns. Here's a
good tip that you can use if you want to increase your chance of
victory against Rusty is to try to stay as low to the bottom of
the race track as possible.
California
His Time: 39.594 sec.
My Time: 39.319 sec.
Strategy: Rusty Wallace won at California in the 2001 NAPA 500. This is a
2-Mile speedway and getting around this track may sometimes be a
little tricky. This is one of the tracks where a possibility of
running wide open may occur but when trying to beat Rusty at
California you have to be careful on how you get through the turns
at this track. To be able to get through turns 1 - 2 to ensure
a time better than Rusty's you have to try to get through those
turns at least 172 - 174 MPH. Then when you go down the
backstretch you'll almost reach 200 MPH but you'll have to try
to be around the low side to halfway of the track in turns 3 - 4.
To be able to get through turns 3 - 4 you would have to try to
drop your speed to around 171 - 173 MPH. With going through the
turns at the speeds and you could have a possibility of beating
Rusty at California.
***************
RYAN NEWMAN
***************
Las Vegas
His Time: 33.096 sec.
My Time: 32.974 sec.
Strategy: Now you have to go against Ryan Newman "2002 Rookie of the
Year". You must go against Ryan at the 1.5 speedway of Las
Vegas, a track that is flat in turns and can produce long green
flag racing. Goint against Newman at this track may be hard
doing but it takes time trying to beat Ryan Newman because like
I said it is hard to beat him. Of course some are wondering on
how to beat Ryan at this track and with practice you shall beat
him. There is one trick that you can do in order to beat Newman
at Vegas, is that when you start try to get good enough speed
as you leave turn 4 and head to the start/finish line to start
the session against Ryan. When you approach turn 1 try to
drive a bit hard into turn 1 but slow down to around 146 - 147
MPH and try to get a good enough run down the backstretch.
When you get ready to enter turn 3 do the same as mention for
turn 1 but this time you may end up slowing down to around 145 -
147 MPH. If you can do this good enough you can beat Ryan
Newman but be careful that he doesn't end up beating you to the
line.
***************
DAVE BLANEY
***************
Michigan
His Time: 38.426 sec.
My Time: 38.363 sec.
Strategy: This is another one that is hard but isn't as hard as it is
when you faced Ryan Newman at Las Vegas. This time you have
to face Dave Blaney but be careful he will put up a real good
fight at this 2-Mile speedway where there are several grooves
to choose from at this track. Trying to get through the turns
can be a little tricky just like when you went against Rusty
at California but at Michigan that you can get more speed
through the turns. The best way to get around this 2-Mile
speedway and possibly beat Dave Blaney you can try to get
up to at least 200 - 201 MPH before entering turns 1 - 2 but
try to reduce your speed to around 179 - 181 MPH, then get
by the wall while going down the backstretch. You'll probably
get to around 200 MPH but you can dive in Turns 3 - 4 a bit
hard but reduce your speed like in turns 1 - 2. If done
right you should be able to beat Blaney to the line.
Lowe's
His Time: 30.325 sec.
My Time: 29.978 sec.
Strategy: Going against Blaney may be a little easier at the Lowe's
Motor Speedway. Once you come out of turn 4 heading to the
start/finish line to start the five lap session against Blaney
you'll want to try to get speed to around 193 MPH but you'll
have to slow down to around 169 - 173 MPH into turn 1 and
accerlate once you begin to exit turn 2. Head down the back-
stretch and you should be able to reach around 194 MPH but
you'll have to slow down again once you get to turns 3 - 4.
Do the same as in turns 1 - 2 be around 169 - 173 MPH and
beat Blaney to the start/finish line.
*******************
STERLING MARLIN
*******************
Daytona
His Time: 48.549 sec.
My Time: 47.226 sec.
Strategy: This must be one of the easiest of all the drivers in the Race
the Pro (Pro Trainer). Sterling Marlin a 2-Time Daytona 500
winner ('94 - '95) isn't much of a challenge if you're real
good racing at Daytona. Once you cross the start/finish line
to start the session against Sterling Marlin and as you enter
turns 1 - 2 try to stay low to the yellow line in the turns.
The speed that you may try to be around as you go through the
first two turns should be around 186 - 189 MPH. Exit out of
turn 2 and try to be by the wall once you exit turn 2. Go down
the backstretch and you should be able to reach around 195 -
196 MPH before entering turns 3 - 4. Go through turns 3 - 4
like you done with turns 1 - 2 and you should be able to beat
Sterling Marlin very easily.
**************
STEVE PARK
**************
Texas
His Time: 28.913 sec.
My Time: 28.823 sec.
Strategy: The strategy on beating Steve Park at Texas is to try to get a
great lap to beat him. In order to get a lap to beat Steve Park
is to try to get through turns 1 - 2 as well as turns 3 - 4, to
get to around 176 - 177 MPH. If you can execute the turns at those
given speeds you have a good chance of beating Steve Park.
Dover Downs
His Time: 22.753 sec.
My Time: 22.725 sec.
Strategy: Dover Downs will be a totally different when you went against
Park at Texas. One thing that you have to do is try to stay as
low through all 4 turns. The best speed range to get through the
turns at Dover Downs is to try to have the speed around 143 - 145
MPH. If you manage to get around the speed range mentioned you
will be able to beat Steve Park at Dover Downs "The Monster Mile".
**************
KURT BUSCH
**************
New Hampshire
His Time: 29.559 sec.
My Time: 29.343 sec.
Strategy: Ah, New Hampshire "The Magic Mile", a 1.058 mile track which is
similar to Martinsville but the straights are longer than those
of Martinsville. When you come out of turn 4 getting ready to
face Kurt Busch you must get a good amount of speed but you'll
have to slow down to around 104 - 106 MPH entering turn 1 and
once you get to the middle of the turns 1 - 2 get back on the
throttle. Then you'll go down the backstretch and when you reach
turns 3 - 4 do the same as explained for turns 1 - 2, then you'll
get back on the throttle in the middle. You can then go down the
frontstretch and you should beat Kurt Busch by about a -0.2 -
-0.5 seconds ahead of him.
9. Championship Mode
Championship Mode is similar to the Single Race section except that you can
compete for the Championship for the certain series (example: Competeing for
the Winston Cup Championship or the Featherlite Championship). Depending on
the series that you choose the number of races can vary and it all depends
with the difficulty setting that you choose that can provide a challenge
for you. Each series have their own distinct point system that is different
but the bonus points awarded for leading laps is the same [5 points for
leading a lap and 10 for leading the most].
10. Point System
For those who are not familar with the point systems for each of the four
series in NASCAR Dirt to Daytona. In each series every driver is awarded
with points no matter where you finish, BUT the lower you finish the less
amount of points you receive and may dimish your chances of winning the
championship. For those who are wondering how many points are awarded for
