Beat the PRO (PRO Trainer) This mode allows you to race against various drivers at their best track or tracks. Depending on how well the driver is at the track makes it harder for you to beat them at that certain track. Some drivers may have more than one track, here you'll find the drivers and the track/tracks that they are best at. Including a strategy on how to beat the pros, along with their best time: **************** MIKE SKINNER **************** 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.
