NASCAR Thunder 2002 Car Listing FAQ for Playstation 2 - v1.4 (02/08/02) Written by JayWag - http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/7603.html TABLE OF CONTENTS ----------------- I. Introduction II. Unlocking Cars III. The Cars a. Primary Cars (NASCAR Winston Cup) b. Secondary Cars (NASCAR Busch Grand National) c. Fantasy Cars IV. FAQ V. Closing =============================================================================== I. Introduction Hey! I decided to write this FAQ after finding that there are about 100 cars available for NASCAR Thunder 2002 on the Playstation 2. If you have the PSOne version of the game, there are no bonus cars, so this FAQ will not apply to you. If you want to e-mail me, go to my contributor recognition page (which is linked at the top of this FAQ) and send messages to the e-mail found on that page. FAQ REVISION HISTORY -------------------- v1.0 - 12/05/01: Everything is new, as this is the first version of the FAQ. v1.1 - 12/29/01: I added Fantasy Driver Info, the order of unlocking secondary cars, and the extra skins for Dale Jarrett. v1.2 - 12/30/01: I added info on the James Finch car and a few more cars you unlock for each championship. Hopefully, by the time my vacation is over, I will have beaten career mode and have the other 8 cars listed on how to unlock them. v1.3 - 01/01/02: Happy New Year! I added the rest of the order to unlocking Busch cars. I also added a little FAQ on questions I've been asked alot. v1.4 - 02/08/02: It's been a while since I last updated. This should be the last version of the FAQ. I added two new fantasy cars, including the NBC car. I also fixed the order of unlocking Busch Cars. =============================================================================== II. Unlocking Cars The primary cars (and their alternate skins) are available when you get the game. The secondary cars are unlocked in career mode. For each championship you win, you get two at a time.

FAQ These are questions that have been e-mailed to me alot, so I'll them here to save both of us some time. Q. How do you unlock Dale Earnhardt's car? A. You can't. EA Sports left him out of the game at the request of Theresa Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt Inc., and Richard Childress Racing. Q. Why are the driver names on the car instead of the sponsor for Rusty, Dale Jr., Sterling Marlin, and Mark Martin? A. EA is not allowed to put in the brand names of alcoholic beverages, which is what the sponsors of Rusty Wallace (Miller), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Bud), and Sterling Marlin (Coors) are. Mark Martin's real life sponsor, Pfizer/Viagra, is a drug, which are also not allowed in the game. One of the beta versions, or at least the one Prima had, had Pfizer on the quarterpanels in a screen shot, but it was removed before the final version. Q. How do you unlock the NBC Sports Car? The name 'Benny Parsons' unlocks the TNT Sports Car. A. Enter the name 'Benny Parsons2', Benny being the first name and 'Parsons2' being the last. Have a question about the game?
