The game included all of the 2004 NEXTEL Cup Series tracks except Pocono Raceway. The game cover features the cars of Ryan Newman, Ron Hornaday, and the Craftsman Truck Series truck of Chad Chaffin on the cover.
The game features NASCAR's top 3 series NEXTEL Cup, Busch, and Craftsman Truck. The game also included Single-player and multiplayer online modes and a career mode for single-player.

Criticism
NASCAR SimRacing is often criticized by players for its lack of support from EA Sports. The game suffered many problems including an infamous 'yellow flag bug' which would cause the player to be disqualified from a race for accidentally passing another car while under caution in both single player and multiplayer races. In October, 2006 EA Sports shut down the GameSpy multiplayer servers, which was by far the most popular mode in the game. Players developed software to once again race in multiplayer servers but the popularity was not what it once was. In February, 2007 the multiplayer GameSpy server began working again.
