In Nascar Rumble, the main object of the game is to win a race or series of races against one to five opponents. They race in normal or souped-up stock cars from the NASCAR Winston Cup Series of that time, in addition to several Craftsman Truck Series drivers, unlockable past NASCAR legends, and bonus vehicles. Another feature in the game includes the voice of actor Jess Harnell, who talks to the player during a race. The game also features three original songs by guitarist Derek Trucks and team-up racing mode tournaments as well to keep the player and friends addicted.
