Players can play a full season of races racing as Dale Earnhardt, Bobby Labonte, Terry Labonte or Bill Elliott. The choice of driver only affects some graphics, and some callouts by the in-game commentators. Play begins on the Garage table in which the player uses a single ball to hit targets to improve their car for the race. This is followed by a 60-second qualifying lap on the Speedway table which determines the players starting position in the race. Four ramps on this table represent the four turns of the racetrack. When the race begins, players have up to five balls or until a timer ends to finish the race. During a race players can start the Pit Stop table, to increase score and improve efficiency of their car. The players finishing position in each race is tracked across an entire NASCAR season.
