NASCAR Heat is a 2000 racing video game for the PlayStation, Microsoft Windows and Game Boy Color. It was developed by Monster Games and published by Hasbro Interactive. The PlayStation version was co-developed with Digital Illusions CE.
The gameplay in NASCAR Heat centers on competing as licensed NASCAR drivers in stock‑car races across more than a dozen tracks. Players select from the roster of real 2000–2001 Winston Cup drivers and enter events where each race unfolds at high speed against AI‑controlled opponents whose cars generally outpace the player's vehicle. During races, players manage their car's handling and speed while navigating track layouts. Engine sounds and minimal commentary accompany the action, and static screens present drivers and track previews before each event. Multiplayer is available through LAN connections or manually located online servers, allowing human‑versus‑human races. A 60‑page manual provides details on controls, drivers, and tracks.
NASCAR Heat is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
