It was bundled with the matrox millennium, which was the best video card available.

Unbenounced to 14 year old me, the matrox millennium had a flat shaded polygon 3d acceleration capability, which made NASCAR run pretty well if you turned textures off. (which is why it was bundled with the card) I kept textures on because I didn't know any better, and the game ran fairly poorly. Ultimately I never played it very much because the framerate was frustratingly low.

Damn shame. It was years later that I found that out. Of course I was terrible at it anyway, so it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Anyway, that's probably why your dad had the game.
