Tony Stewart’s Sprint Car Racing, however, will not have any real-life venues in its course lineup. Stewart, who also owns the dirt-track raceway in Eldora, Ohio, played a prominent role in that phase of the career, too. In that game, dirt racing serves as a feeder series for the player’s overall career. Monster added dirt track racing to 2018’s NASCAR Heat 3 and refined its handling and physics for last year’s NASCAR Heat 4. If you’re unsure what the difference is among all these, the important part is they all involve sliding around a dirt track and occasionally blasting a competitor into the wall. There’s also the 305 Wingless Sprint Cars. The series are the 410 Winged Sprint Cars and TQ Midgets from the All Star Circuit of Champions, which hall-of-fame driver Tony Stewart bought in 2015. Monster Games of Northfield, Minnesota is behind the title, which adapts three real-life racing series for console play. Tony Stewart’s Sprint Car Racing is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 on Feb.
The developer of the NASCAR Heat series is taking its best part - dirt racing - and making a it a video game unto itself.
