For those who don't know this is Ross Chastain who grew up as a watermelon farmer from Florida, the reason he rode the wall was that he needed to make up two positions to still be eligible to fight for the championship at the final race of the season.  Not only did he pass the two cars he also beat another car (Denny Hamlin in the 11) who just so happened to be his rival all season and took him out of contention for the championship.  Ross ended up finishing second in the standings behind Joey Logano in the 22, Ross would win the exact same race the next season at Phoenix but had already been eliminated from championship contention.

Fun fact: This game was originally an exclusive to the 3DO of all systems.

If this gets top comment I'll eat 1000 forks

I had no idea that Need for Speed started as a licensed game.  That has to be the most successful game franchise started by a magazine.

6:19 I swear I imagined a slow mo Wade screaming in a driver seat and it’s the most hilarious thing I’ve seen today-

This game was developed at EA Vancouver, where I was born. The demo that plays at the menu was created by a customer of mine who worked on this game!

I wonder if this game would be more visibly legible if played on a CRT.  These old games really weren't intended to be seen as the raw pixels modern flatscreens display.

Wade has the need
The need for screaming

I used to own and play the SE version of this game as a kid. Where you could actually change the color of your car. Brilliant.

Gran Turismo 2 was the game that officially made me a car guy.  I am definitely not alone in this.

I was personally a gearhead from the day I was born. As an infant motorcycles made me stop crying.

This isn't actually the first. The first one is on the 3DO. Same title, different game, mostly. As they kept releasing ports they overhauled various parts of it over time, including making the driving more arcadey and less realistic, adding loads of other racers instead of just one other FMV guy you were racing against, completely changing the menus, and more.

The crashes are so violent and the physics engine is so robust!
