NASCAR Racing 2003. Junior is known to play that game a ton. I have it and its awesome. That was the last year for Sierra & Papyrus before EA got the exclusive NASCAR deal for PC games. Looks like he was racing with the Truck MOD.

Jr. you are a true gentleman. Your comments after the race on Sunday show what a true class act you are. As mad as all of us fans were after the race I hope we will all follow your example. The most important thing is no one was hurt and you will all race again Saturday night. You are a true role model for our youth and future drivers. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

You are one of the reasons Nascar is #1. You are class on and off the track. Watching you on tv you seem so humble and and down to earth and caring towards the fans. I think it would be ahhsumm to spend a day with you like lucky Mr. Wallace. To be honest, I was always a KISS fan, but after seeing Gene Simmons and his family on tv, i'm tossing all their music and shirts. I'm buying a new Dale shirt and hanging up my Marilyn calender. They even made Tony look good, my daughters fav! See you guys in Canada, 2007!.

The racing game is NASCAR Racing 4. I used to race against Jr. online, about 4 or 5 years ago. Son of a gun wrecked me out of the lead on the last lap at IRP on night!
