There were a few more of these ultra generic games released by the same company. Though it was completely without cosmetic significance, it was rather fun and well-made.

I had this exact one when I was a kid. Never gave a fuck about nascar, and the game was pretty boring for a kid accustomed to Mario Kart, but I did have a lot of fun driving backwards on the track and head-on colliding with 50 cars. Managed to get a few of them airborne once or twice

There's a few decent games in the series. Notably the early PC titles and the Air Attack games.
Problem is that each game has a bunch of different versions. You might think they're all just straight ports, but they're not. And the ones that are have such varying technical quality.
