* NASCAR Thunder 2004 was the last in the "Thunder" series of games.
* NASCAR Thunder 2004 was the last in the "Thunder" series of games.
* The driver in the game cover is Tony Stewart, the 2002 Winston Cup champion. (Note the game was originally released in 2003.)
* The driver in the game cover is Tony Stewart, the 2002 Winston Cup champion. Note the game was released before the 2003 champion was known, and EA traditionally releases games numbered after next year's season.
* Because NASCAR in 2003 was between cup title sponsor change from Winston to Nextel, despite Nextel having signed the contract with NASCAR in June 2003, likely wasn't on time for EA to sign licensing with Nextel. Thus the Nascar cup isn't titled after any sponsor in this game.
* Because the game development and release happened long before the actual 2004 season, the game cup season points system differs from the actual 2004 NASCAR season, where the new "Chase for the cup" points season was introduced and named in the sequel game.
