Thus the game's NASCAR cup isn't titled after any sponsor, aside from race commentators still sometimes mentioning the Winston Cup as the voice lines were presumably reused from previous games. A similar situation happened with the fuel supplier which changed to Sunoco, however, Unocal's 76 can still be seen on most racetracks. Car manufacturer Pontiac would also retire from NASCAR in 2003 but still appears in the game. | ||
