NASCAR Thunder 2004 puts you behind the wheel in a world where grudges and alliances mean the difference between victory and disaster. You race a pack of 42 real stars who think for themselves, remember your every move, and aren't afraid to pay you back. Revenge may be around the next corner as you scream through 23 authentic tracks and 11 fantasy tracks. The key to success is building alliances in an improved Career mode that challenges drivers to manage sponsors, teams, garages, and crews. Racing just became a contact sport.

Dale Earnhardt Bonus
Win the Daytona 500 in season mode driving Kevin Harvick's #29 car to unlock Dale Earnhardt. You will also get the Goodwrench car, Goodwrench Plus car, Wrangler car, Silver car, Coke car, Bass Pro Shops car, Oreo car, and the Legacy car.

Unlock All Fantasy Drivers
To unlock all fantasy drivers, go to Create-a-Car and put in your first name as "extra" and your last name as "drivers".

Unlock Paint Skins
To unlock paint skins, set the game level on Veteran or Legend and then race on any one-player race. This will not work on two-player races.

Drive Locked Cars
While in multi-player mode, it is possible to drive a locked car. This only works one player at a time. Have one player choose a car, then have the other player go to the same exact car. Then change the car to a paint scheme that is locked. After that, they can choose their car.
