The game includes 33 drivers of the 2000 season, along with 16 tracks to race on. The available racing modes are single races and a 16-race season, with progress saved to battery-backed RAM. There is also a head-to-head two-player mode via link cable. Game options include selectable difficulty, numbers of cars on the track (from 10 to 20), race length (in % of a real NASCAR race, default is 3% for 11 laps), car damage (off, on, or limited) and pit mode (for short or long races).
Before a race, the selected car can be tuned from the defaults of which every driver has his own. Fuel volume, wheel lock, rear spoiler, shock absorbers, tire pressure and weight jacking are adjustable. During the race, the own car is seen from a third-person perspective, with race stats, damage and fuel indicators, speed and current gear displayed at the top and bottom. Only in the season mode there is a choice of automatic or manual shifting.

Flags
In NASCAR racing, track officials use flags with different patterns and color schemes to communicate with drivers during the race. In NASCAR 2000, you'll see the following flags.
•
Green - The green flag signifies the start of an event or a restart after a caution period.
•
Halfway Mark - Another common marker is the crossed sticks flag, showing the halfway mark of a race. When the flag is shown, the leaders are halfway through a race.
•
White - The white flag comes out when the race leader crosses the start/finish line to begin the final lap.
•
Checkered - A checkered flag indicates that the race winner has completed the race. The remainder of the cars race back to the start/finish line to determine their final positions. After crossing the finish line, you can press START to skip to the end of the race and view the standings.
Split Time
Checking your split time is a good way to determine if your car is racing faster or slower as the race rolls on.
Each track is divided into segments, or time traps. After the first lap, your best time through the present segment appears on the upper middle area of the screen.

Tips & Maps
Championship Strategy
To win a Championship, focus on consistently finishing in the top 10 rather than winning every race, as gaining points in every race is key.
Wheel Lock
Adjusting the wheel lock setting adds sway to the car's performance; increasing it causes the car to drift right, while decreasing it causes it to drift left.
Rear Spoiler
Increasing the rear spoiler angle increases downforce and provides better grip for the rear tires, but it also decreases your top speed.
Save/Load Season
NASCAR 2000 uses a built-in battery to save one season at a time; you can save by exiting the season and confirming, and load by selecting 'LOAD SEASON' from the Main menu.
