Released in 1994, Papyrus NASCAR Racing became the most realistic and simply the best auto racing simulation available on the market, introducing the sport to many computer gamers who previously shied away from racing titles. With the addition of the Track Pack expansion software and various aftermarket conversion programs, players can compete on all current Winston Cup tracks except Daytona and even run night races. Of course, the program would not be "complete" without Rover Jackson and his famous #76 Unocal Pontiac Grand Prix.
The .pcx file for Rover's car is available here as a zipped file.
