Written by a sim racing champion, this book covers the online sport of sim racing at a time when it was still in its infancy. Although the work discusses in detail one of the common racing simulations for the PC (at the time of publication), NASCAR Racing 2 by Sierra Sports (Papyrus) (now considered outdated); the book does introduce some of the early online and offline leagues that were used in sim racing for stock cars, and was cited by sim racers and real racers as helpful, because it discusses both sim racing and race car driving techniques. This book was featured in an article in Stock Car Racing Magazine and was also cited and commented upon by Michael L. Berger in his work: The Automobile in American History and Culture: A Reference Guide (2001) as a work that has made an interesting contribution to the history of the automobile in American culture. At the time of publication, the author's sim racing team, Oregon Trail Racing(comprised of five sim racers), was one of the first sim racing teams to have real sponsors from the business world. One sponsor, Teleport Internet Services (an ISP) featured the team's exploits on its homepage
