NASCAR Heat 2 was a big improvement on NASCAR Heat: Evolution. The physics were improved, even though the driving model was still pretty heavily criticized. It also included the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series, and it was the first game to do so since NASCAR 09. As a result, the career mode is similar to NASCAR Dirt to Daytona with drivers working their way up from the Truck Series all the way up to the Cup Series.
