That was Suzuka East layout that NASCAR used for exhibition races from 1996-1997 if you play NASCAR 99 or something then Motegi oval will probably be in it cause NASCAR raced on Motegi oval for 19998 exhibition race. Oh there’s also a collectors edition of NASCAR 98

No Daytona due to SEGA Licensing. No Daytona in the first few NR games either. Also: -NASCAR ran the short course at Suzuka in 96 and 97, then the Motegi Oval in 1998. -This game was released with a Richard Petty car replacing the 43 in game -There are two hidden paint schemes, one for EA Sports and one for Pinnacle. You need a cheat code to get them. -Atlanta, Michigan, California, Texas, Talladega, Sears Point, Watkins Glen, Bristol, Charlotte, Pocono, and Suzuka were all of the real world tracks in the game. This also features Pre-Modern Atlanta, and the old Sears Point layout. Texas and California had their Inaugural race in 1997. -24 Drivers were featured in the game from the 1997 season. Rusty and Craven were sponsored by their Team, while in next instalments, "Rusty Wallace", "Dale Jr", "Sterling Marlin" were all the beer cars. -This game uses the same engine as "Andretti Racing" Which featured both CART and NASCAR drivers, and a select few tracks that would be reused in NASCAR 98.

They also didn't have 4 tracks (Argentina, the Nurburgring, France & Jerez (where the season finale was held)) from that season & brought over a few fantasy tracks from NASCAR 98 like Salt Basin & Cedar Woods & added a few of their own like Empire City which is an NYC street circuit.
