Designed by the famous Pat Lawlor and NASCAR-based artwork drawn by John Youssi, this fast-paced machine draws you into the spirit of the NASCAR race. Hitting the test car opens the garage. From there you follow the instructions on the dot matrix display. Multiple extra ball awards are also offered during game play. Shoot the R-A-C-E shots to light the lock feature. Once this is done twice, shooting up the left ramp starts multiball. The activation of multiball also lights up various jackpot options. The toughest part of the machine to conquer is the lighting of all the letters in the expression C-H-A-M-P-#1. This is done by completing six different challenges. Doing so activates champion challenge. The racing pinballs, especially in the lower ramp configuration when activated, look like a fast-paced race with the balls zipping around the track. Allen Bestwick, the announcer for NBC’s NASCAR races, adds his voice to the game as well as Sammy Hagar’s lyrics.
