If so, make sure you post your career information/summary (what season you're in, series, sponsor, standings, etc.) so us serious career mode guys have something to talk about!

really cool, I Probably should practice more but I dont really have the patience. I read that there was a glitch where you have to pit sooner than the AI (Less fuel mileage) when racing longer races, have you encountered that?

Re: NASCAR 09 - Anyone still playing this?

Oh buddy, absolutely. It plays a KEY factor in every race. Knowing when to pit, testing out my pit windows (knowing how long I can go with a certain setup;gas etc.)..it all plays in to the excitement. Knowing I'll have to pit at least once, sometimes twice more than the other cars forces me to gamble on pit road, and really work hard every race. I think it adds a fun, challenging aspect to the game although it still makes no sense.
