Nice find TC! I just tagged it to the homepage, added a bunch of screenshots and the features list. Sounds promising. What's your vibe?

Hadn’t heard of this but will definitely be picking this up - shame no switch version

I'm excited, with some hesitation. I think the wings look weird (small), and the dirt racing in the recent NASCAR games wasn't anything I'd base a whole game around.

But a new dirt game is a new dirt game, so I'm still excited for it

I will pick this up for sure.

I wonder if any "real" tracks will be included ?

I'm guessing Eldora being that the guy owns the track and fingers crossed that Knoxville would be in.

Hey it's 29 bucks so we will see.

Will get this game no matter what. Hopefully it is better than the last WoO game.

I had a sprint car racing game for the PC back when I was running windows 98 and it was a blast. It was called Dirt Track Racing Sprint Cars I'm hoping this one will be as good.

Just looked in the game closet still have it:

This has potential.  It's good to see an experienced game developer on board.  I had a spring car racing game for an older console and I absolutely loved it.  It's all about driveability of the cars for me, love to see OS with a review of this once they get to play it.  Only downside is Tony Stewart is an arrogant, self absorbed POS.  I wonder if there will be a code so TS can run someone over again.

DTRSC is probably my most played racing game of all time. The funniest part to me is that I made a little bit of an "internet following" at the time with my online race team, 4 Abreast Racing (I went by 4AR_VaMp at the time...don't ask lol). We'd just show up to the rooms like the Outlaws and kick *** everywhere we went.

Then I got into doing a bunch of skins for the cars. Did hundreds of recreations of real cars and fake ones.

In 2001, I moved to Indianapolis to do some work for a startup Indy Lites team, and I got to meet a lot of the guys in the industry.

Funniest part to me was when I was in one of the shops talking to the guys (this was when World of Outlaws Sprint Cars 2002 had just come out), when they found out my online name, they all did this whole "hey!!! This is that Vamp guy! Come here, boys!". And it was this bizarre starstruck-in-both directions moment.

Did a bunch of custom skins for the guys, ended up in pit lane for a couple of Indy 500s.

No idea why I'm putting that rambling story here, but yeah--DTRSC was one of my favorite memories of racing games in my entire life.

Those were the good old days.

DTR and the following ratbag games had a great online community.

I got in with a good group of guys online and we played the heck out of all the ratbag games.

Hard to believe that's been about 20 years ago.

DTRSC is by far the best in my opinion. The career mode was amazing.

I echo the comments regarding the original DTRSC from Ratbag. That game just played like it was a labor of love by the developers. I recall replaying the wrecks over and laughing at the carnage. :-) I still have the game somewhere, but have never taken the time to emulate Wins 98 to try to play it again. I'm interested in this new one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Knoxville is in it. Even if it isn't, the local split screen is a big plus for me, so I can dominate my kids at it.

Based on this post from their Facebook page, there are no real tracks in the game:
"The game will include 24 custom built dirt tracks at launch. They are all brand new for this game, and are specifically designed to provide the best sprint car racing experiences."
That's a bit of a bummer...oh well, we'll see how the tracks shape up guess...

Jeff Favignano just put up a gameplay video. Worth a look (watching it now, so no opinions yet here).

Makes sense if they have no licensed tracks for a budget-priced game. Hopefully just getting a feeler for sales numbers, and if they're good, go with more licensing for the next version?

The video was a great view of the game from the menu system to on track action.

The guy did a decent job of showing us what we wanted to see.

While there are no "real" tracks one of the tracks he runs in the video looks very similar to Knoxville.
