Sprint 2 was an overhead-view arcade racer released in 1976 by Kee Games, a wholly owned subsidiary of Atari.

Sprint 2 evolved from Gran Trak 10 and Gran Trak 20, but included a microprocessor (the 6502), a first for racing games. This allowed Sprint 2 to include two computer-controlled cars, better graphics, and more tracks.

Sprint 2 was the first in a long series of games, some of which bore its name into the 1980s. Sprint 1 was released in 1978. The "1" and "2" designations reflect the number of players, rather than indicating it was a prequel.

Later follow-ups included Super Sprint (1986), Championship Sprint (1986), and Badlands (1989).
