Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing is a Super NES racing game that is loosely based on the NASCAR racing sport. Players can either race on season mode, exhibition mode, or make their own tracks. The object in the game is to get as to close to first place as possible by the end of the race. Practice is also necessary if the player wants to start at the pole position. During the season mode, if the player fails to score points, then it's game over for him.

Even though the cars move somewhat slower than today's Charger vehicles, beating Kyle Petty and winning the Cup is still a challenge for fantasy race car drivers. In both versions, there is no licensing for the Winston Cup because Nintendo didn't tolerate any tobacco-related sponsors back in 1995.

[edit] Japanese version

Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing was released in Japan as Circuit USA by Virgin Interactive. The tracks are stripped of their realism, giving them more of a Formula One feel rather than a NASCAR feel. Also, its graphics are much cruder than the American version: in track crossings, there are no visible bridges or elevation effects. In the American version, Kyle Petty is mentioned by name while in the Japanese version, he is mentioned only by the number he had during the 1995 NASCAR season.
