NASCAR Racing 4 is a racing simulator produced by Papyrus and released in February of 2001. The game was a huge step forward over its predecessor and addressed many requested features for the game. Namely was the introduction of full 24k color, as the previous games had only allowed 256, vastly improved car models and environments and, for the first time, the ability of the car to rotate in three dimensions (i.e. the ability of the car to get airborne).[1] The simulator also continued the increased efforts to reflect the aspects of driving a real car.

This was the first version of the game since the original NASCAR Racing to have actual car makes in the game. Additionally, it was the first version of the game to feature a full 43 car field. It was the first installment in the "NASCAR Racing" series to include Daytona International Speedway, and included all 21 tracks that were raced in Winston Cup in 2000.
