Well I just installed Nascar Racing for the first time in a couple of
years (been playing Nascar 2). I am having a huge problem get the game
to recognize my AWE 64 soundcard. I've tried every available card option
and made sure my port, IRQ, and dma addresses are correct. I have plenty
of conventional memory, and have NO EMS selected. In Win 95 the setup
program recognizes the card fine.(Too bad I can't run in Win95) In DOS,  
it doesn't recognize the card in setup and will hang the system during
boot.  Perhaps you could offer a suggestion, or have heard of someone else
having this challenge?  Any advice would be appreciated. I'm desperate to dirt
race, but without sound, it wouldn't be the same!

First, disable the sound card in Nascar setup and see if the game will run
fine.  Then, try telling it you have s soundblaster pro, with port 220, irq
5 or 7, and dma1.  Let me know if this works.  If it does, you can start
working your way up the soundcard ladder with those settings.

The game runs fine without the card. I've tried telling it I have a sound card
pro and every other card there. 220, 5, 1 are my settings. This problem now
seems to go beyond Nascar 1.  Now I'm having this prob with other games. I
could post or send a copy of my config.sys and autoexec.bat if you can tell
anything from those. They look fine to me, but maybe I'm missing something.
What's weird is the game runs fine (very slow frame rate though...on a P300!)
in a Dos window and it sees the card just fine It doesn't see it and hangs when
starting the game in pure Dos mode though...

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T2

(that assumes address 220, IRQ5 and DMA1... you may need to adjust those
values to match your setup)
