I just got nascar99 and wondering what is the preferred wheel & pedal
system.

I see some previous posts from people using the Thrustmaster nascar
pro system, but no mention about how good it is.

Also because this unit has Nascar within its name does that mean it
will only work efficiently with nascar driving games or will it pretty
much work with all racing games?

I have had my Nascar Pro for a year now and love it, I have had to make some
repairs to it every once in awhile but I like to tinker anyway.  I really
think for the money it is a good buy.  Thrustmaster is good on replacement
parts free of charge.

I think the NASCAR Pro by Thrustmaster is the best wheel for the price
for driving simulated NASCAR.  You can get better wheels (for a higher
price), but highly doubt you can find a better wheel at the Pro price.

It carries the NASCAR name because Thrustmaster paid NASCAR for a
special license deal to do so.  However, NASCAR more than likely
wouldn't have allowed some shoddy piece of ***to carry the NASCAR
logo/name.

The Pro will work in any sim that will use Wheels/pedals for input.
Some people like the progressive tension the Pro wheel provides and
others don't.  If you would like a wheel without the high degree of
progressive tension, you might want to look at the Thrustmaster NASCAR
Super Sport (which may not work in pure DOS games which do not recognize
separate axes for the pedals).

They still help me out with springs and pots for my T2 purchased in Jan 95!

What about the NASCAR Sprint wheel?

Will the NASCAR Sprint wheel work with NR99?

The Sprint wheel is a good low budget wheel.  However, don't expect much
from the pedals.  The pedals were included because many retailers
refused to carry the product if it didn't include some sort of pedals.
Basically the Sprint is TM's "new model" of their GP1 model.  With the
Sprint, you can use the paddles on the back of the wheel for brake and
accelerator.

I don't have NR99, but the unit should work fine.  If you plan on using
the Windows interface for the controller unit, I would get the latest
drivers for the Sprint from http://www.thrustmaster.com
