Yesterday, while at work I got a distress call from my wife and son. It
seems that after going into "RACE" menu that there was no "QUALIFYING" nor
"PRACTICE" on the list at the bottom left. The only option left is race.
Has anybody have this happen to them or know what happened??!! If so,
please help me, so I can work in peace once more.

THANKS,

Since you are a NASCAR fan, I assume we are talking about NASCAR2...

It sounds like they saved a "race" in progress.  When they went to the
track the only option is RACE.  This happens even if the game is saved
after the qualifying round and one would normally still have a "warmup"
session.  Just don't load the saved version and the other options will
return.

Gosh, I wish that was the kind of distress calls my wife made<G>.
Anway, I believe that's what happens when you change the "driving
mode" to "arcade".  In "arcade" mode all you can do is race and
I *think* you start at the back of the pack.

Race type should be Realsitic, no Arcade.
