Make sure you start the game with "renddma.bat", rather than "n2rend.bat";
i.e., make sure you're using the DMA mode.

I am not a rendition user :( but I have seen this before. I believe you
need to put '-dma -4' after the program name.
eg: nasrend.exe -dma -4
Try it out and let me know if it works. Somebody please correct me if I am
wrong.

Your right, if you have more than 16 mb of ram, the game will run in 8 bit
textures. The -4 forces the game to run in 4 bit textures, which equals
better framerate. The difference in the 4 and 8 bit textures is very hard
to discern with the eye.
Btw, this only works with a patched version of Nascar2, either through the
download from their website, or other Nascar sites, or through the
installation of the GNS expansion pack.

See my previous reply, make sure you launch the game with the "renddma"
command.
