Fight to the Top Bug#

Signing a contract with certain teams in the Fight to the Top mode can cause the game to fail when a new in-game year/season begins should the player eventually leave the affected teams, as the game assigns duplicate drivers as replacements:

Series

Team/Car

Replacement Driver

Duplicate Of

Trucks

Kevin Harvick Inc. #6

Chase Montgomery

Bobby Hamilton Racing #18

Busch/National

Joe Gibbs Racing #19

Denny Hamlin

Joe Gibbs Racing #20

Busch/National

Kevin Harvick Inc. #120 and #133

Michel Jourdain Jr.

PPC Racing #10

Busch/National

Hendrick Motorsports #57

Martin Truex Jr.

Chance 2 Motorsports #8

When the duplicate drivers appear on the grid, the following things can occur:

  • If a race is simulated, the duplicate driver will obtain double points.
  • If a race is played, the game might crash or AI cars might drive erratically.

The Chance 2 Motorsports' Busch Series #81 car also has a replacement driver named Bart Hawkins (a fantasy driver that drove the fictional #81 Broken Heart Dodge in NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup) lined up that, while not in the in-game second-tier series grid, can also result in the Fight to the Top mode to fail.
