Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing

Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing is a racing game endorsed by NASCAR driver Kyle Petty (except in Japan). The game looks good graphically when looking at magazine screenshots, but when you play it, you'll be proven wrong very quickly.

Behind the main menu, there is a scrolling background which has a few words on it. While the texture is used, the words are incredibly hard to read without emulator tools. These words are all parts of the title of the game, except for "Valvlvoline." This is likely meant to spell Valvoline, which is a company that produces oils and lubricants for cars. They have also acted as a prominent NASCAR sponsor (though his team, Sabco Racing, was not sponsored by them at the time - a rival brand, Kendall, acted as his minor motor oil sponsor), and given its NASCAR theme, it makes sense that they would appear in here. Strangely, it seems that this is the only mention of Valvoline in the game.
