NASCAR Racers is an animated television series about two rival NASCAR racing teams, Team Fastex and Team Rexcor, competing against each other in the futuristic NASCAR Unlimited Division.
26 half-hour episodes were produced by Saban, and shown on the FOX network between 1999-2001.
Several NASCAR Racers books, one Game Boy, one PlayStation, and one PC video game were adapted from the show. NASCAR Racers books were authored by Gene Hult under the name J. E. Bright, and published by HarperEntertainment. The show was produced before Fox showed NASCAR races.

While real life NASCAR tracks are overrun by ovals, this TV series is anything but. The racers compete on a wide variety of courses, including road course, off-road, mountain, and Motorsphere. The Motorsphere track starts with a typical race track leading into a sphere, then tracks are wrapped around the inner surface of the sphere, which look like the AcceleDrome track from AcceleRacers.
The NASCAR Unlimited Division features cutting edge, over the top technologies (from the show's point of view).
To protect drivers from crashes, each race car has an inner Rescue Racer that ejects from the outer body if an accident happens.
XPT racers, introduced in season 2, are the new race cars for Team Fastex. XPT racers use atomic fuel run by forced-combustion systems.
Nitro Racers contain high-flux fusion units that can get maximum power out of atomic fuel.
Just like some modern race car drivers, they race on simulators to hone their skills before actual races.
