The NTSC game cover features Elliott Sadler, driver of the #38 M&M's Ford Fusion.

The PAL region game cover features Matt Kenseth's #17 DeWalt Power Tools Ford Fusion.

The game retains the teammate features introduced in NASCAR 06: Total Team Control, but does not add any major gameplay changes.

However, the graphics include a blurring effect to attempt to give a better sense of high speed, and the pace of the gameplay has been sped up considerably.

The game also introduced a RaceBreaker feature which allows players to see the holes in the track to help make their way through the pack.
