Putt-Putt Enters the Race is an educational adventure game developed and published by Humongous Entertainment on January 1, 1999.
While playing with Pep, Putt-Putt receives an invitation from Redline Rick to enter the Cartown 500 race.
At the speedway, Redline Rick tells Putt-Putt that he needs a special kind of fuel, more durable tires, a safety helmet for Pep to wear, and a racing flag.
