"Super Trucks Racing" is a truck racing game for the PlayStation 2. The style of the trucks and the flow of the game is considered to be very dissimilar to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. All drivers and sponsor information are based on 2002 season of the Super Trucks racing series [cite web | url = http://www.gamestats.com/objects/017/017461/index.html| title = Game information | publisher = Game Stats | date = | accessdate = 2008-05-19] . While the player doesn't have to worry about refueling his truck with gasoline, the player must maintain the temperature of his brakes by cooling them with water.

These specialized trucks are eighteen wheelers that are modified for racing on road courses; a large majority of these courses are located in Europe (including the "Circuit Paul Armagnac" in Nogaro, France). "Formula One"-like physics and turning dominate the tracks. Darlington Raceway is considered to be one of the few North American courses in the game. However, it uses right as well as left turns like a road course instead of the standard oval used for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing. All the real-world drivers that are in the game are European in origin. [cite web | url = http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/driving/supertrucks/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;review| title = Racing information | publisher = Game Spot| date = | accessdate = 2008-05-19] Although pit road can be seen while driving through the start/finish line, the entrance to pit road is blocked and pit stops are not permitted in any mode of the game.

This game is usually sold in multiple game bundles at most Canadian Wal-Mart stores in addition to stores in the United States of America. Unlike most PlayStation 2 games, the bottom of the CD-ROM has a dark blue tint; most PlayStation 2 games have a normal CD-ROM/DVD-ROM tint to the bottom of the compact disc. The only known glitch is that the game can freeze up at any time except during menus. In the United Kingdom, this game is known as "Super Trucks".
