Fight to the Top Bug

Signing a contract with certain teams in the Fight to the Top mode can cause the game to fail when a new in-game year/season begins should the player eventually leave the affected teams, as the game assigns duplicate drivers as replacements:

Series	Team/Car	Replacement Driver	Duplicate Of
Trucks	Kevin Harvick Inc. #6	Chase Montgomery	Bobby Hamilton Racing #18
Busch/National	Joe Gibbs Racing #19	Denny Hamlin	Joe Gibbs Racing #20
Busch/National	Kevin Harvick Inc. #120 and #133	Michel Jourdain Jr.	PPC Racing #10
Busch/National	Hendrick Motorsports #57	Martin Truex Jr.	Chance 2 Motorsports #8

When the duplicate drivers appear on the grid, the following things can occur:

• If a race is simulated, the duplicate driver will obtain double points.
• If a race is played, the game might crash or AI cars might drive erratically.

The Chance 2 Motorsports' Busch Series #81 car also has a replacement driver named Bart Hawkins (a fantasy driver that drove the fictional #81 Broken Heart Dodge in NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup) lined up that, while not in the in-game second-tier series grid, can also result in the Fight to the Top mode to fail.
