Tomorrow at 12pm EST, Ratbag Games, Wizard Works, and Infrogrames will be releasing the 18 MB demo of their latest Dirt Track Racing Sprint Cars.  Seeing as we will serve as a mirror for the demo and I was give the demo a day in advance I thought I would post some screenshots as well as a bit of brief info on the game to get everyone pumped up for the demo.

The demo will feature 2 tracks and the ability to play up to 10 players multiplayer via GameSpy Arcade.

Last December when I reviewed Ratbag's Dirt Track Racing it was one of the best racing games I had played period.  With great graphics, physics, multiplayer and a $19.99 price tag to boot you just couldn't go wrong.  Now almost a year later Ratbag is back with the next offering in the Dirt Track Racing Family: DTR Sprint Cars.
