NASCAR Arcade, initially known as NASCAR Rubbin' Racing outside North America, is a 2000 racing video game developed by Sega Rosso and published by Sega for arcades. It was produced at the suggestion of producer Kenji Arai, and the soundtrack was produced by Jun Senoue. The game is based on the 1999 NASCAR Winston Cup Series, and carries an official NASCAR license with permission from EA Sports, who permitted Sega to develop the game as a arcade-only title.

The game was released in both standard and deluxe arcade cabinets, and up to eight cabinets can be linked for multiplayer. Players have to race against competition at one of four tracks while also racing against a timer. Previews and reviews of the game praised the realistic graphics and smoothness, but had criticisms of the game's gear shifter and comparison to other Sega games.
