The relations to Redneck Rampage are low. Besides the title and box art, a few textures from the original games (such as the in-game font) are used.

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4] Emmett Schkloven of NextGen wrote (in a southern accent) that the game was "Not bad fer gettin' back to yer white-trash roots, but it certainly doesn't have the staying power of a great racer."[3] Tom Price of Computer Gaming World said that the game was "far from being the best unpaved racer out there, but it's a lot better than the name would suggest. Everything about it is polished, from the graphics and interface to the bluegrass soundtrack. Most importantly, the driving action is fast and furious, and offers more challenges than just following the quickest line around a track. The only thing missing is the cultured, sophisticated humor of that other infamous redneck game—and that's hardly missed at all."[2]
