'''Sprint 2''' was an overhead-view [[arcade game|arcade]] [[racing game|racer]] released in [[1976]] by [[Kee Games]], a wholly-owned subsidiary of [[Atari]].

Sprint 2 evolved from [[Gran Trak 10]] and [[Gran Trak 20]], but included a [[microprocessor]] (the [[MOS Technology 6502|6502]]), a first for racing games.  This allowed Sprint 2 to include two computer-controlled cars, better graphics, and more tracks.

Sprint 2 was the first in a long series of games, some of which bore its name into the [[1980s]].  Sprint 1 was released in [[1978]].  The "1" and "2" designations reflect the number of players, rather than indicating it was a prequel.

Later follow-ups included [[Super Sprint]], [[Championship Sprint]], and [[Badlands (game)|Badlands]], each released in 1986.
