Checkered Flag is the third studio album of surf music by surf music pioneer Dick Dale and his Del-Tones, released in 1963. This is Dale's first entry into the " Hot Rod" style of surf music, which The Beach Boys, among others, were beginning to perform and record. Here the style shifts somewhat and features slightly altered beats and some added sounds to give the impression of the energy of Hot-rodding (this is not always the case though). The majority of the songs on this album are titled with themes of racing and Hot-rodding. Dale's next album Mr. Eliminator is basically a follow-up to this, featuring more surf songs of Hot-Rod nature.
Checkered Flag is a 1991 racing video game, for the Atari Lynx handheld game console which was developed and published by the Atari Corporation. This version of the game can support up to six players.
A remake of Checkered Flag was made for the Atari Jaguar in 1994. Unlike in the Atari Lynx version, the game features the option to change the color of a player's car in addition to the ability to modify the weather conditions.
A sequel was originally planned for the Jaguar under the name Checkered Flag 2, but the game was redesigned and retitled "Redline Racing", and later still ported to the Jaguar CD and released as World Tour Racing. Destination Software also planned to release a Game Boy Advance version of the title around 2005, but it was canceled before it was released.
