Is EA's NASCAR Sim Franchise In Trouble?

Maybe. Check out the article at FirstCuts.

	"EA's "NASCAR '09" game can still be purchased, but the formation of new games in that line is on hold. "The old game was more for the simulation players, the serious gamers," said Randy Chase, EA's product marketing manager. "This is more lighthearted, something that's more fun for the entire family. We look at it as a respectful caricature of the sport."

Yup and be prepared to way too much for it. While the game is good, and the mods do keep the game alive and kicking, I don't know if paying upwards of $80 or more is worth it.

but if you do sites,
masgrafx.com
bhmotorsports.com

to add to that:

rainbowpaintdesigns.net (a lot of cars/pit crews for download)
setup-guru.com (for track setups)
setupswap.com (another site for setups)
revampedreloaded.com (updated tracks)
saferbarrierproject.com (another site for track updates)
superspeedway.net (a lot of mods, including the COT mod, need to register to download the mods, it's free)

It's really easy, in most case its just download the file and place it in the right folder.
Some of the mods like the COT mod and others, is just download the file, and hit install and it does all the work.

Also check out my arena, there's a few videos of NR 2003 in action as to what type of game your getting into, there's two version of a COT mod, (Earnhardt one is the SSnet. version, better version IMO), the Talladega one is just the game itself no mods, other than updated car skins.
