The legendary NASCAR Racing sim games from the now defunct Papyrus Software and Sierra were some of the best racing games ever made. But when Electronic Arts got hold of the exclusive NASCAR game rights a few years ago they pretty much game the PC platform the cold shoulder. They ported a couple of their console NASCAR games to the PC but the last PC specific game they made was the disastrous NASCAR SimRacing, released four years ago this month (that's the box cover on the right).

Now it seems EA's NASCAR exclusive deal could be on the ropes. The Sporting News is reporting that NASCAR is considering that instead if just renewing EA's deal it is "considering a nonexclusive approach that might open the category to other game makers." If such a move happens it could pave the way for a true NASCAR PC racing sim title to be released.
