> Don't they now have the NASCAR license?

EA got the license after NR2003. Then NR2003 was pulled from
the shelves of retail stores, but is/was still being sold from
online stores, which didn't quite make sense.

EA lost the exclusive license starting 2010. No one has an exclusive
license now, it's shared between EA (Days of Thunder), Sony PS3
(Grand Turismo 5), and iRacing, which has a Nascar based series.
