Dave Kaemmer, noto responsabile del team Papyrus, è intervenuto in una discussione sul forum Sierra per spiegare che, purtroppo, considerato che la Electronic Arts detiene i diritti esclusivi sulla serie Nascar fino al 2009, non sarà possibile vedere un nuovo capitolo della loro saga Nascar Racing prima dell'anno 2010...
I've been following your posts on the General Discussion forum regarding a release of NASCAR Racing 2004 Season. We here at Papyrus would like nothing more than to continue making NASCAR games. Originally we had planned to do so, but unfortunately our parent company, Sierra, no longer has the licensing rights that would allow us to do so.

We had many new graphic and physics features planned and finished that would have made it into the release, such as fully viewable opponent pit crews, brake wear, tire blowouts, a nighttime rendering engine, and seamless multiplayer integration of 3rd party mods as was viewable in the NASCAR Racing 3 series.
While we share your eagerness for a further continuation of our flagship product, practical realities dictate that this scenario will not come to fruition. The immediate future has us locked out of obtaining the NASCAR license as we would like, but who knows, a NASCAR Racing 2010 release could always be on the way. Or maybe even sooner, if circumstances change regarding the status of the current NASCAR licensing. In the meantime, we appreciate your interest and purchase of our game. Without your patronage, we would have never made it this far.
Sincerely, Dave Kaemmer
