What's the best way to get game ports on a laptop?
Is there a PCMCIA card?
How about a serial or parallel port?

Is anybody playing these games on a laptop?

I have an HP OmniBook 4000CT.

Albert,
        I haven't had any first hand experience with these, but
I do know that there is a Speed Adjustible game port out on the
Market made by Suncomm that is a PCMCIA Card.

I use a laptop exclusively for games.  I am using the Colorado Memory
Systems "Notebook GamePort".  It runs off the parallel port.  I chose
this one because the game developers support it in most games.  I found
the others including PCMCIA versions not well supported.

Great!
Well, if this isn't too expensive, I will be buying one today.
I might also try the PCMCIA one as well.

Any ideas about running NASCAR on the laptop?

I do not have any suggestions other than running lots of memory. I use an AT&T Globalyst 250
notebook with a Pentium chip and 20MB of memory.  NASCAR functions the same on your notebook
as a desktop.
