        Yep, if you have a look at the zip file, it should make the following
        directories (with contents)
CARS/
EFFECTS/
ROL/
SOUND/
TRACKS/
CARS/CARS/
CARS/CARS/DRIVERS.TXT
CARS/CARS/DEMOCARS.DAT
EFFECTS/EFFECTS.DAT
ROL/DEMOROL.DAT
SOUND/DEMOSND.DAT
TRACKS/TALADEGA/
TRACKS/TALADEGA/DEFAULT.ST1
TRACKS/TALADEGA/RACE.LP
TRACKS/TALADEGA/TALADEGA.DAT
TRACKS/TALADEGA/TALADEGA.TXT

        this works (IMHO the game sucks...)

pkunzip -d nascar.zip

This sets up the proper directories.
