Is there any word on when Nascar 2003 is coming out?

I would suspect just before Daytona, which would be just like N4 and N2k2.

I agree which leads me to ask, why on earth did EA release NT2003 four weeks
before the end of the 2002 season. Does it have a 2003 season schedule in
it? Obviously, it doesn't have 2003 season cars/sponsors/drivers since that
info isn't decided yet.

If I wanted to sell games, I would release a little bit, say 1 or 2 months,
before Christmas.

Thats when they use too do it, but they switched to the week of Daytona with
N4.

IIRC, Nascar Heat came out before Christmas to grab sales from the holiday
season. Then, N4 got pushed back to the following February. I'm not sure how
many sales N4 lost by waiting(i.e., people only buying the first game that came
out).

Papy's official press release said "Feb. 2003", FWIW.
