Like the title says, check your local Best Buy if you want a copy
of this oldie. My local store (Albany, NY) had them delivered
overnight and I picked mine up this morning. I've been trying for a
while to get this sim at a reasonable price (it seemed like it
disappeared off the shelves fairly shortly after release two years ago
and was never offered as a classic/budget release [aside from the
Cheerio's offer]; it was available in Sierra's "Acceleration Pack",
but I'd still be spending $50 for NL, a game I already had [N3], and a
game I didn't want [CTS]).
The good news is that this is the full package with paper manual
(at least it sure feels like that without opening the package -- gotta
save something for Christmas :). This release does not include the
die-cast car, so maybe they have done a new release of NL (my
understanding was that the original release with die-cast car [which
didn't sell too well] was the only stand-alone release to date).
One other bit of news is that this qualifies for two more "free"
Sierra games (plus $5 S&H) by mail. The rebate offer gets printed out
automatically with your Best Buy receipt.

My local Kmart has them for 4.99 as well. They are also missing the car as
well, even thought the box is made for it. That might be why they are cheap
too. Its funny you couldn't get me to play N3 any more but I still play
Legends.

In NL can you race Daytona and Talladega without restrictor plates?
Also are the winged cars available?

I haven't opened the box yet, but... Since the first restrictor
plates were introduced in 1971, and this game models the 1970 season,
the cars shouldn't be using them (FYI the qualifying speed for the
1970 Daytona race was 194mph, Talladega was 199mph).
And yes, the Superbird and Daytona Charger are in the game.

N4 doesn't have the winged cars and drivers from the 70's
