there doesn't seem to be an options.cfg file that was used in the demo.
there is some default.cfg or something (I don't remember right off hand),
but it looks like install default options. none of the files dated (for
example) 8-24 or 8-25 seem to contain options.
also, am I right in finding that those annoying clunking noises that you
hear when accellerating are engine backfires? I thought they sounded like
roof flaps clanking down (hehe) but I noticed when I was upside down on the
roof, that when I would accelerate, I could see little backfire puffs coming
out of the exhaust pipes.

If these things are
truly valid game options, why aren't they on a game menu?
Is it just me?

Ed Martin said something about them being hidden because they don't
want the average gamer thinking they are not good enough. Something
like that anyway. :-)

It creates this directory regardless of where you select the game "data"
location.
After you run the game once, go through some setup, and exit. Options.cfg
will
then be in that directory listed above Hope this helps. :)

Before you buy.
sorry about that! the options.cfg you're looking for is in program
files\hasbro interactive\nascar heat\
strange enough, but that's where it is. not being a jerk, when i tried
the full version demo (before my fried bought it for an early birthday)
i finally found it there. hope this helps.
