For anyone still using less than their desired display mode in the demo,
here's how to unlock all the video modes in the 3D setup program. Found it
on the OLR forum.
Hit the start button on your desktop and navigate to the 3D Setup icon for
NSR. Right click on it and choose "properties". In the "target" line of
the shortcut dialog box, add "+ allvideomodes" to the end of the 3DSetup.exe
shortcut. Be sure to leave a space before the +. Depending on where you
installed NSR, the shortcut target line should look like this:
Driveletter\program files\EA SPORTS\NASCAR SimRacing Demo\3DSetup.exe"
+allvideomodes
Works fine here; hope it's of use to someone. Can't imagine why you should
have to do this; the unaltered 3D setup wouldn't give me over 1024X768, but
it runs fine at 1600X1200. Surprisingly high FPS for a "new" game,
actually.

PS - probably shouldn't hijack my own thread, but has anyone seen such
sideways action on pavement since GPL? Here's hoping this demo build is
ooolld. Diff settings in the HDV file look almost the same as the ones in
rFactor. Open diff in a Cup car; okay. On the plus side, you pretty much
have to TRY to actually crash one. No wonder some folks are so pleased with
it... ;-)

Yes, forgot to say thanks Steve. Worked for me and my LCD monitor
(1280x1024).

Glad it was of use, but thank Xavier Lert, who actually posted it on the
BHMS forum. Couldn't remember where I found it when I posted it here... ;-)
