NASCAR 2 Fall '96?

I was recently at sierra online and went to the herald section. This is where they talk about new and upcoming releases and so forth. According to this, NASCAR 2 is scheduled to come out in the Fall of '96. Could anyone elaborate as to what changes, and/or additions will be added? Will it have the same, or similiar, graphics engine as Indycar 2?

Does this count as an official announcement, or do we still have to wait for a press release of some sort? Rick? Ed?
