In a post on the Sierra Motorsports message board by Dave Matson today confirmed that Sierra and Papyrus will be at E3 later this month with their upcoming NASCAR franchise title, NASCAR Racing 4.
Here is the text of the post:
NASCAR Racing 4 will debut at the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) in LA from May 8th to the 11th. I can’t really say anything more about the product until then. I just want you folks to know that NR4 will be a worthy defender of the Papyrus crown against our insurgent competitors. It is going to be a very interesting year for NASCAR sims! In the next few weeks, I’ll try to put a screenshot or two on the papy.com web site to tease you all.
