It's due for a tune-up anyways. So, while they're at it, why not change from in-depth racing only, and add a bit more.

One of these days I hope EA Sports will sit down and realize they are missing out on half the glory of Nascar.

What I would really like to see in Nascar 09;

*Being able to own multi-car teams

*The Weekly Series being back

*No more Allstate Qualifiers

*Difficulty Up

*Team Owner Features;

custom paint scheme

race shop location choosing(and where to put stuff in it, like cars, etc.)

hiring of hauler drivers , crew chiefs, car chiefs, etc.

payroll/ money management

*More changes

-New Teams

-Teams shutting down

-New Tracks

-New Schedules

-New drivers, sponsors

-Driver/sponsor swaps

-Teams assing cars, dropping cars

-Part-time teams

-The Go-or-Go-Home rule needing to be in effect

-The option to run a partial schedule

-Keep the option to quit

*More racing lines

*More teams/drivers(like more than 43)

*Character customization

There are a lot of improvements to be made, and all of them would help the overall experience, and make the games more interesting.
