GameSpy have posted a preview of NASCAR 08:

Because it's the first title for the franchise on Xbox 360 and PS3, the Tiburon team aims to pull off plenty of ambitious new ideas. As a member of the team mentioned during EA's media event a few days ago, the first big development lies within a new NASCAR physics engine that allows for the sort of heavily authentic sim racing that the team has been striving to create for years. By the same token, because of the newer strides in realism, the team has also been working hard to create an experience that won't alienate the casual audience. The final goal is a game that will make everyone happy.
