Default Racing games with OVAL tracks, other than NASCAR?

I love the oval tracks in NFS Shift, are there any other good racing games besides NASCAR that have oval tracks?

Thanks

Trackmania is pretty good just to hit some rounds!

EDIT: Wait this is not what I meant. Looking for the right name.

Depends on what level of realism you want. If you want an arcade racer you're best off getting GRID. If you want a sim racer then either get rFactor and a few of the oval tracks and cars or get iRacing as that has a huge amount of oval content.

I take it your just joking but I really don't understand why people thing oval racing is so easy. If its that easy, get an iRacing account and go beat Dale Jr - oh wait you wouldn't have a chance.

Much more to oval racing than most people think - lines, draft and all those things. For example if you are in the lead you have to be very smart to stop people from getting a run and passing you - you'll need to use other cars to your advantage all the time.
