Damn, this actually makes me want an Xbox One now. I'm a HUGE Nascar fan and the fact that there hasn't been a game on current gen yet is killing me.

The problem with GT (And I'm assuming Forza is going to have the same issues) is that oval racing is VERY different from grand prix racing. They have to fully commit to modeling the physics, tracks, and aero to suite how the cars drive. Not to mention that the AI can't just be moving road blocks since oval racing is all about racing around other cars.
I've yet to see a game other than iRacing do justice to oval racing and honestly a big part of that is the fact that you have to race real people and not stupid AI cars. Ovals are super boring when you are by yourself but when there are nearly 40 cars on a 1.5 mile track and your constantly racing not only the track conditions but also have other racers on every side of you it's really fun.... until you crash lol.
