I'm making this list because these games are all awesome in some way. The order of ranking is not necessarily based on quality, but on my own bias towards certain types of vehicles or other game elements.

This awesome game uses the same awesome physics engine as NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, is made by the same awesome people, and has an even more awesome premise: drive junk cars in lots of crazy events (like flagpole races and figure-8 races) to become the best driver in the demolition derby world.
This is the best Gran Turismo game. It's basically the same as the later games, except it has the AWESOME RACING MODIFICATIONS that they lack. Who doesn't want to turn a regular Ford Taurus into a front-wheel-drive NASCAR replica? Plus, the soundtrack is a classic.
This game had an awesome mod community, which turned it from an adequate sim-racer to an amazingly diverse and long-lasting cult favorite in the PC racing community, the basis for ISI's success with the F1 license, and the inspiration for the mod-driven game rFactor. Oh, and with the right mods, you could race a motorhome against a Lamborghini or a Chevy Malibu.
This game is awesome because of Forza Race Night. Oh yeah, and some awesome cars and awesome tracks with realistic yet fun driving physics.
This game is awesome because it lets you race Street Stocks. Also, the Modifieds are pretty cool. The NASCAR trucks and cars are good too, but c'mon you guys, Street Stocks.
DiRT 2 has some crazy XTREME SPORTZ style to it, which some people don't like. But it doesn't really bother me, because the rallycross, raid, and trophy truck racing is awesome in this game.
Possibly the greatest NASCAR game ever made. Also awesome because it might be the first racing game with great online play for a large number of players at once.
This is probably still the most realistic rally game despite its age. It can be brutally punishing with realistic damage on, but that just makes it more awesome when you make it through a whole rally intact.
This game is pretty awesome, especially with all the DLC and stuff.
This game is based on the theoretically more awesome PC game Monster Truck Madness 2, but this version is awesome because it has monster truck soccer and because my computer at the time wouldn't run any decent games. I mean, it had Windows 3.1, seriously.
