I'm still playing NR2003. :P
Check out my favourites below and see if something interests you:
_Grand Prix Legends (hardcore F1 1967 sim; there are also many other excellent mods to recreate '55, '65, 66, 68, 69 seasons as well as hundreds of add-on tracks etc.; regarding add-on tracks, i can help you filter the most enjoyable of them but the vanilla ones will take you a very long time to master anyway, especially nurburgring)
_Nascar Racing 2003 Season (play it again! edit: also, forgot to mention the excellent GTP mod)
_Richard Burns Rally
_GTR 2 (try vanilla first, if you find the physics somewhat weird, give the "Reborn" mod a try; there are also several good mods for this too; the reason why i recommend GTR 2 over rFactor, is the more "complete" package for single player use if you don't intent to use mods; you may consider rFactor for online racing)
_Power & Glory 3 (exceptional classic cars mod overhaul for GTR 2 -- click here to download: [url=https://gtlw.000webhostapp.com/)https://gtlw.000webhostapp.com/)[/i[/url]]
_Viper Racing (great arcade/sim game with a nice career mode; it had great physics & damage model for it's time and i still find it enjoyable due to the overall fun factor; also, i was a modder baaaaaack then and i used to create new cars from scratch or convert 3D car models from other racing games of that period for use with VR, good times! :P)
As for arcade racing games, even though i'm not very big on them, i recently had a lot of fun with FlatOut (you don't really need a steering wheel for that though).
Regarding Nascar racing games, not much has changed since then and NR2003 is still the best offline NASCAR game (for online, you may want to go with iRacing), at least if you're into simulations. For arcade NASCAR games, any of the recent EA games will do the trick, i guess.
ps. let's put a nice video here: https://youtu.be/FdYEczW9Ev8 ;)

tungdo: I recently recalled that I had an old steering wheel with pedals back at my parent's place, so I picked it up but problem is that I have no idea which games that would work with it. The last game I played with it was NASCAR 2003 and that was a while ago :P
So give me suggestions of games! They don't have to be on GOG, they can be on Steam or elsewhere.

I don't have a wheel but if I did..
Richard Burns Rally!
As far as arcade racing games go, FlatOut (and to an extent, FlatOut 2) seem to have surprisingly good physics and you can beat both games by driving well rather than playing it like it's destruction derby.

I miss the old cabinets like Pole Position. Yeah they games themselves haven't aged well, but those damn things were so cool, especially when played in a real life packed arcade.

This is a good place to remind myself of the steering wheel and pedals in my basement, which I've never used for any games (or anything else for that matter, like as a sex toy). I recall they cost quite a lot at the time.
I bought them many many years ago, back when I was quite interested in "serious" racing games. The selling point for that set was that it could be used both on PC and PS2/PSOne, so I was thinking it would be great for playing some Gran Turismo games on Playstation 1-2, and e.g. Grand Prix Legends on PC.
For some reason, I never got to actually set up the damn thing. It just felt so much work trying to get enough room for it either on my PC desk, or in front of the TV where the PS2 was, and then figure out how to make it work properly at least on PC (I presume it would have been plug'n'play on PS2).
Moreover, I recall reading some Grand Prix Legends veteran writing on the internets how (negatively) surprised he was he started getting better lap times on GP Legends when he ditched his high-end steering wheel/pedals, and played with a joystick instead. So maybe I felt that while the set might give a more authentic feel to racing games, it would also mean worse lap times. :D

GPL veteran here; what you've read is true, because driving the beasts with a steering wheel set requires not only physical strength and speed (you're going from lock to lock all the time to keep the car on the road at it's limit) but also a lot of endurance. You'll manage for a couple of laps, but good luck if you're in need of constant performance throughout a whole race or even just one hotlap @ nurburgring. From personal experience: GPL + Logitech G25 = biggers biceps = stronger hands = goodbye to the H shifter because it definitely wasn't made to withstand such abuse. :D Having said that, did you know that even Papyrus recorded those hotlap replays that GPL is shipped with with a joystick? We talk about blazing fast performance that a GPL newbie will need A LOT of practice to go negative in GPLRank.

First, how old are we talking? Since you've mentioned NASCAR2003, I reckon it's USB, (gameport disappeared by early 2000s). So give me suggestions of games! They don't have to be on GOG, they can be on Steam or elsewhere.
I agree with the earlier posts, Flatout 1 & 2 are great fun.
Also recommend: Screamer 1 & 2, POD, Wacky Wheels, World Rally Fever
& of course for kicks try some of the older FPS games (Doom, Wolf3d, Duke3d, Quake, RiseOfTheTriad:DarkWar, Blake Stone,...).

Since the old Alone in the Dark (as well as Resident Evil and Silent Hill) games were accused of having tank or truck controls, I'd love to hear how they play with a steering wheel.
