Step 2 - Edit your Player.ini
Open your Player.ini file with Notepad. This file is located at...
"C:\Papyrus\NASCAR Racing 2003 Season\players\YourName"
and edit the following lines under the header [Graphic Options]
enable_CarMegaShader=1 ; set to 1 to enable advanced shaders where applicable
enable_ShadowVolumes=1 ; set to 1 to enable shadow volumes
texture_quality=100 ; texture quality [0..100], -1 for auto
Most of the remaining lines will be changed by your input in the In-game menu as you set them to your desired level.
P.S. Changing the line "on_car_shadow_method=" to a 1 will provide more realistic shadows at the cost of ALOT of frames. For some reason changing anything in the in-game settings resets this line so I suggest doing this part last.

Step 3 - Installing Reshade
Reshade is a post-process effect injector. This basically means once your game draws a frame to the screen this program applies filters to the image to your desire. The results are basically real-time. Here is a look at the before and after the installation.
The installation for this is a longer process than most things on this site but it is definitely worth looking in to... You can find the guide written by myself here.

Congratulations!
The game is now looking almost like it wasn't made in 2003...almost!
