NASCAR 2011...XBOX 360 question

[bvar22]

I am primarily a FPS, single player only, PC based gamer.
I've also been through and really enjoy all the GTAs.

Most of my gaming life, I have used the PC Keyboard & Mouse.
Last year, my wife bought me an XBOX 360 with GTA4.
I transitioned to the XBOX and controller without much difficulty.

I am also a dedicated NASCAR fan from the early 50s.
I never miss a race (on TV) if possible, though I haven't attended one in person for over 25 years.
My wife is a converted ethusiast, and now watches NASCAR with me.

A couple of weeks ago, my wife bought me NASCAR 2011 for XBOX360.
I've been messing with it lately, and am beginning to really enjoy it.
I'll find out where NASCAR will be running on the weekend,
and then spend the week racing at the next track on the XBOX.
It really has added another dimension to my enjoyment of NASCAR.


My XBOX controller is very twitchy in NASCAR 2011.
I find it difficult to hold a line.
I've looked for a game setting that lets me reduce the sensitivity of the controller,
but haven't found one.

The Question:
Would one of those XBOX Steering Wheels help?
Does anybody here have one?
