Will it run it? Sure, how good, that depends completely on you. The minimum requirements of the game are just that, the minimum. So if all the settings are down then obviously the MBP would have no problem, but on its highest settings depending on how demanding the game is, who knows? Also you have a 27". This will hurt you in a way because of its very high resolution. the higher the resolution the more taxing a game is on a GPU and the 27" has one of the highest resolutions available.

Well it's not really a demanding game, it's based on NASCAR 2003, so it's an "old" game just a bit polished graphics since then. It's a simulation not a graphic monster

Well I'm playing all on HIGH on my HP laptop which has 1080p resolution. and it has i7Q920M in it and 4GB and a mobile GPU.

Well from the Specs the MBP is way faster as my HP but i think it will loose some performance by using Bootroom and the High Resolution on the Cinema Display :S
