How to open up an *.exe file?

I have been having a lot of fun (lol, just realized what I wrote :) ) with the game Racer. I have dl'ed some cars, and one other track. Cars were zip files and hence no prob to unfold. However, the track is an exe file and I'm not sure how to get at the files/program in my Linux boxen. Been using Linux for just under 3 years and .exe files haven't really been an issue untll now. Is it possible to use .exe files in a Linux box? TIA, Curtis
