Looking at the Nascar Heat 4 achievement list, it looks like you could score some easy Gamerscore over the weekend —especially at the beginning of the game. Contra: Rogue Corps achievements look slightly tougher, but it looks like most of the earlier/easier achievements are clocking in at around 15G and 30G.
The Xbox Live Free Play Days event is live now, so you can download both of these games and play them for free up until Monday. The titles are currently discounted, and as always, all progress (including achievements) will carry over if you decide to make a purchase.
