Reception.
Jim Preston reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for "Next Generation", rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "it lacks the complete details to be the best, but it's still an accurate and fun way to drive fast and to the left".
The PC version of the game was well-received as IGN.com wrote that "MGI aims an uppercut at Papyrus' NASCAR throne and connects, doing serious damage!" They awarded the game a score of 9.0 (Amazing). The PS version did well enough, but not as well as the PC version scoring an 8.0 (Great). For the PS version, IGN.com said: "This surprisingly good racing game packs quite a bit of punch in terms of play modes and crazy fun".
GameSpot summarised for the PC version in that ""NASCAR Heat" offers a brutally honest driving experience, but with simplistic damage modeling". It received a score of 7.5 (Good). For the GBC version: "If you've ever wondered what Micro Machines would be like with NASCAR drivers, Majesco's "NASCAR Heat" is the answer". This version score is a 6.8 (Fair). Finally, the PS iteration of the game didn't fare too well, as they stated that ""NASCAR Heat" isn't quite the all-encompassing racing simulation that Electronic Arts' "NASCAR 2001" is, but features like the beat the heat mode make the game worthwhile for any NASCAR fan". PS version's score is 5.2 (Mediocre).
