Reception.
IGN.com said for the PlayStation version: "As they say, fans of the genre are going to love this great new update. All else, stay away". They awarded this version a 7.0 (Good). For the PC version, IGN.com wrote: "Get ready ... there's a left turn coming up". They awarded this version a slightly higher score of 7.2 (Good). For the N64, IGN.com was less impressed: "Stock car racing might be redundant but a videogame shouldn't be". This version only scored a disappointing 6.5 (Okay). Finally, IGN.com reviewed this game one last time with the Game Boy color version: "Not for everybody (and probably shouldn't be for anybody), but THQ's NASCAR runs well on cheap gas". GBC version scored same as the PS version with a 7.0 (Good).
Doug Trueman reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for "Next Generation", rating it two stars out of five: "This would have been a terrific title several years ago, but now it looks and sounds incredibly dated".
