NASCAR MOBILE Reviews

this app had an amazing app called RaceView but got rid of it at the end of the 2019 season. Now we are stuck with this lame excuse of a virtual crew chief type experience. We used to have a complete real time experience of time off leader, speed, throttle/brake usage, how much wheel they were putting in and an animated version of the cars going around the track. Now we have an app that hardly gives the race fan any information. Stats are limited to once a lap if you are lucky, sometimes you have to wait 2-3 laps. They do have in car cameras which is cool for the few times your favorite driver has one. Last season they also had a battle cam that gave you live broadcast of action on the race track but these last 2 races they have removed it for some reason. At lease we still have the in car audio to know what’s going with your driver but that’s about all NASCAR is good for. Wish this app allowed their fans to have a voice and improved the racing experience instead of constantly taking away features.

I live in New Jersey a few miles from where this app Driver Martin Truex, Jr is from. I actually had a this app “License” and drove cars at the Wake County (NC) Speedway back when I was at N C State back in the 60s.

When I was a teenager, we all went to Atco Speedway and ran our family cars in the drags. Every once in a while the TV of the day would replay a taped REAL this app race and it was always exciting. Some drivers drove convertibles without roll cages. Many of my friends tease me even today about my penchant of watching this app races but for many of these races, I can feel what the drivers feel and even get into the clutch play and imagining shifting and find that when the broadcast has an in car video and audio live that imagining the rpm changes that come with shifts jive with my own. It is far better than a video game.

I think that your booth story tellers should include more from Danica Patrick, who does wonderful technical discussion of details of the cars, especially about the latest this app race cars, and she is adept at explaining what works and why as well as what does not work and why.

Viewers get a deeper dose of that when Dale Earnhardt, Jr is part of the broadcast. The two of them should part of every my skit this app race.

Thanks for listening.

Needs more interesting and informative articles or videos. Be cool to see more on history of this app as well as Direct information from teams and drives. It help if more top notch sport journalist would get involved and enthusiastic and passionate about this app and would give that good reporting. Tv has done good with Gordon and Earnhardt jr. getting involved. What they bring is real passion to the broadcast. And they help a viewer how many think driving in circles is boring or even stupid learn about how intense it really is. NASCAR needs that. But gives you information about practice and qualifying if your at work or something. And the option to the in car cameras is so cool as well as the scanner access. But pretty dull through week.

I've been a paying subscriber for several years and love being able to hear conversations between driver, crew chief and spotter. That brings a new dimension to TV coverage.
This year however NASCAR works fine for trucks and Xfinity races but when the cup race comes I am unable to connect to paid functions most importantly the scanner, crew chief and leader board features. I have to call and try to convince support that (1) I paid for the entire season and (2) that the problem is real. So far they’ve been able to get me connected but I’ve often missed a number of laps. Often the leaderboard and crew chief screens don’t agree with each other-a bit disconcerting. My plea is please fix the bugs and tell me how to avoid the weekly cup issue because otherwise I still love NASCAR .

NASCAR shuts down all sound on your phone when you open it. So you can’t listen to music or a podcast and also look up something so simple as the this app schedule. Other major news apps don’t do this. Also, it can’t operate on a weak service signal. It won’t even open even when you have some service though one or two bars. Other major apps will still open and you can see what what was there last time you opened it at least. Something like the schedule or results should load natively and you should be able to see it even with little signal. Should be a much more capable app that keeps up with the times like other major news apps do.

It’s nice to know that these reviews are taken seriously. Thanks to all who made the improvements for 2018.

I was one of the biggest critics last year for the endless advertisements in a PAID app (see my last years review below).

You folks have outdone yourselves.

Not only have the ads been removed, the live experience has gotten even better! Radio chatter and in-car cameras are actually slightly AHEAD of the TV broadcast.

I wholeheartedly recommend NASCAR to everyone who considers themselves a this app fan. It truly is the next best thing to being at the track!

Keep up the great work and I’ll be a subscriber for many years to come.

2017 Review

I use the live content for almost every XFINITY & Cup race. Although there's a long delay between TV coverage and driver radio chatter, it is well worth the price.

HOWEVER, the rest of NASCAR content is FRUSTRATING!!! Most other apps remove ads with a couple extra bucks. They charge $25 and STILL force ads with every video clip and put links to additional ads around every screen.

PLEASE remove the ads or I'll skip NASCAR next year.

I love using NASCAR especially during a race but for some reason NASCAR won't load when I press it and all it does is have the loading screen and then it has an error message pop up and says "there was an error upon launching NASCAR . Please try again" and it does that every time so can this get fixed please before the season starts because NASCAR helps me keep track of where my favorite driver's positions are during a race and it also helps me keep track of what lap the race is on and I also use NASCAR for qualifying and the practices too

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX thank you

Update its fixed now 😀

Hi there,

I use NASCAR every weekend. One issue that I would like to see resolved is the use of the battle cam and car cam.

The battle cam is not used enough to show the front runners when they are battling for position. Often times, there is a battle going on at the front of the pack and the battle cam is filming the same cars lap after lap back in 15th place. And what is really disappointing is at the end of the race (the last few laps) the battle cam is not filming the front runners. I can only think that there is no oversight of the Battle Cam position. No controls to ensure that the battle cam is used to capture the best moments of the race.

For the in car cams, it would be better if the cam did not default to the “in-car” view everything time a yellow comes out.

I don’t have time to sit and watch the races on TV very often. As a result, I utilize NASCAR to keep me interested in the this app races. I still feel plugged in by using NASCAR , and still want to watch the races in person. I am planning to go the Texas next week for the race in Dallas and am trying to schedule time to catch a Las Vegas race with my father-in-law.

Please provide a response.

Thank you,

I like the new change making list-type articles vertically scrolling. Much easier to navigate than a slideshow. However in an article like a list of Vegas odds for an upcoming race the page is laggy and super slow to scroll through. These simple pages shouldn’t have that much demand on the phone’s processor or memory

Thanks for the addition of the link to the fantasy section if the site on the in-race leaderboard page. It would be great if tapping that link or the Fantasy link at the bottom of the main page to take you to “Live Race Results” if a race is happening

Also the main page tells you the time of the upcoming race in your time zone. The fantasy page doesn’t

I really miss the Raceview app. This one is ok and has the spotter communication if you pay for the premium. Raceview allowed you to watch your driver in a digital recreation of the race. It was nearly as good as being at the track. You really felt into the race and what your team was doing especially if your driver was not a top ten runner that tv nearly exclusively shows. It also had the telemetry. I never missed watching a race live. After watching the Twin 150 qualifying races, I feel disconnected and disappointed compared to what we had with Raceview.

Little confused on some of the reviews that complain about this app. They never state a word about NASCAR (which is the point of the review). I’ve used NASCAR for a few years now and it’s perfect for those who don’t have or want cable. There’s only one complaint from myself over the few years I’ve used it. If you want to watch in car video but also want to listen to mrn or in car audio you have to battle thru the incar video engine noise. Being able to select the video option you want (car, battle camera, sky camera etc.) and then select the audio you want (mrn radio, car radio, incar etc.)would make NASCAR a five star.

I’m looking for more Individual team stats. Average pitstop times for each team, what grooves certain drivers are more successful in, average entrance speeds and braking distances at certain turns, etc. I want more ways to differentiate drivers and team tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. Also I am thirsty for a more robust explanation of strategy. I want to really know what goes into an epic pass during the laps leading up to it. It’s so much more than just “Ope I took 4 tires I can go faster.” I want to hear from the best in more depth about real strategy, past just fuel and tire strategy. Also from an app standpoint it’s annoying when a video fails and I have to watch the commercial again. It’s like I’m subtly being robbed of my time for your profit. If the video fails then the next time should be ad-free.

NASCAR itself is very informative. This review is on the radio scanner. Two improvements: 1) When choosing “All Scan”, I can’t see who is on the radio. I have to go off of the spotter’s call-outs of the car numbers to get a clue who it is. 2) The scanner is about 30-40 seconds ahead of the TV broadcast. This makes it even more difficult to follow live with the race when watching on TV. It’s useful during commercial breaks and pit stops, but that’s about it. I turn it off as the race is winding down. Not worth the $$ in my opinion, but I’m glad this option still exists.

But that's pretty much all we have their videos that they have on their website are pretty lame as well their schedule and results are always behind fox is always ahead of this app themselves which is pathetic that other networks get it more right than this app does Plus there's always a lot of stuff at this app does not have on NASCAR for instance in the standings why can’t i see each driver s points I have to go on Fox or ESPN to get that!!!! And also this app is always late!!!!
I guess this and I will never get better I can’t even find tracks to see what type of trac

After being a this app fan as long as I remember and only missing 2 television races in the last 20 years I am blocking all of my nbc channels because of their treatment of the Independence Day celebration by our government. I am going to miss the races but NBC is too far of a trip for me to take anymore. I called NBC directly and they basically told me good riddance. I am encouraging all (and all is over 30) of my family and friends to do the same and encourage others. I have received very positive feedback. I wish you well and encourage this app to remove itself from NBC.

Wonderful app, but I do see one glaring issue. As a die hard this app fan, I have several different favorite drivers and love the new feature where you can add as many favorites as you want, but a lot of drivers, such as Jeffrey Earnhardt in MENCS as well as Vinnie Miller and BJ McLeod in Xfinity, are not available in the drivers menu so you cannot add them as favorites. This is disappointing as those three and some others are among my favorite drivers, so I would like to see all drivers, including the part time ones, added to the drivers tab please.

I have watched and loved this app as long as I can remember, and continue to for the most part. That said, it’s upsetting to me that the sport has gotten into political BS and created a double standard for the one driver of the 43 car. Wallace mocked another competitors religious views on national television and was not punished in any way while Larson was kicked out for something he said that was supposed to be in a private setting. If these kinds of things continue It will be the end of this app for me and my family.

1. Please add a section that includes the entire weekends TV schedule for all 3 series. It's frustrating having to switch between series just to see each schedule.
2. Have an actually current up to date chase grid bracket for each division. It’s extremely convoluted just going into the point standings and seeing what place they’re in. Literally no information on the playoffs (cutoff lines, what races are next in this section of playoffs etc.) having the entire Playoff bracket would solve this but needs to be kept up to date.
3. Excessive adds!!! An add here or there is fine but not being able to open NASCAR without Toyota adds or adds before every single video plays is excessive.

The changes made to the this app app that I
Pay for are terrible. One of the main things I
Want in NASCAR is the incar radio and the crew chief. You have taken away the crew chief from the new app and put in a spot
Where we get kind of play by play during the race which is useless!!! Please bring back the crew chief on NASCAR. We pay a lot of money for this feature and everyone I have spoken to wants it back. It had real time data
Of how far ahead or behind the driver was and now all we have is the leader board which doesn’t update until the leader goes past the start/finish line. I hope you really listen to the people that pay for NASCAR!!!!! If this is the way you are keeping NASCAR I definitely will not be buying it next year!!!!!!

We have watched this app for many years; there are many things that bother both of us. The first is the short amount of time that is given to the Military Flyover! We are lucky to get a glimpse of these important F16‘s, the Stealths or various other Planes for 5 seconds! It makes us so angry that they are not given at least a minute of airtime. The second problem is Jeff Burton AND Steve LaTarte! They NEVER shut up and are CONSTANTLY talking so much that we have to watch the race with our tv MUTED! Please tell them that MANY fans are irritated with them and are changing the channel! Number three: We have tuned in to watch Racing for a reason; we DO NOT CARE about whose relatives ran the NYC Marathon, Football or Basketball News, the Olympics, Hockey, Curling, Tour de France, who golfed with whom, etc. Number four: Keep the rules constant or someone will be killed because of it. Every driver should be penalized the same! Not a slap on the hand for some and a hefty fine and penalty for others! Thank you for letting me vent.

Been a a fan of WoodBrothers since Cale Yarborough drove for them. Big Bill Elliott fan. this app has been my one constant safe all consuming obsession since late 1968. Now I’m a fan of all forms of auto racing. this app fields are deep with potential winners every race. All touring series of this app have the most consistent close racing with a wide variety of who and how different drivers may win from week to week. I am still a Ford man, but cheer 1st and foremost for a great race admiring the skill, strategy, and even luck that puts a team in winners circle.

NASCAR was a little difficult to navigate through and I had trouble finding things. I was at the Dover race and forgot my scanner and decided to pay extra for the “premium package” subscription. Once I finally found where to go to listen to the extras, my phone couldn’t connect to the network. Not sure if it was an app issue or a Dover Speedway issue. Either way, I wasted money and now I’m worried that I won’t be able to figure out how to cancel my subscription so I won’t be automatically charged for something I’m not going to use. Although, I must say that I did like the notification section, since I had no radio, it kept me a little more up to date.

I don’t know what the deal is, but I’ve been a premium subscriber for several years and NASCAR has always worked well and even improved over time. However for some reason this year, the “Live” feature & race center (premium) doesn’t display. Couldn’t listen to the scanner, called in (after going trough several hoops just to find a contact number) and they said to uninstall/reinstall app, which I did, then it finally worked. But this weekend same thing again, doesn’t work. Maybe I’ll just reinstall and forget about it all together and save the $30 next season as I’m sure there will be no refund for this year. If the developer really does care and read this - What’s the dealio bud?
