NASCAR.com Apologizes For RaceView Issues

NASCAR.com sent an email apology to customers this week, after many subscribers were unable to utilize the website’s NASCAR Raceview technology throughout Speedweeks 2013.

“We at NASCAR.com acknowledge the continuing access and performance issues associated with RaceView Premium for PC and RaceView Audio for PC,” said the email. “Prior to the Daytona 500, we attempted to implement several technical solutions in order to provide a working product. While many subscribers were able to successfully enjoy RaceView during the race, we understand there were many who continued to have problems.
“NASCAR.com is not satisfied with RaceView at this point in time. We are examining the entire process and technical operation, and plan to communicate additional information on RaceView as we head into Sunday's Sprint Cup Race at Phoenix.
"We regret if these issues impacted your enjoyment of the Daytona 500 and are working hard to make sure all Raceview Premium and Raceview Audio for PC technical issues are worked out. If you have any questions about your subscription or need assistance, please visit our customer support center.
"Thank you for your patience."

    Dave, I find the entire nascar.com site practically unusable. I thought that once Turner was done, we would have a real website. guess not

    I absoluitely hate the new NASCAR.com website. In fact, I have taken it off my computer and smartphone. There is an old saying:"If it aint broke, don't fix it." I have heard a lot of people say they don't like it either. Go back to the old one, please.

    I totally agree with the fact that the new NASCAR.com is useless at the moment...

    The new website is a mess. Slow to load and it seems like there is less content. The scanner issue was another disaster. Wouldn't you test it out better before releasing to use for the Daytona 500?

    I also agree that the entire NASCAR website is useless. You can't find anything and I like to print the weekend schedule, but you can't do that. What a mess!

    The website is horrible and so is the app. I wasted 30 bucks on that mess.

  9. Nascar.com is a mess right now. I know it's a new look and there will be a few glitches here and there. but its beyond that. The layout is terrible at best and like everyone else is saying..slow loading on my broadband Internet connection using a 2.8 gig processor with 2 gigs of ram..the site is sluggish at best!

    Raceview was no better this week (week 2). Maybe they should find a 5th grader that knows how to write a website. There is not much of an excuses for such a poor start. Obviously they did not test the site very well or understand technology.

    I couldn't access the Audio yesterday. Tried and tried. Probably spent half the race troubleshooting. Gave up so I could at least watch the end.

    The 2013 version of NASCAR.com is even worse than the 2012 version. I've gone from visiting NASCAR.com nearly every day to hardly at all. NASCAR should fine itself for "actions detrimental to NASCAR".

    Las Vegas Nationwide is on and the stupid Audio is still not working. What is wrong with these people? NASCAR.com used to be such a cool website. What did they do, turn it over to a high school computer class? FIX IT, PLEASE

    Last August I paid $29.95 for scanner. Received email no charge for 2013. Worked for Daytona because Raceview Premium free. Tried to launch Raceview Audio for Phoenix and Las Vegas and it would not work. Set emails and phone calls to Tech Support. No response. Out of curiosity upgraded to Raceview Premium and Raceview Audio worked except for buffering virtual video of cars on track. Called Tech Support today 3/12 and no help received. Will try this weekend and if I still cannot launch Raceview Audio only I am going to cancel everything and ask for my $29.95 paid in August 2012 to be refunded. This is a mess and they are overwhelmed and not capable of solving many, many fans' issues with their new product. Recommend no one buy this product at this point in time.

  16. Barbara: same problems exactly. Tech services has been helpful, but my problem is still not resolved.

    Seven races now I still have not gotten the audio. Tech can not fix it or tell me why. If NASCAR was truly fan friendly they would have resolved this problem after Daytona.

    Glad to find out that it's not just me. I thought I must be an idiot. It is hard to believe that NASCAR with all of its issues losing fans in the past few years would allow this to continue week after week.

    Been a Nascar fan since the late 50's,, no more they can not even run a web site, let alone a racing org. All they know how to do now is fine their own and make more money,, it will not last much longer with this attitude...

  21. Nice of them to offer free raceview today. To bad all you can see are the gauges working. No audio, no video. I feel sorry for you that pay for it. I'll no doubt NOT be subscribing to it.
