My eyes! My eyes!

That was my first impression when I clicked on the new-and-maybe-improved NASCAR.com site.

The NASCAR.com site, like most sports league sites (especially this one but not so much this one, which always to me been easy to get around on.), is busybusybusy. But once my eyes stopped spinning, I realized that most everything that used to be there is still there and in more or less the same place. The new look is just, I dunno, shinier? More 2003 than 1997?

If there was a Web site that needed overhaulin', NASCAR.com was it. It'll just take a little while to get use to.

Call me old school, but my favorite racing site on the net is still this one. If the Internet had existed in 1965, this is how it would have looked.

So anyone try out the new NASCAR.com site? Thoughts?

yeah the new site is a bit nasty, hard to see and read and won't work with everyone's computer .. oh well

That's a good point. I've got an older, but decent, PC at work and a smokin' fast one at home. (If Ricky Bobby had that a PC, mine would be his Busch car.) And the new site seems to work fine on both. But I haven't tried with Home PC No. 2, which is close to becoming an antique.

Anyone on dialup trying to get on? Anyone with a Pentium III?

at first glance it gave me a shock... it's formatted to appear like Win.Vista. I'm getting used to it now and find it ok at best
