Do you use race view and what do you think of it?

I think it is something Nascar want's you to pay for.

Like anything and everything these days, you have to pay.

NASCAR.com has NASCAR RACE View.

During the race it has several screens which display a lot of different info.
Cup Standings
Race standings
MPH Speedometer
RPM Meter
You can choose any driver, it shows their photo and short bio.
Track info - length of straight aways, angle of corner etc.
Then there is a screen that will show the driver of your choice and 1 of 3 different angles of that driver's car. Actually it's a computer graphic of the race which I think is closer to real time than the TV. I'd watch on my computer a car pull out from the pit, then a couple seconds later it would show the car pull out from the pit on TV.

Also, no commercials, while the commercials are playing on TV I continue to watch the race on my computer.

Over all I wouldn't say it's a substitute for watching it on TV but it does give you a lot of real time info on any driver on the track during the race.

If you haven't tried it I think they offer 2 weeks free trial. You'd have to check NASCAR.com though.

I had a working girl come up to my car the other night and tell me the same thing. Come to think of it, she kind of reminded me of NA$CAR.

Let me guess Bob,

Obviously there are people paying for this in car view thing or it would have ceased long ago. I did it once when it was a free trial thing. It's delayed so it didn't really add to what I was watching. I suppose it is OK if you are on a ship somewhere but then again if I happen to be on a Caribbean cruise I may forget my love of NASCAR for that week.

Nope! NASCAR gets enough money as it is ... though I don't really understand where the money from "Race View/Track Pass" goes. Probably to pay those garish web designers who support that horrid NASCAR.com site.

BTW: Did anyone else see one of the pre-race shows where one of the commentators was talking about one of the silly subjects of late, and stated that NASCAR needs more money? I think it was Spencer who said it, but I'm not sure.

I didn't see that, but I did hear Brad Daughterty say Jeff Gordon was one of the top two drivers in NASCAR history on the ABC pre-race show. Rusty Wallace quickly disagreed with him, which ended the conversation right there.

I saw that too. There were a lot of over-the-top comments on many shows leading up to the race yesterday. Lots of Chase hype. Lots of disagreements.

I use LiveLeaderBoard (on the homepage for NASCAR.COM) cause it's free and tells me everything I need to know about position, speeds, etc. .. tho it doesn't tell me when a car pits, crashes or blows up, nor does it tell me why a car is out of the race. and I can track as many drivers as I want, each in their own little window (providing my PC has enough horsepower to manage 30+ windows )
