The new NASCAR.com is live.

New NASCAR.com is live, NASCAR actually controls the site now (in the past it had always been ran by Turner Sports).
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series | NASCAR.com

Thoughts?

it's not bad.... I like the concept but I think it was poorly executed

That's it? The old site was so much simpler. It's now waaay over complicated!

 

[Orian Thompson]

It's not that bad.

That's it? The old site was so much simpler. It's now waaay over complicated!

It was also built off of years-old code which didn't function right half the time. (video filters didn't work half the time and when they did it pulled up the wrong content, never mind the phantom comment pages where an article would have about 150 comment pages and yet only 8 of them had anything on them)

Say what you want about how it works, at least it does now lol

I thought it was supposed to be easier to navigate and find stuff?!

I actually like it. My dad had some connections and had Nascar.com fix some problems with their site a few years ago....good times.

 

[Mystical]

it's not terrible but feels like I have to scroll forever to see everything lol

Its not to bad. Its gonna take along time to get use to the new website.

Windows 8 IE10 don't like it at all. I get a huge blurred out NASCAR logo over the top of everything. Thanks MS, thanks for making it so I can only see the bottom half of the page.

yuck.

Thanks for making me not use NASCAR.com more.

Initial reactions by people regarding change are almost always bad.

You'll get over it!

Oh look. Something else for the Nascar fans to complain about.

Seriously, is it really that bad? In my opinion, no it's not, other than the fact that it needs some more eye candy. It's like the Facebook timeline thing. Everyone will whine and moan about it until a month or so passes then it will be like it never happened.

 

[celticfang]

David at least with FB you can see the entire page and not have a huge logo covering the top half of a laptop screen, which happens in both IE10/Chrome

I haven't liked NASCAR.com the past 3 times they have changed it. I should apply to build a website for them.. Whoever builds their site really has no idea what they're doing. Their pages are always such a mess.

 

[Matt Yeager]

The font and picture size is way too big (scrolling down all the time is boring), and the video filter doesn't work at all (at least the previous one worked half the time...).

Beside that the thing seems good, ot at least not that bad.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

It's not bad. I hate the colors and it lacks spunk and a certain pop. The sizes of everything is wrong. What's up with that head and text size? And then they put their money making links at the very freakin' bottom?!?!

Spot on.

Change is very rarely embraced for whatever reason. Seems like some people (just in general) get used to something, and then when its changed, they're automatically going to complain. And to be honest, in some cases I think they're not even sure exactly what they're complaining about. Its like they're hard-wired to try to find something. But just like anything else, people will get used it, and they'll forget all about the previous layout.

Personally, I think its much more organized than the previous version. Everything on the page is centered top to bottom, and theres less menu links at the top of the page. Before, they had stuff all over the place. Links to the left, links to the right, links in the middle, and a whole bunch of menus on the toolbar.

I kind of like it, to be honest. It's modern, which is what NASCAR needs. But I think it may be too trendy for some fans.

But on the other hand, I think the mobile version is just junk. It's taking a bad approach by throwing all kinds of fun facts into your small screen. And onto of that, the mobile page doesn't elastic scroll, so it's slow and laggy.

Ehh... Close enough :-/
