I didn't know it was possible but they made it worse!

It's one of the sites where I try never to read the "Comments" at the bottom - but I have noticed that virtually every article is followed by comments to get the site back to how it was!

Somebody suggested - and it sounds quite likely - that it's been redesigned to make it easier to read on a smartphone, at the expense of everyone else. On the computer at work it's unreadable on Internet Explorer (the British taxpayer will be glad to know that HM Government only provides IE6, rather than upgrading to a 21st century version); fortunately Mozilla gets it to work properly. Not anywhere near as user-friendly as it was though.

I can't believe it either, but it is much worse, the racing is a joke.

Similar thing happened to the BBC sports pages a while back, I suspect to make it easier on phones and tablets. Looks a hideous mess on a normal laptop.

I very rarely went to nascar.com in the past, but I agree the new site is just terrible. I can't find anything I'm looking for. I mostly relied on Jayski.com or racing-reference.info for stats any how.

Yeah the new site is an abomination. I find it interesting that the comments section at the bottom of all the articles has been down due to a "technical issue" since Thursday during the Duels. Every article had comments blasting the new site. Heck, I am paying $80 a year for Raceview and that didn't even work for the Unlimited, nor the Duels, and it wasn't working at the start of the 500 either. Then Nascar.com sent us paying customers a seperate link to bypass all the regular ways to get in and it worked like a champ then.

They definitely have some issues to be sorted out, that is for sure.

Finally found Race Rewind in order to play the Daytona 500 highlights. They've hidden that well...
