Who payed the critics

Really Surprised!

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I have read a lot of what I feel are unnecessarily negative reviews about this show. It was a fast-paced, action-packed children's cartoon involving futuristic gadget-filled cars -- not an animated version of real NASCAR racing. Yes, the NASCAR Unlimited Series racing in the show is very much reminiscent of the old Speed Racer cartoons and the current Hot Wheels Accelerators series. The NASCAR name is there because the show was used by NASCAR as a marketing tool -- a way to attract young fans to the sport and sell more merchandise to all of the little beggars' parents, just like Accelerators is just a big ploy by Mattel to sell more Hot Wheels cars and accessories. That doesn't mean either are bad shows if viewed in the right context.I personally believe that for the most part, the two seasons of NASCAR Racers that were produced contain a lot better plot lines than either Speed Racer or Hot Wheels Accelerators -- including some ongoing themes targeted at a more adult audience (such as Megan Fassler's search for her birth mother and Carlos Rey's financial difficulties in caring for his ailing father). However, whereas both of those two series have been released on DVD, you can only find a half-dozen or so episodes of NASCAR Racers on VHS -- and that's a real shame, as is snubbing NASCAR Racers simply because it's not real NASCAR. There's already plenty of that on the air every week with all the associated interview and commentary shows. I think NASCAR rightly calculated that a reality-based animated series probably wouldn't attract the audience they were targeting.

I am not a racing fan, but I love this series! The characters all have unique personalities and great detail (except for lack of mentions of their ages or dates of birth). I really love the girls! My favorite character is Megan "Spitfire" Fassler. The futuristic cars are awesome. I suggest you watch this series. Even if you're not a racing fan, you'll love "NASCAR Racers"!

This show is so awful, and it's a shame to share the name NASCAR with this show and real NASCAR teams and fans. NASCAR (as the creator of this show must not know) stands for National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing. I don't know what the hell it's supposed to stand for in this show. Except for maybe that they drive cars, if you can call those flying machines cars, it has nothing in common at all with NASCAR. It's an insult to NASCAR and an example of the greed in sports today that this show ever saw the light of day. It's like a really bad episode of the old Speed Racer, transformers, and the power rangers. I hope no kids watching this think that NASCAR racing is anything like this stupid show.

NASCAR Racers is a great show, capturing the drama of racing and has some great action. The show has high-tech cars, much unlike our present racing cars. The cars can fly, shed the outer body, and a flying machine is left after the outer body sheds. Oh, I forgot, they're computer animated. That's where the flaws come in. The cars look great in their computer animated style, but when the pencil animation comes in contact with the computer animation, it looks so cheesy. For example, on the "NASCAR Racers: The Movie" (the premiere of the show), when Sunts runs on top of Charger's car, it looks as if he's floating above the car in a cheesy version of "Star Wars". But, all in all, this show is great. It shouldn't be missed by NASCAR fans and action fans.
