THE "BUZZ"
What The Media Is Saying

"Whether you’re a closet stock-car race driver or simply looking to boost your adrenaline count by a couple hundred percent, a visit to a new NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway center is just the right prescription. This is no tarted-up video game. It’s a virtual 200-mph thrill ride - with the howling audio assault and in-car sensation of actual on-track combat and the white-knuckling challenge of negotiating 24-degree banks while working through a swarm of hungry competitors, many as alive and determined as you are. NSMS is about as close you can come to banging doors with Rusty Wallace and company without a racing license and generous sponsors."
- Motor Trend Magazine

"For you wannabe stock car drivers, the NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway is one heart-pounder. You’ll scream, swear, clench your eyes, grit your teeth. You’ll screech when you ram other racers and duck as your car slams the wall. And then you’ll feel a bit foolish when you climb out of your car and realize you worked up a sweat in a six-minute race that was all make believe."
- AutoWeek Magazine

"Just like a good amusement park ride, it can get you screaming and leave you soaked with sweat. Just like a good video game, it’s an easy concept to grab for the beginner but rewards serious players with increasing sophistication and almost endless variations.
