Head to the starting line and rev up your engines, we’re off to a flying start with NASCAR Arcade Rush and it’s time to dive in to the new arcade racer from GameMill entertainment to see if this high-action twist on the American past-time of driving round in circles, makes for an entertaining arcade game for 2023.
Rife with problems, lack of content, and bad controls, this is somehow a NASCAR game with hardly any worthwhile NASCAR in it — and should be avoided.
"NASCAR Arcade Rush repackages NASCAR with a Mario Kart slant but a lack of variety, shallow gameplay, and half-baked systems hold it back."

Games Asylum: "It’s a good idea: an arcade racer based on NASCAR. And there are other good ideas: hugely exaggerated tracks based on real locations; over-the-top vehicle and driver options; a neat boost system. But that’s all superficial, and what’s underneath is basic, bland, and borderline boring."
