The NASCAR Deluxe Speedway Track Set features a head-to-head battle between the Jeff Gordon Number 24 car and the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Number 88 car. With a pit-stop recharger that refuels the cars and over 16 feet of flexible track, this speedway set is sure to provide lots of fun for kids ages five and up.

Cars race side-by-side up high-banked turns. View larger.

Players recharge their car at the pit stop to continue racing. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: NASCAR replicas offer fast paced entertainment The Bad: Setting up the flexible track is a bit tricky In a Nutshell: The NASCAR Deluxe Speedway Track Set provides a fun head-to-head racing experience At a Glance Ages: 5 and up Requires: 2 or 4 D cell batteries

Getting Ready for the Races
Before the race cars can get rolling, you'll need to assemble the track. The instructions recommend shaping each piece by rolling it and pushing the walls so they stand straight up, and it's worth taking the time to do this because it helps keep cars on track as you start racing.

Snapping the pieces together to make the 180 degree curves is pretty simple. The tricky part of setup is getting the flexible straightaways to connect evenly, but you'll want to be patient and do it well, since having a smooth surface to compete on makes races a lot more fun.

The pit stop recharger is a fun, unique way to keep cars charged. You can put either two or four D cell batteries in it. Using four batteries lets each race car run longer on a single charge. To get your car ready, simply insert the recharger's nozzle into the intake pipe on your car and press down on the top of the charger.

Start Your Engines!
Once the track is set and the cars are charged, all it takes is the flick of switch to start the action. Each car has a convenient on-off switch on the bottom, just behind the rear wheels. Just like real NASCAR racers, once these cars are moving, they don't want to stop. This means that if a bump sends them off the track they're likely to end up flying across your floor or spinning their wheels in the carpet. Since assembling the track smoothly was a bit tricky, we often had to chase down a few renegade cars. However, we also discovered that these durable little cars are incredibly fun to play with on their own without the track.

The Real NASCAR Speedway Experience
The detail on these race cars is sure to impress serious NASCAR enthusiasts, down to the Goodyear logos on the tires. Young racers will pit the popular drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon against each other again and again in an ultimate championship series. Even the hum the cars make when running mimics a real race. But don't worry -- they're not too loud.

With quick little motors and durable bodies, these cars zoom around the track and easily survive crashes. The big track offers super sized fun, even though keeping the connections smooth occasionally gets tricky, and it's easy to keep the racers charged. Overall, these toy cars do a good job of bringing home the action packed competition that makes NASCAR the top spectator sport in the U. S.

What's in the Box
Two race cars, one pit box charger, six curved track pieces, six straight track pieces, and eight connector pieces.

1.0 out of 5 stars very disappointing, September 6, 2008

By	Mom of three (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

My son received this as a gift for his 5th birthday. Looks fun, however was very difficult putting tracks together. The connectors don't stay snapped together. The tracks did not fit together well and one would come apart while connecting the other. Very frustrating. My son is playing with it right now, and complaining that it is coming apart. The cars also keep coming off the track into the center. Not worth the purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, October 11, 2008

By	gordonfan24 "gordonfan24" (NE Georgia) - See all my reviews

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

Purchased this race track for my son's 10th birthday. The Jeff Gordon car worked well the first time it was charged but never again. The Dale Jr. car never worked. We even changed the batteries thinking that charging the car the first time drained them. Not the case. The car just did not work. Wish we would have looked at the reviews on several websites before purchasing toy. Seems everyone else has had the same problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars track is very disappointing, December 26, 2008

By	Kevin G. Kvasnicka "frustrated Dad" (Nebraska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

My son loves this track but what a frustrating toy! The track does not snap together well at all. Fought with it for over 2 hours before being able to race one race. Then you have to put it back together again because it comes apart. Cars are OK. We will probably keep the cars and pitch the track if I am not able to "rebuild" it with some screws or pop rivits to hold the junk together. Do not recommend this set.
