The Bottom Line:

"Disappointing"

Although Nascar 09 could have been better their are some good thing about this game. While in a race your care will turn through the corner and actually stick to one line, their also is a performance points system the you can put the points (earned from races or completing contracts) toward getting your car better a certain track types such as super speedway, speedway, short track, or road coarse. Some of the bad, their are team and sponsor contracts you can sign (sounds good right?) they are only for three to five races then you have to sign again, wich gets boring after the first season in career mode. The ability to adjust your car before each race is still their and you can go further in depth while adjusting your car if you would like. Jeff Gordon serves as a mentor for career mode and is help full when first starting the game but really gets on your nerves as you progress through contracts and further seasons. Online gameplay hasn't changed that much performance is the same but you can race against 14 other drivers in stead or 11 slight improvement.
