The New NASCAR.com?

I never thought I’d say this, but now I’m wishing that we had the old NASCAR.com site back, instead of the new, redesigned one unveiled yesterday.

Ugh. I guess the green nav links at the top are a slight improvement, as far as letting you get to the actual content in a more intuitive way, but the new landing page is pretty hideous. I wouldn’t have thought it possible to make the integration of ads even more annoying and obtrusive, but it seems like they somehow pulled that off.

Part of me grudgingly wants to give them a pass, as we’re not exactly talking about the website for a prominent Web development agency here, but then I remember that there’s little excuse for an orqanization with that kind of cash to throw around not to have a decent, functional website these days, that doesn’t make your eyes weep just to look at it.

Boo.

    I try not to go there, if at all possible. But had an e-mail from them this morning so I checked it out……….I wonder how much subliminal enhancement is incorporated……….maybe I’m just paranoid?
    Peace, Mike.
