Next Generation4/5 stars[6]

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "In the end, NASCAR 99 isn't going to win any converts from GT, but it is sure to please those looking for a good stock car challenge. While not a huge improvement over NASCAR 98, it is a better game, and makes it a worthy upgrade if only for the Dual Shock support."[6]

NASCAR '99 received mixed reviews upon its release.[7] The game was praised for its authenticity, although critics felt that the graphics and sound effects were not improved from the previous game, NASCAR '98. Also, critics stated that the player would become "tired" of the game if they were a "racing-game fan."[4]
