The graphics in the game are generally well-received, with many players noting good attention to detail, such as the flexing of car bodies and track moisture effects. While some users mention that the graphics are not groundbreaking and can show pixelation at a distance, overall, they are considered a significant improvement over previous titles in the series. However, a few critiques highlight that the damage visuals and simulation aspects could be enhanced further.
“Game is fun and the graphics are good.”
“It's not a graphical showcase by any means, but there is good attention to detail (e.g., the cars' sheet metal bodies flexing in the wind), and you can tell the moisture of the track (which affects handling) visually.”
“I greatly enjoyed DTR 1 and 2, so this was leaps ahead of those games in terms of graphics and overall gameplay.”
“But the bad graphics, bad audio, and bad gameplay make this a very poor substitute for iRacing.”
“Seeing it was Tony Stewart's game, I assumed there would be a bit more simulation to the game as far as car setup, damage graphics, and AI characteristics, but it fell a little short.”
“Aero gets the most damage, and the car graphics show minimal damage when the aero is hurt.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the return of real songs and a solid selection of tracks, others criticize the limited number of songs and poor audio quality. The announcer's generic lines and the repetitive sound design detract from the overall experience, despite a few standout tracks. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a positive aspect, but it could benefit from more variety and better audio execution.
“Finally, I want to mention the soundtrack.”
“It's good to see them bring back real songs instead of instrumentals like in the sprint car game.”
“There's only 8 songs; however, they're all good choices, including a returning song from NASCAR Heat 2, a couple of other returning artists from NASCAR Heat, and some new ones, all of which are solid.”
“While listening to 3-5 songs (that’s all it can offer!), you will end up turning them off real quick.”
“My only complaint really is a pretty big issue to me: the audio is awful. It saddens me that a game with Tony Stewart's name all over it has three very different classes that all sound exactly alike. This is unacceptable; the announcer has the most generic lines ever spoken, and the music is just dreadful.”
“There is a minor gripe though: one of the songs (Sellout) has explicit lyrics in the chorus.”

“Would also benefit from choose cone mechanics.”

The game's action and audio are highly praised for immersing players in a realistic atmosphere, effectively transporting them to the dirt oval experience, even when playing from a casual setup.
“The action and the audio of the game are done so well that the created atmosphere brings you right onto the dirt oval - even though I play on a kitchen chair with a huge TV and a wheel.”
“Fits the atmosphere perfectly.”
