Best NASCAR game on consoles?

[prbobo]

So I've been playing NASCAR 06 Total Team Control for awhile now on my regular Xbox. I own a 360 and PS3 but the reviews for NASCAR games since 06 have been average at best. 06 is getting old (literally), so if I wanted to grab a game for my 360/PS3 is NASCAR 09 the best or is one of the NASCAR: The Game versions better? Both of "The Game" releases have average reviews, but I am curious what you guys think.

Personally, I think NASCAR the Game Inside Line is the best on PS3 and 360, but that's like selecting something that's average at best. I didn't play NASCAR 08. NASCAR 09 offline racing wasn't for me. The Game 11 was okay as well as Inside Line.

Best options for NASCAR right now for modern stuff is NASCAR Heat, which can be downloaded for free legally, but only for mods, and NR2003, which I personally don't like.

Yeah, this generation's console nascar offerings aren't exactly stellar--play them long enough and you'll most likely find something that drives you crazy.

IMHO, the best nascar games out there are Nascar Racing 2003 on the PC (with a mod update), and (believe it or not), Dirt to Daytona on the PS2.

Agree- NTG inside line - but it's far from perfect.

I still play Thunder 2003 when I pull out my Xbox, but that is rare these days.

1st NASCAR Thunder 2004
2nd NASCAR 06: Total Team Control
3rd NASCAR Dirt to Daytona
4th NASCAR 2005 Chase for the Cup

I believe that one is compatible with XBox360 as is NASCAR 2006, correct?

I use PS3, so no clue.
