The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2] GameSpot said, "Even with all of Dirt Track Racing's finer points, it's hard to overlook its repetitive tracks and racing events."[5] IGN was positive, saying, "Ratbag proves once again that they are the Kings of racing sims, even the bargain brand."[7]
The game won Computer Games Strategy Plus' 1999 "Racing Game of the Year" award. The editors wrote, "It humbles more expensive products with over 30 tracks and dozens of cars, excellent physics ... and plenty of tuning options."[10]
