I'm not 100% sure on how it is with the controller UI, but I'd imagine the active quest list still shows you the race queue notification (it won't be anything but a line of text). You just have to click that, as you would any other quest to have it pop open the details/map location. I'd imagine that since the system is different (you only queue locally, rather than across the data center), it's treating it similar to a leve, minus the fact it's not a quest. They really could use a slightly more friendly approach on it, but it's not that unusual, since the same functionality has always been there for any other queue window.
