Hints & Tips

Get pole position
Before you run a veteran race in quick race mode, take the Thunder license and finish all three levels of the test for the wanted track. This will give you the first (pole) starting position.

Daytona: Easier win
Just make sure the race is set on ten percent race length. Then, cause a crash on lap four. If done right, there should be a caution.Then go into the pits, and ignore the fact if no one else also goes in. You will probably be last, but there will soon be another caution and the leaders will thencome in. Stay out and do not pit. After the stop, you should be in first or second place. You will run low on gas, but you will not run out. Block and you will be able to win the race.

At Daytona in career mode in the Datona 500, when you pit instead of taking four tires or right side tires, take on left side tires and just enough fuel to make it to the finish. You should come out of the pits in first place, providing that you came in first or close to it.

Easy win
Make sure every race is set on ten percent race length.Then drive into the grass and spin out on lap four, rather than crashing. This way, your car is not damaged and you are better able to draft. It will also work on lap 7 of all 26 lap races under the 10 percent setting, and on lap 12 or 13 of 39 to 40 lap races.

Easy paint schemes
Use this  trick to access your favorite driver's paint schemes easier. First, set the difficulty level to veteran or legend. Then, set the length to 3%. Turn on unlimited tires and fuel and turn off the damage. Go into quick race and choose the driver whose paint scheme you want to have. Choose Daytona Night (Pepsi 400). Before you qualify, go into car setup and set the transmission to manual. Set the gear ratio to 5. Then leave and qualify. You will notice your car is much quicker than the others. You are running it above 9500 rpm (about 193 to 198 mph). No one will be able to catch you. The race is very fast. In less than an hour's time, you can access many driver paint schemes.

Pay At The Pump lightning challenge
During the Pay At The Pump challenge, step on the gas through the entire track. Then put a big enough lead on Bobby Labonte and Sterling Marlin so that it is roughly a two to three second gap. You will run out of gas just before turn four, depending on how hard you have been pushing the car during the race. If the lead is  enough, just block and you will win. This may take a few tries, but if you drive the car properly it will be an easier way to win.
