Hints
Night tracks
Go to season mode and then to "Custom Schedule". You can unlock night races for the day tracks.

Alternate night tracks
Win the race that has a locked version of an alternate night track under the veteran difficulty, 3% race length, and damage on visual only. Repeat this method on all tracks that have a locked version of it.

Road courses
To unlock a road course for Texas, Talladega, Pocono, Phoenix, Homestead or Daytona, race the original track on the medium or veteran difficulty. 3% is the easiest race length and the fastest.

Fantasy and night tracks and cars
Go to season mode. Choose custom for tracks. Then, choose locked tracks on medium. You can race at whichever locked track you choose. if you win race, you unlock a track. if you also have a locked car, you also win the first locked car.

Easy All Star race and Bud Shootout
Instead reaching the EA Bio levels for the All-Star race and the Shootout, just race a season under veteran at 3 or more % race length, damage on visual only, and brake and steering help, and win those races.

To get into the All Star race, win the Daytona 500 (in career mode). You will be in the All Star until you "retire".

Easy win
On a longer race, race backwards and try to take every racer out. Make sure they are in flames. Pause game play and check the "Race Stats" periodically to see who is still on the track. Then, turn back around and race with no competition. Note: When you are checking the Race Stats, if you see "Off" under any racer, that indicates that they will be in the pits for a long period of time.

Driving locked car part
In multi player mode, you can drive a locked car. This only works with one person at a time. Have a player choose their car, then have the other player go to the same car. Have them change to a locked car. After that, they can choose their car.

Drive same car
In two player mode, have someone pick a created car then have the other player go to that car. They can also choose it. When you race, both players will be driving the same cars.

No restrictor plate at Talladega
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "gdbfile" file in the "/season04/tracks/talladega/easports500" directory in the game folder. Find the "RestrictorPlate = true" line and change the value to "false".
