Tiburon Speedway track
Use a memory card with a saved file from an EA Sports 2003 game.
Alternately, complete any Lightning Challenge. Recommendations for the challenges are either Wrecord or The Big One on Talledega starring the #4 driver. For Car Setups, set the Gear Ratio Preset to 10 where Top Speed is 7/8 full and Acceleration is 1/8 full. Then, set Tire Pressure to 30 PSI. Then go to Downforce and set both options to the minimum level so that Top Speed is increased. You will be able to reach speeds of over 240 mph. The reason this is fast is because unlike other tracks, there are no Restrictor Plates to keep drivers from going over 200 mph.

Hints
Eight Championships
Win all eight championships and get the Eight Championships video with a New Lightning challenge.
Easy win
Make sure all races are set on ten percent race length. Drive into the grass and spin out on lap four, rather than crash. This way, your car is not damaged and you are better able to draft. It also works 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.
Go to career mode and set it up at either 12, 24, or 36 races at 25% or more. Turn cautions off and when you start, slam on your brakes and turn around. Hit the cars at high speed (especially in the back by the fuel tank, which is their weak spot) and they will sometimes catch on fire. When this happens, the car on fire is out of the race. You can also do this by hitting the car and blocking its movements while it is up against the wall. This will also knock a car out of the race after about a minute. Keep on doing this, and if you are good enough, you can knock all the cars out. Then, turn around and finish the race by yourself in first place. This is a good way to increase your prestige and earnings, especially in the early years of your new career.
At any short track, set your psi (tire pressure) all the way to 60 and just run on the wall. Keep the wheel turned all the way to the left and you should have an easy win.
Get pole position
Before running a veteran race in quick race mode, take the Thunder license and complete all three levels of the test for the desired track. This will give the first (pole) starting position.
Pass easily
Draft with the car in front of you for awhile. When you just come out of a turn, move over and you should pass him. You can also do this on a straight away, but it works much better coming out of a turn. Also, drafting helps fuel mileage and your speed.
Tiburon Speedway track
Go into the Lightning Challenges. Choose the one with Jimmie Johnson (Home Sweet California) and win the race to unlock the Tiburon Speedway and another Thunder Plate.
Bristol: Easy win
First, turn on the running line, and unlimited fuel and tires. Qualify as you would for any track. During the race, when the running line turns red, wait a moment before letting off the gas. Then, press the gas when you reach the green again. The car will automatically go high, and the other cars will slow down. You can go around them. It may take a few laps, but eventually you will be running in the front. This tactic can be adapted for all short tracks.
When at Bristol Motor Speedway on the second lap, on the second turn the other cars will slow down.
Bristol: Great crash
Go to Bristol, turn around, and run directly into the lead car. If yellow flags are on, you will not be able to turn around.
Daytona: Super speed
Go to Daytona Super Speedway at any length. At a round of pit stops, before you enter, go to speeds of 71 to 75 mph. Do your pit stop with a penalty; your speeds should be at around 207 mph. This will work about 50% of the time.
Set your gear ratios to preset 6 and tire pressure at 21 psi. You will go up to 194 mph. Note: It will take your car some time to get up to speed, but on the second lap you might even reach speeds of 197 mph (because you will be drafting).
Talladega: Easy win
Go to the car set-up then select the gear ratios. Set the ratio number to "5". Make sure damage is off, and tire wear is unlimited. Also, use a manual transmission. Note: This can also be used at Daytona.
Tiburon: Great crash
Let all the cars pass you at the star of the race. Line up on the start/finish line so that the front of your car is facing the wall and the back of it is facing the pits. Hold the brakes and wait for the other cars to come around. With you parked out on the track and the other cars coming around, they will hit you. When they do, you and other cars will go flying up in the air. Sometimes this takes out four or more cars, and perhaps even all of them.
Watkins Glen: Easy win
Set the race length to 5%. On the first lap, cause a caution. When asked to pit, do not. On the second lap, cause another caution. This time when asked, pit. You will be 43rd place, but just before lap 4 everyone else will have to come in and pit. You will coast to an easy win with enough fuel and tires.
Bud Shoot Out
On the first lap, go into the pits and take on left side tires only (no gas or repairs). When you leave the pits, cause a caution. After all of the caution laps, there will only be one lap remaining and not enough time for anyone to pit.
Pocono thunder challenge
Press [Start] during the race. Go to the settings and set "Auto Brake" to "Off". Set "Stability Control" to "Limited". You will be able to catch your opponent. Try to stay off the wall; if you hit it too much you car will be gone.
Career mode set-ups
During your first years in career mode, your crew chief will not be as experienced in choosing the correct setup for Superspeedways. If you go with his decisions, you will not finish well. Instead, go to practice mode and get a feel for the track. If your lap times do not come close to the pole sitter's time (about one or two seconds), then make changes on your car. Increase your fourth gear ratio by four or five notches; you will see your acceleration increase. This will allow you to achieve your top speed faster, and you can accelerate out of the corners faster. It is also a good idea to pit at the halfway mark on a 5% race, as most cars will take the next lap to pit and you will not run into pit road traffic. Remember to draft, and you can finish with a good position, and perhaps even win.
