Easy EA Bio increase:
An easy way to increase your Bio is to first end a career mode season. Then, save the season before selecting "New Season" at the top. After you have saved, go to the new season. As soon as you are done with re-rolling the stats (optional), the EA Bio bar will appear. Choose to save on that bar (only happens without autosave). Do not save the season, then exit. Return into your career and it should be back to where you can start the next season. Start the next season and repeat the process. After you have tried it a few times go into "My Nascar", select "Bio", and enter the recent history. In the recent history, it should show that you have finished two seasons in one day and the same car. Hint: Faster car: To get a faster car in any mode, hold the Left Analog-stick in the direction that you are driving.

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

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.
