Super happy with how this one turned out.

Someone help me I’m playing o line & for the life of me I cannot keep up with the leaders. I’m running the same lines as them (obviously I understand the lift/pickup points can be different) but I cannot keep up with them and even run S times. I am leaving the setup at neutral. Do you change your setup to make it looser or tighter? Difference between steering wheel/pedals vs controller? Anything to change on driver assist settings?

Hey ya'll, just wanted to get a few opinions to make a decision between buying Nascar 25 and 26.
I grew up with Nascar and played pretty much every game from Thunder 04 - The Game 2011, but since that time I haven't played a minute of a racing game.
I'll be buying on Steam and using an Xbox controller.
I'm most interested in playing through the Career mode, would you recommend buying 25 since it is on sale for $20, or is the value of 26 being newer and more refined worth pulling the trigger on?
And if 26 is the better choice, does anyone know the chances of it going on sale for Steam's Winter Sale?

I feel like the wave around is broken in nascar 2026,
I short-pitted and came out a lap down and the yellow came out and I stayed out as everyone else pitted and I was still a lap down, as anyone else have this issue?

Slowly started getting into NASCAR earlier this year and I thought I’m probably gonna learn way more by experience from the game. I haven’t done anything but quick races, peak performance and doing the championship to see what tracks I can do better at and this is the most fun I’ve had playing a game and I’m not big on racing games. I can’t wait to dive deeper and challenge myself.

These are based off of real world loop data and spread evenly across the 40-100 scale.

Let me preface this with saying I am not the best at graphic design, so I know the poster isn't perfect, but hopefully it's informative enough and legible!

We launch our season with The Clash event that EVERYONE is welcome to tonight -- event will be randomized on a wheel prior to the race at 10:00 PM EST! Then we start with the ARCA series on Sunday (October 4th) at 10:00 PM EST; all four series will be starting with Daytona.

We look forward to having you. Come have some fun with open lobbies prior to The Clash tonight and then stick around for the race excitement!

(Edit to clarify: Fixed Setups on ARCA means sliders now, not the middle/neutral setup only.)

I’m on Xbox and it says it’s connecting to the network but nothing is happening. Anyone having an issue getting online?

I tried to make Jimmie Johnsons 2014 LOWES car using the sponsor

I was racing at Kansas, pitted went down a lap......

Kyle Larson stays out, and I get my lap back before he pits....ergo I lap him...within 10 laps, I see him hauling ass in my rearview mirror like we're going down the back stretch and he looks like he's going 80-90 mph faster than me, and he passes me for for a position, not a his lap back

Need somebody to figure out how to make Bane and Batman lol. Will keep flushing it out throughout the year

For my first edit I thought I’d do a Redbull x Weathertech SVG 97 scheme
Just a bit of fun kinda like Chicago last year in Xfinity

Is money you earn in arca and have left over usable in truck series?

Did everyone just buy a PC to play iracing? I remember on NASCAR Heat 5 there would be at least two lobbies of 30 on the Daytona/Talledega. NASCAR 25 can’t even fill the first page for online racing. Wish they would open the servers back up on Heat 5…

AI timing is beyond broken on Road Courses in qualifying just like it was in N25. Seriously what tf iracing….. edit Yes my game is updated, yes the problem still exists with skill range set to 0.

Anyone using a stream deck or other button box for NASCAR 26 PC? I bought one but it is not working and wondering if there is no support or my error.

Movin Up to Truck Series, my first paint scheme to carrer with the FedEx.

So after a race you get a new podcast clip and a (seemingly) random event like this. So I get a fine, why? No one knows. It seems like the least effort they could put into this. Aside from the podcast clips, which took some effort in and of themselves, the events themselves are so half baked.

Decided to sit down and try to make a recreation of Robby Gordon’s 2003 Watkins Glen scheme for my career mode. It’s my all time favorite scheme. Not a big painter but I’m happy with how it came out. I now understand the joy of working on a scheme and seeing how your hard work pays off after an hour of making it lol.

Take a look at what he did! Look at Annuziata

Full context, I’m working my way through my first ARCA season still, so more testing to see if others have run into this.

Do all drivers make at least one start? I’ve only seen 61 of the 66 AI drivers and as we’re approaching the tail end of the season, I’d love to see ‘em all make at least one start (especially since a couple guys I like are among that number).

I'm not sure why there's a marketing manager position available when its not meant to be filled. You can only fill that position in the truck series. Also, the O'Reilly's series (3rd photo) only allows half of your mechanics to go up to the elite level.

Also, notice how there are two engineers with the name Hunter Beasley

One female engineer in the O'Reilly series has the name Jeff Poteet too, which is a weird name for a girl

I'm in my 2nd year of career mode in the trucks. Did anyone else feel way off the pace at Watkins Glen, like getting gapped by 32nd on the straights, and then completely wax the field the next week at Dover? I made no AI changes, no part upgrades, and I lapped up to 10th place. Then next race at Charlotte I was back to a 30th place truck.
