Individual Explanation of Each Trophy

Victory Lap (Platinum)

What to do: Earn all the other trophies in the game.

Importance: This is the final trophy that represents full 100% dedication to the game. Once you have it, you can be sure you have completed everything.
Shortcut: Make sure you already have the seasonal trophies, online achievements, and basic ones before worrying about this.

Race Winner (Bronze)

What to do: Win any race.
Tips: Choose an easy track, lower the difficulty if necessary. Take advantage of the setup to ensure a quick victory.

100 % Race (Bronze)

What to do: Complete a race at 100% of its length (i.e., without shortening the race length).
Tips: Check in race options that the length is set to 100%, and that there are no interruptions that force a restart. It’s one of the simplest, but requires the race to be completed.

What to do: Complete a full season of the Menards ARCA series in Career mode.
Tips: Start a new race from “Career” mode, select the Menards ARCA series, and enter the full season. Make sure to participate in every event of the season for it to count as “complete”.
Shortcut: Set a lower difficulty to not struggle too much for positions if you’re just looking to complete. You don’t need to win, just participate in all the events of the season.

Truck Driver (Silver)

What to do: Complete a full season of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck series in Career mode.

Shortcut: Choose low difficulty, use a stable vehicle, prioritize finishing on the track rather than risking too much.

Xfinity Driver (Silver)

Tips: The Xfinity series is a step up, so the difficulty may increase slightly. Still, with smart driving, you can complete it without needing to choose “Super easy”.
Shortcut: Maintain a steady pace, avoid major accidents, and prioritize finishing each race over coming in first.

Cup Driver (Silver)

What to do: Complete a full season of the NASCAR Cup series in Career mode.

ARCA Champion (Gold)

Tips: Similar to ARCA Champion, but in the truck series. Aim for multiple wins or at least good placements to gather enough points for the title.

Career Rookie (Gold)

Tips: It’s not necessary to win the championship, just complete the season. You can do it in the easiest series (ARCA) to get it quickly.
