Now that I have listed the achievements for you, I will give you some tips to get these in the easiest way.  Note:  If any achievements are capable of achieving through a glitch, am not responsible for you not unlocking the achievement.

·         Keep on Truckin’- Win a Craftsman Truck Series race.

This can be done in any mode.  I would prefer Race Now mode so you can alter your race settings.  The race can be on any difficulty, race length, damage, and flag settings.

·         National Hero- Win a Nascar National Series race.

See Keep on Truckin’

·         Badge of Honor- Complete a Driver Badge.

Each driver badge requires certain tasks to be completed to obtain it. The first one is Denny Hamlin’s.  To complete this badge you must:

Ø  Win the Pennsylvania 500 even( it must be a full field)

Ø  Get two top 10 wins

·         Custom Car Creator- Create a Custom Car for all racing series.

Simply create a custom paint scheme for at least 1 car in each class.  The quickest way to do this is to go to Nextel Cup, pick a car and change its number.  Go back to car selection, pick Car of Tomorrow and change its number, and repeat for Craftsman Truck Series and Nascar National Series.

·         Heavy Medal- Win a medal in “The Chase” mode.

Play “The Chase” mode and simply complete 1 license challenge.  All you need is Bronze to unlock the achievement.

·         We’re Talkin’ About Practice- Record a lap in the Toyota “Test and Tune” mode.

Go into Toyota Test and Tune mode and complete one full lap.  As soon as you cross the line, the achievement should unlock.

·         Trade Your Setup- Upload a car setup to your EA Locker.

Simply save a car setup at any time and then visit the EA Locker in Online mode.  Upload your setup to the locker and the achievement will unlock.

·         3 Wide- Earn three gold medals in “The Chase” mode.

Earn three gold medals in your License tests.  There is a glitch that makes this achievement very easy to do.  I am not sure if this works but you can test it out.  Go into a Follow the Leader challenge and choose gold.  As soon as you get the green flag, go to the left a little and then turn hard right into the outside wall.  You will get a terminally damaged car and if done before your time runs out, you will also receive a passed message.  Do this two more times; you can quickly get all three.

·         Today or Tomorrow- Win a Nascar Car of Tomorrow race.

See Keep on Truckin’

·         Play It Again, Sam. - Save a race replay.

This can be done during or after a race.  Simply go into replay mode and save a clip or the full replay.

·         Chase for the Cup- Win a championship in Season mode using the Car of Tomorrow Series full schedule.

Go into Season mode and pick Car of Tomorrow.  Set the opponents as low as they can go.  Now pick a good driver (e.g. Jeff Gordon) and simulate the whole season.  You will hopefully have the points lead, or be very close.  Just race the last race to ensure you win the points.  Then the trophy and achievement are yours.

·         Earn Your Stripes- Earn a Contract in “The Chase” mode.

Complete all of the requirements in one of the six licenses and the achievement will unlock.

·         Independent Contract- Earn a Contract in “The Chase” mode.

Once a License is completed, you will be given the opportunity to accept a Contract.  Just complete the contract by completing 1 racer’s requirements to unlock this achievement.

·         Online Horsepower- Win an online race.

The easiest way to do this is to start a Private match with only 2 AI (opponents) and then start the race.  Simply beat the AI and you’re done.

        Licensed to Drive- Complete all Licenses in “The Chase” mode.

Just finish all sets of Licenses with a bronze medal or higher.

        Craftsman Tools Award- Save a Craftsman Tools Car Setup at any track.

You don’t even need to make adjustments to your car.  When you are at the car setup screen, simply save the default setup and the achievement will unlock.

        Toyota Reward- Complete all Toyota Challenges.

Much like the license challenges.  Just go into the Toyota Challenge and get at least a bronze on each one.

        Sprint Reward- Win a Nextel Cup in Season mode using the Nextel Cup Series ’07 Schedule.

See Chase for the Cup.

        Full Throttle- Complete a 100% length race in Race Now mode or Season mode.

This can be done in any series and any settings.  But make sure the race length is at 100%.  The easiest way to do this is to put it to the Nascar National Series at Bristol Motor Speedway.  Put the AI (opponents) on easy and complete the race.  It is 250 laps and may take somewhere near an hour.  If that is not the least amount of laps for that track, switch between each series and look at the amount of laps each track is and find the least as it will make it easier.  Another tip would be to turn the damage off so you could always run into opponents and not ruin your car.

        Cross Country- Drive 5,000 total miles.

This can be achieved in either Online or Offline.  Races and practices will count towards your mileage, however, Toyota testing, challenges, and licenses do not.  You can check your total mileage by going to your game progress in the Main Menu.

        Pay the Bills- Complete all contracts in “The Chase” mode.

First, you need to complete all of your licenses in order for you to unlock all contracts.  Then complete all of the requirements for all six drivers.

      f)       Lead 99 laps total

CLEAN PASS NOTE: In order for the pass to be considered “clean”, collisions must be On.  My friend told me to choose Talladega and run the high line (right next to the outside wall) because none of the computers will run that line and you can still get a good draft.

Gain “X” AMOUNT OF SPOTS NOTE:  Since you can only get this once per race (even if you start 43^rd and gain 42 spots), the best way to do this is start a Play Now race in 43^rd and race until you make your way up to at least 28^th, then quit and repeat.  You still get credit for gaining positions even though you quit.

        Chase Champion-  Win a NEXTEL Cup in “The Chase” mode

Finish the season in first place during “The Chase” mode.  Any settings may be used for this.

        All Or Nothing-  Reach 100% game progress

You must complete all modes of play including, Licenses, Toyota Challenges, Contracts, Driver Badges, and a full season in “The Chase” mode.  See the guides for the items listed above.
