NASCAR Heat 2

During the regular season in Career, you'll want to win as much as possible to secure a spot in the playoffs. The playoffs are basically an elimination bracket made up of 7 races and 2 eliminator rounds (10 races, 3 eliminator rounds in Cup). Each win during the regular season is worth five bonus points during the playoffs and carries over through each of the two elimination rounds. The driver first place in the standings at the end of the regular season also receives 15 bonus points that carry over as well. The eight drivers with those most wins/points at the end of the regular season qualify for the playoffs and are placed in a bracket.

At the start of the playoffs, those eight drivers are lined up based on how many bonus points they received during the regular season. After three races, the bottom two drivers in points are eliminated and the process is repeated for the second eliminator round. Winning a race during these eliminator rounds ‘locks’ you into the next round, so that’s a guaranteed way to continue advancing rounds. If you have a bad race and are in danger of being eliminated, you can restart the race as many times as needed to stay in the hunt. After the second elimination round, the four remaining drivers have their points completely reset, with no bonus points applied for the final race. The top finisher among the four remaining competitors at Homestead takes home the championship. When you get to the final race, make sure to qualify well and finish ahead of your competition to win the championship and unlock this achievement.
