How to unlock the Long Live the King achievement in NASCAR Heat 3 - Definitive Guide
To make this as easy as possible, change all of the settings to Easy with Damage and Flags off. To save time, you will want to select Quick Qualify. This will make starting races quicker, and the better you qualify, the easier it will be to win. On Easy, even starting in last will net you a win on most tracks.
I highly recommend you start with the Career mode, as this will allow you to work on many achievements at the same time. You must begin in the lowest series, the Xtreme Dirt Tour, and as you complete seasons and impress teams (using Hot Seat races), you can then move up into the Camping World Truck Series, the Nationwide Series, and finally, the Monster Energy Cup Series.
You can then also decide, at the end of each season, which series you want to compete in. For example, after the first season, you have the option to continue in the Xtreme Dirt Tour AND race in the Camping World Truck Series, or do one or the other. Depending on how many series you are competing in, at one time, will determine which season you actually get the achievement. At most, you could compete in all four and get this in an early season.
While going for this achievement, you are guaranteed to get the following achievements:
Checkered Flag - Won a race
Perfect 10 - Won 10 races
All I Do Is Win - Won 25 races
No Longer Rusty - Won 56 races
Not Intimidated - Won 77 races

You can finish remaining rest in Quick race, Dirt Tour series is shortest, as for track I recommend Jefferson if you strugle with winning without qual if you are confident about your skills use Drebin instead.
You can just use 'Race again', don't need to go to menu after each race to count it but from time to time 'finish event' to check your progress because achievement pops only in main menu.
If you’re looking to rack up wins as fast as possible, the Xtreme Dirt Series has the fastest races. I found Jefferson Raceway to be the quickest overall, because you do not have to qualify in order to get to the front before the race is over. Simply set the difficulty to custom (85%) and the race length to the lowest (2%). The race will only be one lap and takes about a minute and a half to complete. With the AI on 85%, you’ll have no problem making it to 1st place before the lap is over. From here, you can restart the race and repeat however many times you need.
As is tradition in a NASCAR game, you must win 200 races across all four series to earn this and subsequent achievements. You can do this however you like: Quick Race, Championship, Online, and Career all count. It would be a good idea to win as many as possible during your four required Career Mode playthroughs. Remember that the shortest possible length is locked to 4%, so you may find it more beneficial to simulate the rest of your career mode after earning everything and instead race in Championship mode. The AI difficulty can also be lowered in Championship mode to 85%, which will allow you to easily win every race set to 2% length without even having to qualify. The only exceptions are the superspeedways, but they can still be won without having to qualify if you’re good enough.
