Race as Richard Petty
To race as Richard Petty you must get a bronze or better in all the Beat the
Heat challenges
Kenyon Raceway: Leave track
After you pass the start/finish line, instead of turning drive straight for
the upper right part of the wall. You then should be able to drive past the
parked cars and trailers, and exit the other side back out on the race track.

Daytona: Easy spinouts:
Use Tony Stewart's car and try to qualify in the middle of the pack. At the
green flag at the start of the race, take off and cut up on the track slowly.
The drivers will usually try to spin each other out.
Homestead: Drive to infield:
Note: This trick requires the Insane Racer cheat. Go to where you see can
RVs. There is an invisible wall. Use Insane Racer to jump and get on the
infield. Do not fall into the lakes or you will be returned to the track. To
exit, go the same way used to enter.
Mankato Raceway: Drive to infield:
Select the modified cars and go to Mankato raceway. Go into the pits and
there will be an opening in the wall. Go into the opening and you should be in
the infield.
When you chose a series, chose "Modified". Drive to the backstretch all the way.
When you see the concrete, stop in front of it and turn around. Forward, you
will see two regular walls. Drive between them and stay on the accelerator. You
should be in a different part of the infield.
Big crashes:
Go to the Modifies and choose a car and track. At any time, go backwards and
hit the field of cars. If you hit them correctly, directly on the front tires,
you will see the front tires of the other cars go flying into the air. This
works with all the other classes but modifies work the best.
Unlock the "Horn Ball" cheat, then go backwards, preferably at Talladega.
Immediately before you reach the pack of cars, shoot a horn ball. The ball will
go through the first car and will hit the pack of cars behind it, causing a
massive pileup.
At the Cup series, go to Talladega with the stability control turned off. Start
the race and allow a car to your left to spin you out on the backstretch. Wait
until you are at least at 180mph to do this. When you are completely backwards,
hit the brakes and your car should start lifting off the ground. This may
require more than one attempt.
