Easy EA Bio increase:
An easy way to increase your Bio is to first end a career mode season. Then, save 
the season before selecting "New Season" at the top. After you have saved, go to 
the new season. As soon as you are done with re-rolling the stats (optional), the 
EA Bio bar will appear. Choose to save on that bar (only happens without 
autosave). Do not save the season, then exit. Return into your career and it 
should be back to where you can start the next season. Start the next season and 
repeat the process. After you have tried it a few times go into "My Nascar", 
select "Bio", and enter the recent history. In the recent history, it should show that 
you have finished two seasons in one day and the same car.

Faster car:
To get a faster car in any mode, hold the Left Analog-stick in the direction that you

on all tracks that have a locked version of it.

Road courses:
To unlock a road course for Texas, Talladega, Pocono, Phoenix, Homestead or 
Daytona, race the original track on the medium or veteran difficulty. 3% is the 
easiest race length and the fastest.

Fantasy and night tracks and cars: 
Go to season mode. Choose custom for tracks. Then, choose locked tracks on 
medium. You can race at whichever locked track you choose. if you win race, you 
unlock a track. if you also have a locked car, you also win the first locked car.

Easy All Star race and Bud Shootout: 
Instead reaching the EA Bio levels for the All-Star race and the Shootout, just race 
a season under veteran at 3 or more % race length, damage on visual only, and 
brake and steering help, and win those races.

To get into the All Star race, win the Daytona 500 (in career mode). You will be in 
the All Star until you "retire".
