Technical improvements include a new ‘Peak Performance’ training mode, dynamic track features that evolve during race weekends, cross-platform multiplayer, and revamped graphical elements such as improved lighting and skies. The game features NASCAR star Kyle Larson as the cover driver and includes four series: the NASCAR Cup Series, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, Craftsman Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series.
