Welcome to the official NASCAR 25 Career Mode walkthrough! In this series, we’ll give you the inside line on making the most out of your NASCAR 25 career, working your way up from a start-up team in the ARCA Menards Series to the upper echelons of the NASCAR Cup Series.
This week, we’re focusing on how to improve your Reputation—the key to advancing your way through the NASCAR ranks.
Building Your Reputation
There are many ways that a real-world driver builds up their reputation in the sport, both good and bad. If you’re trying to build a positive one, you’ve generally got two ways to do it: be fast, or be clean. That’s how you’ll do it in NASCAR 25, too. The basics are simple—you’ll earn Reputation Points for every lap where your race pace is up to par, and for every clean lap you turn.
That’s not all, though. You’ll also score RP for things like meeting your sponsor goals, leading laps, and most of all, for winning races and championships. It shouldn’t be hard for you to plug away with a couple hundred RP at a time at the start of your ARCA career, but once your machine is up to par, it’s easy to take thousands per race.
Eyeing the Next Level
Itching to work your way into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series? Need to supercharge those RP boosts to get there? That’s what your PR Manager is there for. Remember, every PR Manager will give you a percentage bonus for your weekend’s work, and they’ll also find you PR opportunities that regularly offer RP boosts when they show up. It can be a good idea to go for the RP whenever you can.
Once you reach 10,000 Reputation Points, your Reputation will reach Level 2. It’s a sign of progress, but you’ll still have some work to do to get out of ARCA—you’ll need 25,000 RP in total for the chance to move up to the trucks.
