Gameplay: 

The Xtreme Dirt Tour returned to the game, and Tony Stewart is a driver and team owner in the series. Players in career mode for the first time can start in any of the four series (NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, Trucks, and Xtreme Dirt). Additional updates to the game included different tire compounds for different track types and a track map. Also, custom cars now have an open number choice from 0-99 (including 00-09) for both quick race and career mode.
