What’s Happening?

In revealing the lineup of tracks for its upcoming NASCAR console game, NASCAR 26, iRacing Studios has seemingly revealed that it will still limit tracks to certain series.

  • In past NASCAR games, including the EA Sports and NASCAR Heat line, players were able to race any series on any track. For example, this could see players take the Cup Series to Iowa Speedway (before it joined the Cup Series schedule) or the Truck Series to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
  • Unfortunately, this feature was not in NASCAR 25, the inaugural game in the iRacing Studios series of NASCAR games. In an interview in October 2025, Matt Lewis of iRacing said this was due to the “exponential workload” it would place on developers, such as the need to create setups and pit strategies for each series at each track.
  • Despite Lewis adding in that interview that “it’s something we definitely have to put in the future plans,” a graphic posted to social media on Friday that shows the game’s roster of tracks lists specific series for each track, implying that tracks are locked to their respective series for NASCAR 26.
  • Though there is no confirmation that this is the case, most fans online were quick to pick up on this, with many begging for the chance to take other series to new tracks.
  • For a full breakdown of the track roster in NASCAR 26, make sure to check out the story linked below.
