These multiplayer sessions will not only take place in the Cup Series. Players can also face off with each other in Xtreme Dirt, the Camping World Truck Series, and the Xfinity Series. They will have the option of heading to 39 official tracks from the NASCAR schedules — such as Talladega Superspeedway — or trying out nine additional dirt tracks.
