Nascar pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

In NASCAR, each drop-bank completion lights the next R-A-C-E shot. Spell RACE, lock twice, and start Multiball at the left ramp. During Multiball, cycle Jackpot, left-ramp Bonus Jackpot, and the relit drops for Super; use Garage awards between starts.

The goal

Complete the three drop targets to light a R-A-C-E shot. Spell RACE, lock two balls at the left ramp, then shoot the left ramp again to start Race Multiball.

  1. Spell RACE

    Complete the three drop targets to light a R-A-C-E shot, then shoot the lit major shot for one letter. Repeat until RACE is complete.

  2. Start Race Multiball

    After spelling RACE, shoot the left ramp twice to lock two balls. Shoot the left ramp once more to start Race Multiball.

  3. Play the Jackpot cycle

    Shoot the lit Jackpot, then shoot the left ramp for the Bonus Jackpot. Complete the relit drop targets for Super Jackpot and repeat the cycle.

Alternative route: a Garage award

Use this when repeated drop-target hits are not returning safely.

  1. Hit the Test Car until it rises, use the two orbit spinners to move the flashing Garage award, then shoot the exposed Garage scoop to start that award.
