NASCAR 21: Ignition is a racing simulator developed by Motorsport Games, released in 2021 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Built around the official 2021 NASCAR Cup Series license, it features the full roster of drivers, teams, and tracks from that season. Vehicle handling is modeled to reflect the physical characteristics of real stock cars, though a suite of driver assists makes the experience accessible to newcomers. Broadcast-style pre-race buildup and post-race replays contribute to the presentation's authenticity. Two primary modes anchor the experience: a quick Race Now option lets players compete immediately as any official Cup Series driver, while a career mode tasks players with building a reputation and contending for the championship over time. A Paint Booth allows for detailed customization of liveries and race numbers. Online multiplayer supports both casual and competitive races.
