Very easy trophy. In the main garage, select car, then design. A blank car will be shown. Just save that car and the trophy will unlock. No designing is required.
 
 Last Man Standing (Bronze)
Survive a 43 car eliminator race to the end.
 
From the main garage select single player then eliminator. Increase opponents to 42 and skill level to rookie. I recommend using a bigger track such as Daytona or Talladega. Race your way to the lead and stay there and don’t be eliminated and the trophy is yours.
 
 Run the Gauntlet (Bronze)
Win a Gauntlet Invitational Event.
 
A gauntlet event is a race in the invitational part of career mode. You start the race mid pack and have to race your way to the front. Once the first segment is completed the field is inverted and you have to place as high as you can again. The driver with the most points wins. Its possible to not win either segment and still win.
 
 The Champ is here! (Bronze)
Win the Championship Showdown Invitational Event.
 
This is an invitational event in career mode. This race is split into two segments. The first segment you must pit for four tires before the segment ends. In the second part you must win the race. Wherever you finish in segment one is where you start segment two. Win the race to unlock this trophy.
 
 Finishing in First! (Bronze)
Win a race crossing the line in first gear.
 
I recommend boosting this with a partner. If running a manual transmissions shift to first gear and cross the finish line for the win. If using an automatic transmission slow down till you are first gear and inch across the line to unlock this trophy.
 
 Give me 4 (Bronze)
Perform your first 4-tire pit stop in any race.
 
Simply pit and select four tires for this trophy to unlock.
 
 Hotrod (Bronze)

Lead 5 consecutive laps in an online race.
 
Lead five laps in a row in an online race. This can be boosted with a partner in a private race.
 
 Rubbin is Racin! (Bronze)
Race online at every track.
 
The easiest way is to boost with a partner in a private race and just go through the list of tracks. Race one track, finish and then back out and select the next track and re-invite your partner. The stats menu does NOT keep track of this, so you will have to keep a list of tracks you have and have not raced.
 
 Pedal to the Metal (Bronze)
Achieve the fastest lap of the race during an online race.
 
Run the fastest lap on any track for any race. You must have fastest lap by your name in the results screen for this to unlock.
 
 Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday (Silver)
Win a race in all brands of car.
 
Go to single player and select of the four brands of cars which are Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota. Paint schemes can be divided by manufacturer. Win a race with each manufacturer to unlock the trophy.
 
 Styling 'N' Profiling (Bronze)

Go into car design and save the blank car, you don't need to change anything. Now use this car to win a race and the trophy is yours.
 
 Pit Perfection (Silver)
Perform a 4-tire pit stop, and go on to win the race. (Online Only)
 This is best boosted with a partner in a private race. Pit during the race, change four tires and win the race to unlock this trophy.
 
 Ride in Style (Silver)
Collect 88 Paint Schemes by racing in Invitational Events and reaching rank 29.
 
You earn paint schemes by leveling up and achieving every objective in the invitational events. Once you have unlocked 88 schemes the trophy will unlock. Note: To unlock the last three Mark Martin paint schemes enter the code Down (2), Up (2), Right, Left, Right, Left at the main garage menu. This will open a text box. Type in “godaddy.com” (Without quotes) to unlock the final paint schemes.

Note: Several people have reported missing at least 1 paint scheme without missing the criteria. Not sure what causes this to glitch at this time.
 
 Groovy (Bronze)
Master a track. Complete all the objectives on a Master the Track card.
 
In single player, there will be a card with objectives to complete at each track. The objectives are win 5 poles, five wins, 5 consecutive laps lead, 5 pit stops, 5 rivalry wins, 5 fastest laps, and a lap under a certain time for each track. Simply master one track to unlock this trophy. Previous wins and other stats count towards mastering so I would save these two trophies for last.

Here is a helpful glitch for mastering the tracks. Credit DALEshakeNbakeJR for bringing this to my attention.

I may have discovered something fellas, and it might be an exploit. So as you might have seen in my rant, I lost everything. I am flying through campaign to unlock the invintationals again. When Watkins Glen popped up, I didn't qualify. Since I had the point lead by 600, I decided to throw the race.

I would start in 43rd and mash the gas on the outside going into turn 1. This would cause a caution. I repeated 3 more times, and the race ended under caution (I placed 2nd by the way, lol). When I was looking for the Atlanta master time, I scrolled right, and to my MAJOR disbelief, Watkins Glen's lap time of 1:13.XX was checked off.

This is the only time i have even touched watkins, and i didn't even complete an entire lap. I am trying to see if this turn 1 caution thing is working on other tracks, if so, I may have landed an awesome discovery !

Still isn't going to help on the gold times for inventational events unfortunately.

UPDATE: I tried the plow method on Daytona, Pocono, and Infineon. And odd enough, Infineon also got a star under the master the track card. This is not much proof, but I assure you these are hard ones to legitamently do, so test it out and see if it works for you.
 
 Surfin' USA (Silver)
Master every track in the game.
 
Same as groovy but you must master all 27 tracks for this to unlock.
 
 Name to Remember (Silver)
Unlock every Gold Legends Coin in the game.
 
You earn these coins in NXP invitational events. Simply draft the drivers in that race for a short period of time each to unlock their coin. Once you have all the coins the trophy is yours.
 
 Boy Scout (Gold)
Unlock every NASCAR Pin in the game.
 
Pins are earned by leveling up, completing every objective in NXP races, and mastering every track. Once you have maxed out all three of those you should have all the pins and the trophy.
 
 Kingly (Silver)
Defeat Richard Petty's race win record of 200 wins.
 
Win 201 races. Career, single player, and online all count towards this trophy. You can keep track of your wins in the stats menu under driver. Most likely you will need to boost some more wins. I did 2 lap races at Bristol. After the burnout and the results screen appears, click race again. You can race again without having to go through all the loading screens and your wins are saved.
