NASCAR Speed Hub is an immersive 3D experience that lets players design cars, unlock exclusive virtual items, play mini-games and connect to other popular experiences on the platform. NASCAR’s Roblox experience also builds around a popular collaboration with Jailbreak (Another Roblox game). Jailbreak players who complete a time trial in NASCAR Speed Hub will earn a limited-time NASCAR-themed 75th-anniversary skin as part of a new vehicle launch.
The Hub receives updates aligned with real-world NASCAR events, such as the Chicago Street Course and the Phoenix Raceway, offering a digital counterpart to these physical race events.
