Check you have the best tyres on possible. Also, make sure your car is upgraded as it can be. Other than that it's up to your driver, tuning might help but i'll leave that for somebody else to post, as i did it with stock tuning.
Best tyres are Racing Hard btw.

I used a combination of settings from here and some tweaks. Didn't do a fresh oil change as the car was still showing 892 hp prior to the start. Won the 1st 2 races Indy by aq long way and GVS by 6 seconds taking the lead on the final lap after working very hard to keep Bob aka CRush calmed down. Only giving him the overtake command comming into the last set of turns before the strait. Then at the High Speed Ring "Crush" wanted to lead early and even my repeated pacedown commands couldn't keep him from blasting the tires off the car. He had a strong run going but wouldn't come down from full red. As the laps ran out he had managed to drop into 11th position and was trying hard for 12th. After the race he complained about the car being underpowered and not handling too well. He was chasing it up the hill in turn 1. Well I have to give him that. I saw the handling problem but since the race was allready started I couldn't make any adjustments. Then I saw the other problem. The missed oil changed had resulted in the motor dropping power from 892 to 850. It was at 892 at the beginning of the championship series and had decreased somewhere in the 1st 3 races. Not wanting to scrap the series yet I decided to under gear the car for Laguna Seca and had it redlining a little early on the long strait. I had the chassis tweaked pretty well and even for being down 42 horses CRush rallied for a strong 2nd place finish. I was actually pretty proud of him. On to Daytona. Knowing the car was down on power I was amazed to see CRush drive his way to the lead on lap 3 and hold on until lap 7 under the pace down and maintain pace commands. He had done so in a few practice runs but had 42 more horses of tire shredding power under the hood and would normally fade later into the race. This time I kept him calm and watched as the car to beat for the championship took the lead and swapped it back and forth until lap 11. Then all at once CRush dug down deep and pulled off a Charge on a well placed overtake command and shot from 9th to 1st in one smooth pass. It helped that everyone else seemed to want to park on the entry to turn 3. He passed the pack like they were sitting still. I gave him about 3/4 bar after the pass and kept him between 3/4 and 1/2 until he finally gave up the lead on lap 18. The only car we had to beat wasin 11th at that point. I opted to shoot the pace down/Maintain pace commands from there to the finish and brought him home in 4th. The car we were racing pulled off a 9th place finish giving us the championship.

I did it this morning. Finished 2nd overall, I wasn't expecting Bob to do it at the first attempt.
I used the Jeff Gordon Impala. Indianpolis was easy enough, won by 6 seconds. Grand Valley was harder, he was running in 7th for most of it until lap 6 when the phone rang, when I came back he'd finished 2nd. High Speed Ring was a nightmare, consistently dropping back until he was 8th. I managed 5th at Laguna Seca, barely though. Daytona was very intense, he was in the top three for most of it, peaking at 8th and 1st. It annoying because you can't securely establish a lead at a track like that. On the last lap he was 3rd and passed 1st and 2nd, though being on the outside overtaking is then deemed impossible by Bob. He then braked along with everyone else just before the finish line and came 5th, losing the title by 40 points.

Daytona is driving me crazy. 4th is the best i've managed in about 40 attempts. I've tried every setup in here. Why is this one race so hard to win? I beat the rest no prob stock cept for Indy. And I only bumped the speed up for that. This is just stupid hard and very frustrating. I really believe it's just dumb luck to get gold here.
The whole braking at the start/finish is about the dumbest thing ever!

Perhaps my experience with the Nascar B-Spec event will help someone.
I was having a hard time while practicing with setups on Race 2: Grand Valley Speedway, because my Level 18 Spec-B Driver was sliding all over the place and burning up his tires. I saw a post on GameFaqs where someone had recommended settings for each of the races in the Nascar B-Spec Championship, and his settings for Grand Valley Speedway did not work for my driver.
I worked on the setup a bit for that second race, entered, and actually won the Championship with all Golds using the settings that the person had posted for the Indy Race and the Daytona Race, and the settings that I fiddled with (below) to win the middle three races fairly easily. Once I got into the lead, I would try to keep my driver midway in the red zone (at about the 75% mark on the full bar), since this is where he seemed to perform at his best without making stupid mistakes. I have no idea what the LSD settings actually do, but I cranked them all the way up and my driver's performance improved drastically on Grand Valley Speedway. I just kept them the same (except for top speed), due to laziness for the most part, and won at High Speed Ring and Laguna Seca without any problem.

Have you tried setting the Brake Bias to F - 0, R - 0 or F - 1, R - 1?
That usually takes care of the braking at the start/finish that Bob seems to enjoy doing at every chance he gets on fast tracks
yep. did that. dropped diff brake setting to 5 as well. There are a few times where he does not brake but 2/3s of the time is stabs the brakes. Lvl 23 driver, arrow up, strength is around 80%.
Oh well. Keep trying I guess. Just means a little less grinding to get to 40.
@ Tig. Dude I owe you a steak dinner. Your setup worked a charm. Thanx. Finally got it with a 3.2 gap. First go. Plus I think I managed Juan(Bob) a lot better. I let him be till lap 10 aside from 4-5 pace downs so he wasn't full red for too long. Pushed him twice to get the lead at 13. He pulled a nice gap by himself when he started to cool down I just maintained pace at 75% till the end. The 43 made a run on me at 15 but Juan figured it out and didn't brake at start/finish for the last 5 laps.
I'm doing it again right now to see if it was a fluke. Half way and it's looking good. lap 15 almost half a turn lead. Well it's no fluke. 3.4 gap this time. Thanx again man.

FINALLY !!!!
BOB WON RACE 2 - GRAND VALLEY SPEEDWAY WITH A 14-SECOND LEAD
Like many of you trying to beat this damn race with a 1st position, I had been reading the suggestions on this, and every other related thread, to try to get some sort of success.
Every time I used the various suggested settings for [Race 2 Grand Valley Speedway], my driver would smoke-up the tyres on many of the turns and wear them down so they had virtually no traction (even with 3 more laps to go). I thought it was hopeless.
So I played around with the settings myself.
Please note that I am not claiming to have superior knowledge to anyone else in this regard. I still don't understand how most of the settings affect the handling of the car. All I did was fiddle with the settings to see if I could solve the problem with the tyres smoking-up on the turns.
Anyway, here are the settings I used:
==================================
Aerodynamic Adjustment: Downforce F50 R70
Transmission Gear Ratio: Max Speed 300 km/h
Suspension:
Ride Height: -15/-15
Spring Rate: 15/15
Dampers (Extension): 3/3
Dampers (Compression): 3/3
Anti-Roll: 7/7
Camber: 0.5/0.5
Toe: 0.00/0.20
Everything else was set to default.
When I next ran the race, I was surprised to see virtually NO SMOKE from the tyres during turns.
I didn't have to coach Bob at all during the race, except the odd "pace up" on the straights (bridge and start/finish line) because I felt I needed to do something more than just watch the screen. Other than that, I didn't need to use the controller during the race.
Thinking it was a fluke, I re-ran the race and this time finished first with a 12-second lead.
Please feel free to try these settings for yourself. It's worth a try. Good luck!

Used these settings, won Laguna Seca by 13 seconds. I'll be trying on Daytona and High Speed Ring later.
FWIW, I could have pushed it way harder on Laguna Seca. Finished with ~75% tire life.
Update: Crushed Daytona by 4 seconds. Also, did well on High Speed Ring, however on the first sweeping curve my front tires would give out. Watch out for that and adjust your settings accordingly. I still won easily.

Used TigJackson's setups for Bob and they seem to really do the trick. I had already won in A-Spec but Bob was struggling a bit in B-Spec but so far I've taken Bob around Indy and Daytona with these setups and he smoked them. First I tested Daytona where he won by six seconds, and then I took him to Indy where he won with a 32-second lead over second place. It's late, so I'll try the others tomorrow.

It was so much easier to gain points in A-Spec then B-Spec mode. By the time I finished the first race in A-Spec I gained 1 skill level. In B-Spec I didn't even gain half. I don't know how I'm going to make it to level 21!

I failed the first time I tried it a few weeks ago because my Bob just wasn't good enough. Then yesterday I watched my friend win every race with his level 21 driver and thought if his Bob could win it, then so can mine. So last night I used my best Bob (who's now level 32) and I managed to win 4 of the races. I was annoyed that he was leading the race at Daytona for 18 laps before slipping back to finish 4th. At least I finally won this race series 👍
My Bob's personality is far cooler than my friend's Bob, yet I couldn't win every race with mine. I guess having a hotter personality makes winning this championship easier from what i've seen.

My best driver is a complete hot-head, all the way in the red. I have several drivers who can't win the NASCAR stuff because they're bad at passing. The hot-head is good at passing, and so is one of my cooler drivers -- they're both good in the NASCAR events. Don't know if this is coincidence or not.

In fairness, I think it was my car settings that were to blame rather than my Bob and after all, he's blamed enough! I'm only on level 27 B-spec and have tried to keep my races linear but the NASCAR series on 'extreme' is the only one I've yet to do having abandoned it beforehand.

I just waited until my Bobs were level 33 / 34 then done and all i altered was ride height and max speed. Golded them all.
No need to completely change things.
No need to completely change things.
I think my fully Hot driver was at Class 27 (B spec Level of 28) when I did the NASCAR. Someone else set the car up for me and it was fully broken in (892 HP). With some "pushing" Bob won the first four races and was leading Daytona for most of the race until he pitted at the end of lap 19 (of 20!!!) and finished last. Not a problem though as he won the first four races so I got the Gold.
I completed it with a 38 Bob who was yet to start declining. Gold in 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th races, and I won by quite a bit in all of those. In the 2nd race, his tires were trash by the end of the 8th lap, so I just exited that race. It's as if he thought the 2nd race was a drift competition.
I adjusted the transmission appropriately for each race and broke in the car for full-hp myself before I went into the series. I did sit there and coach him the whole way through too. With the cars being fairly evenly matched, if Bob gets cool the others can catch up and pass. If that happens at the wrong time, Bob will not win the race.
