NASCAR 21: Ignition is a racing video game simulating the 2021 and 2022 NASCAR Cup Series seasons. It was developed and published by Motorsport Games and was released on October 28, 2021, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows via Steam, with a further release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles on June 23, 2022. The game received mixed reviews.

The cover athletes are Cup drivers for each manufacturer: Chase Elliott for Chevrolet, Bubba Wallace for Toyota, and Ryan Blaney for Ford. Bill Elliott is on the cover of the Champions Edition version of the game, which released two days prior, and allows players to race as Bill himself (using a 2019-2021 Gen 6 NASCAR Cup Series Ford Mustang with his 1983 Melling paint scheme).
