GAME FORMAT:
The competition involves forming a seven-player roster and engaging in one-on-one matchups against other participants in the league. Points will be accumulated based on the performance of your drivers in the race. Your overall driver’s score will be compared to another participant’s score to determine the outcome as a win, loss, or tie for the race weekend.
During the standard 33-week season, you have the opportunity to craft four rosters. The initial roster is formed at the beginning of the season, and you can modify your roster three more times before the playoffs commence. Whether you change a single driver or all seven in your re-roster, it will be counted as one of the four allowable changes throughout the season.
RE-ROSTERS:
You have the flexibility to modify your selections at any time before the race weekend (by midnight on Saturday) for them to be applicable to that particular weekend’s race. Any re-roster picks submitted during a race weekend will be applied to the following week’s race. Please note that picks for the Daytona 500 cannot be altered after February 13th.
To make changes to your picks, click the link located above this page, or alternatively, you can email or text your new set of seven drivers to the league manager, Tim Schingen.
PLAYOFFS:
There will be two conferences, namely the Purple Conference and the Green Conference, each consisting of 26 contenders.
The top 15 contenders with the most favorable Win-Loss-Tie records in each conference will progress to the playoffs following week 33. Additionally, one contender with the highest total points for the year, outside the top 15, will qualify for the playoffs based on points earned in each conference.
Upon the commencement of the playoffs, those who have been eliminated will no longer participate in the league. There will be no additional competitions in a loser bracket.
THE PLAYOFF ROUNDS:
10/13 @ Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval – Round of 32 (16 Each Conference)

PRIZE MONEY:
This fantasy league operates on a winner-take-all basis, where the ultimate winner will receive a prize of $250. The prize will be transferred via Paypal or Venmo and is scheduled to be delivered before December 31, 2024.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
Points earned in the Clash at the Coliseum and the NASCAR All-Star race will exclusively apply to the drivers qualifying for the feature race. No stage points or qualifying points will be granted during these events.
Qualifying points for the Daytona 500 will be accrued based on the results of single-car qualifying and not on the starting lineup determined by the qualifying races.
TIE-BREAKERS:
Tie-breakers will only be applicable for playoff races. The player with the highest season-long points total will determine the winner. In the event that both contenders have identical rosters entering the championship race, both contenders will be required to alter one driver in their rostered picks. This adjustment will not be counted as one of their allotted re-rosters.
POINTS AWARDED:
Your points earned will be determined by calculating the average score of your seven drivers.
The following is how your driver picks will be awarded for each race.
