My NASCAR fantasy group

[Yeagermeister]

Yes I know it's not a real sport and EVERY other form of racing is better and all the do is drive in circles and anyone could do that

Ok now that that is out of the way


Who wants to join my allsome group?

Group ID is 9448 and the password awesome

A few of you played in mine last year so I expect to see you there again.

 

[YosemiteSam]

NASCAR = Trailer Park sport.

Well I think you know I am not into nascar but I will leave the generalities be since you covered most.

I do have a question though. Do they only score on placement/finishes of races?

I mean in Football you have different scoring ways. Yards, INTs and so on. Is it just the finish for a driver. And also do you just get to pick one driver.

I don't know how that works but it would seem like it would be a limited fantasy type game.

 

[YosemiteSam]

BP, I think they get extra points depending on how many teeth they are missing.

I think that is part of the scoring in the unofficial Hillbilly fantasy league.

Ahh, maybe I'm wrong then. I though it was part of the official Redneck (ie NASCAR) league. :laugh2:

Each week, before qualifying begins, you choose an eight-driver team from among three groupings of eligible drivers. Then, before the race, you select four starting drivers for your team.
So, the challenge is not only to pick the best team race in and race out, but also to manage your team in a way that produces the highest possible fantasy score.
Available drivers are divided into three groups—A, B, and C—prior to the beginning of the racing season. A Group is elite drivers, C Group are the scrubs.
You must choose an eight-man squad that includes two members from the A List, four from the B List, and two from the C List.
Before each race, you must activate a squad of four starting drivers on your Team page. This active group of Starters must include one driver from the A List, two from the B List, and one from the C List. The rest of your team members are on the Bench, who don't score fantasy points (except for qualifying bonus points). You can only start a driver a maximum of 9 times throughout the 36 race schedule, so you have to use some strategy.

Each driver can receive a maximum of 90 fantasy points during each race. The top 45 finishers receive points, with the winning driver getting the maximum 90, and other drivers receiving 2 fewer points for every spot they finish behind the leader (e.g., the second-place driver gets 88 points, the third-place driver gets 86).

You receive the total points earned by all active drivers on your team provided that they haven't already been active in nine races. Bonus points are awarded to each of the drivers with the 4 best starting positions after qualifying. The top qualifier receives 10 bonus points, the second receives 5, the third receives 3 and the fourth receives 1. Because qualifying for Daytona 500 is broken up over 2 days, these bonus points are not awarded for the Daytona 500.

An additional 10 bonus points are awarded to each driver who leads at least 1 lap during a race. The driver leading the most laps during a race also earns another 10 bonus points. To earn these bonus points for your fantasy team, a driver must be on your team and active during the race.

Thanks for the info.

So any person with a team could choose the same drivers for a race?

Or is each week like a new draft where say one person gets Jimmy Johnson and the others can not use him for their A group.

I don't know why I ask. I don't care for nascar nor would I want to do a nascar fantasy league but I do find it curious how one could work for this sport as it is different...not so much a team sport (although they do have teams) as the other major sports.

Do you need to be a redneck?

Yes, you can end up with the same drivers as others in the league, but it changes every week. Plus, since you can only use a driver 9 times, then it is not common for a team to have the same lineup in any given week.

Redneck is a misnomer these days, since our mullet's keep our neck lily white.
