I believe it's just like the football one, you pick drivers,only so many,can't have the same one every race, i think they are divided up into 3's. as in your A drivers then B drivers and C drivers. Your drivers come up good in the race you win points. In some you can win money but you have to pay, the one i did a few years back was free, i was way down the line in points position, then again there were thousands of people in it, hope that helps somewhat but then again, i'm not sure what i'm talking about most of the time. :lol:

You explained it well but on the Fantasy League I belong to(SnapOn Tools sponsors it) we also have a D category plus for a Tiebreaker you're required to put down an Average Race Speed.
The Prizes are pretty nice if you win-For having the best score for the Week they have stuff like Autographed Lithographs and if you're the winner for the Entire year the Prize has usually been Winning so many days at Racing School in California(I think).
Stiff competition though-There's thousands you're competing against and I forgot to add it's for Free.

All that has been said has some truth in it.. We can all make the decision ourselves but truth be known, Jr. accepted what happened including wishing Vickers well after winning. He knows all about getting over-anxious about closing time... The fans are normally pretty educated and understand that payback within the driver ranks will occur even with the softest touch (@190mph). That's racin" Not fans acting like hooligans @ a Soccer match.. Want to give racin a bad name ... Keep fan lunacy @ a minimum and the sport flourishes... Man, I lOVE THIS SPORT!!!!

I used to do the Yahoo! Fantasy League for Nascar. Set it up with 3 levels of drivers to pick. Had to pick 1 from the A list, and I think 2 from the B and C list. Wherever your drivers finished in the race, they got you the same amount of points that NASCAR awards them. So if a driver you had lead most laps and won, you got 190 points for that driver which is the same NASCAR gives to the drivers in reality. If a driver finished 43rd without leading laps, you got the same number of points as what NASCAR gives for the 43rd place driver. Add all your points up for the weekend and there ya go. Some leagues set up brackets just like in Fantasy Football, where you go head to head with other "driver owners" or you just play straight up, go for max points and that's your winner at the end of the season.

I'm not sure but wasn't it Ken Schrader that hit Sr not Marlin.



Also this is the only pic I could find of the Vickers, JR, and JJ wreck.

yeah-Kenny hit him and that photo of JJ-Jr., and Vickers is a bit deceptive-
JJ was coming down to pass Jr. on the Inside when Vickers clipped JJ's Right Rear.
That photo makes it look like JJ plowed into Jr.

You rednecks. How do you guys get into NASCAR? Seems like all they do is turn left for 400+ laps or whatever.

TURN LEFT JIMBOB
