Also seeing if there's any interest in this as well. I can set up a league for this if there's enough people who want to play.
BUMP
Randomly, how does it work?
You pick five drivers per race with a limit of $100 spending (the top guys are around $25-$28). You also pick a pit crew and a manufacturer (Chevy, Ford, Toyota) for each race. You get bonus points if your pit crew and/or manufacturer are the top scorers for the race (pit crew) or win the race (manufacturer).
Sounds like the old F1 one I used to do.
Yeah I'm down if there's enough interest

Awesome :)
Bump, NASCAR starts in a week. Need to see if there's any more interest so I can get this set up before the race next Sunday.
Happy to do a 1 on 1 season...
Where's BD when you need him?!
Created a league, Blade. If you or anyone else wants to join they can click on the link, sign up, and fill out your entries. Deadline for the season starting is Sunday at 10 am EST although the window usually closes 15 minutes beforehand sometimes so get your entries in early.

Done it...
Is this one where I pick a different lineup for every race? Or do they carry over to the next one?
They carry over except for the manufacturer and pit crew.
There's also a Streak the to Finish game where you select one driver per race and you get points depending upon if your driver finishes and their finish position.

Posting this since it MAY effect the race tomorrow if Kyle Busch cannot race. Kurt Busch his brother is also unavailable due to his indefinite suspension by NASCAR.

Yeah Kyle Busch is ruled out for the race tomorrow so if you have him on your team Blade you'll need to switch him out.
Yeah, I didn't have either.
Downloaded the nascar app so I get notifications on races. Only downside is that you can't adjust the team in it, you still have to go through a browser

I had Kyle on my team so that's why I mentionned it. Didn't want you losing points because of it. He's going to miss almost the entire season because of this.
I have no idea how that scoring system worked, going to research it a little bit more..
However, the guys i picked seem to smash it this week!
My team did okay. Four of my five finished in the top 25.
I went off names and colours of kit!
Thats because my knowledge sucks
But I had Logano (1) Dale Jr (3) Mears (6) Dillon (14) Stenhouse Jr (29)
and Daler Jr and Ford as bonus points.
I swear when I was adjusting it earlier I also put Hamlin in, but either I dreamt it and I didnt, or It didnt take.
Bring on the next race!
Yeah that's a good roster. I also had Mears and Dillon. I also had Edwards, Truex, Jr., and Larson.
Just a remind that line ups are due before the race tomorrow morning. :)
Didnt realise there were two races so close together!
Happy with what Ive done so far, although the trades i made the racers i dropped did better than the ones I added this week! For saying I have never watched a Nascar race in my life, happy to only be 12 points behind!
Oh and happy B'day for yesterday buddy!
Nascar races are generally every weekend during its season, I think.

Yeah but for some reason when I logged on to the fantasy site on Monday morning, it autolocked my line up and i thought there was another one within 24 hours. Hopefully I can reset some picks for this weekend.

Awesome, hope you had a good time. Was that the race with the huge pile up? or was that the previous one? Like I say, don't watch, but I get the notifications on my phone.
Going to have to find a channel that shows it because I guess it would be worth a watch, or im going to have to find a stream. That way I may have a clue about what Im doing!

Yeah they lock after the race on Sunday is scheduled to begin. You should be able to reset this week.

Yeah the race was fun. The race with the pile up was the previous one. There weren't too many wrecks at the race I went to. I follow them on the NASCAR website, Youtube channel, and the races on Fox, NBC, and ESPN.
Edwards spins after contact with Kahne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH6mY5xmAGA#ws)
Johnson has multiple tire problems (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVxAQQyaoVI#ws)
Harvick finally wins at Las Vegas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UmgGf99iQY#ws)
Those are the best videos from their Youtube feed. I was sitting near where the second Johnson wreck happened. The next two weeks are also out west as part of the new NASCAR Goes West tour that they are starting this year.
Something new Blade. I'm going to post the race preview shows with previews and predictions about the race. Here's the one for Phoenix.

Here's the full video of the race that I went to, the Kobalt 400.
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series - Full Race - Kobalt 400 at Vegas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2o2izC8ydI#noexternalembed-ws)
Am watching those is bits! thanks for that, at least its some insight for me.
I missed the lock in this week so didnt get my bonus picks in, I forgot and when I went to do it it was too late. However, I didn't have a too bad a week so am keeping the pressure on!
About 60 points in it I believe, which with a few tweaks and a bit of luck, Ill make that up no problem :)
The race this weekend was crazy. It's always a wreck fest at Martinsville. I didn't get a chance to see how I did since I have no wifi where I'm staying this week. I'll try checking on the NASCAR app though.
Got it working. You got 86.2 points and I got 82 points for the race. :)
Something to take note of Blade. I have Newman on my team so posting this since I don't know if it'll effect points in the game but Newman will not have his crew chief going forward after the heavy fine and suspension for altering tires.

The race is Saturday night this week, Blade. Just an FYI. :)
Already ahead of you. I set it last Saturday, not realising there was no race lol
So it's been sat waiting for a while this time!
Fuck dale Jr! The week I drop him, he comes 3rd!

That's why I never play him. I finally dropped Austin Dillon and Ryan Newman from my team this week. Turned out to be a good move on both.
Think I dropped him for Hamlin, who finished nowhere!
I switched in Edwards and Allmendinger who only finished a combined four spots ahead of the guys I dropped. At least Logano is still on fire for me.
Was there a crash on Sunday or something?
Just checked into it and I had -51pts and none of my drivers finished above 33
Lol I got 86 points with only three drivers finishing decently.

Talladega race is tomorrow, Blade. This is one of the biggest races of the season.

I'm all over it this week!
You had a bad week!
I beat you by 50 points... 200 behind you though! dropped hamlin for Johnson i think....
Chose to stick with Logano instead of Dale Jr and that was a mistake! WTF has happened to Logano? He has had last couple of races 30+

Here's what happened to Logano which messed up my week and completely wrecked my team points literally...
https://youtube.com/devicesupport (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKY3scPIMd8#ws)
I had finishers 30-31 which also helped with that but my two who survived that wreck without being involved in it scored me a bunch of points which saved me.
Race is tomorrow night, Blade. My boy Logano is on the pole again. 4th time this season. :)
Missed my bonus point picks again!
fortunately, I didnt have time to tinker, and if the results stand then I had 1st, 3rd and 6th which helped!
Still playing catch up
I had 5th, 9th, 11th, 19th, and 20th. Logano's end of the race comeback got me some extra points at the end.
Excellent news, Blade. My boy Kyle Busch is back this week. Also it's the NASCAR All Star Race this week. Don't know if it will be scored BUT I did find another game we can do. Fantasy Indycar from the Indycar Series. Interested in doing that starting with the Indianapolis 500?
Racing is back this weekend, Blade. :)
Found something you might like, Blade.
