Its that time of year again. Time to start thinking about your team for this years version of the Yahoo NASCAR fantasy league.

Same rules apply as in previous years... If you meet a player higher in points at the track (ANY form of motorsport) during the season, you are obligated to buy/provide for them a beverage of their liking. If they decline the offer, they forfeit the offer by default and no further action is necessary at that event weekend. (Thanks manic, you wrote it so much better that i did, so i borrowed your version :D)

Rockin' deal, dc.

I "condensed" the original deal to a one-race, one-person deal due to the economy, but as things get better, if you meet #8-11 in points and you're 12th, it's only right that you should buy ALL of them a beer, but that's just me talkin'. ;)

ElliFIno is runnin' lean on E-10! :laugh:

Thanks for pulling the duty. Don't hesitate to backhand 'em if anyone oversteps your authority!! :rofl: (advice from a former commish...LOL!)

Due to the peculiarities of qualifying at Daytona, there is still time to enter a team for the start of the season.

Deadline for entering a team for the Daytona 500 is 1:25pm EST on race day.

When I signed up I remember setting a roster, but it must have gotten deleted somehow. :irked:

remember to hit the "save roster" button at the bottom of the page, trish..

No shame involved.. I'm man enough to admit I've done it a time or two. ;)


BTW, WW and son appear to be absent, but by my math, 50% of the league's former champions are playing this year.

Just thoughts from the top of the grid (at present)

Don't worry, Trish, I didn't either. I just joined. I figger you folks who know about racin and rubbin should NOT come in last so I'll aim for that. I mean I thought I picked Casey Kahan (sp?) but I picked Matt Kenseth (sp?). I got them confused because their names are so similar. Bwaahaaahaaa. :shakehead But now I'm pizzed. I COULDA been a contenda!

So reshuffled my line up. I've read the points stuff several times and it doesn't make sense to me in relation to the (pitiful) number of points I got. Seriously, I am trying to make picks based on who won, average start/finish, etc. but I just realized that my lack of skill will bring down the overall team standing. If this is a concern, I'll see if dc can arrange a dnf for me.

Just a reminder that the deadline to select your drivers is May 24 2:00am PDT. This is a day earlier than usual.

You're right, Trish. I'm moving on up. My new chant is, "We're number 10!" At least for the moment. Looking at the scores, I see I'm a solid mid-packer most weeks so watch out next year guys. If I start on time I could be a real threat. :rofl:

Thanks for the reminder dcracer but I always make my picks as soon as I get the email reminder. The downside to that is that someone might be out between then and the race and I wouldn't know. There is a limit to my NASCAR attention span, after all.

The final10 before the "fabricated" chase, and our esteemed commishoner has the segment win.

Nicely done, sir! If you end up on the "left coast", LMK and I'll be one of the first in line vying for the shot at buying you a beer! ;)

This one is a "carryover" rule from the 7G days by our own racermike: :"IF you are at the track and you meet someone higher in points than you, you are obligsted to provide their choice of beverage"... I'll make it public.

Cheers, my friend! :thumbup:

I still have zero wins for the season, but came within a point at Richmond.

Maybe I can step up my game for the playoffs......or not.

I missed the first two completely because I registered late. Two weeks of zero points was hard to overcome even though I won 3 out of the next 4 :eek: Then I completely fizzled. I blame it all on a series of poor pit stops. Or a shoe on the track. Or because my attention was required elsewhere. I do make an effort but as a non-fan, sometimes it's more effort than I want to make. :gomer: Fun though. Thanks for letting me play along. :thumbup: Oh, and kudos to dc. I'll be right behind manic to buy that beverage of choice.

I guess the race for the cup hasn't grabbed all our players. A few guys aren't making your picks. C'mon. Even if you missed a few weeks so you won't win the chase, you can always look at your score week by week to see how you did and who you beat.
