hey gang, Feb 6 you can pick your starting teams! League iboats will be back again for another year of friendly banter and competition. Hope to see ALL of you in the league! Good luck with your picks... big changes this year with drivers on different teams, or not at all. Have fun!

A different game this year;

FYI...with the new rule changes we will get to pick the driver that we think will win the pole. With this being said...your pole winner pick will need to be made BEFORE qualifying begins...the 11th (?) I believe.

Looks like a lot of work to be in a Fantasy League. It won't let me in yet but I'll try again later.

I missed seeing the bonus point(s) for picking the pole winner. Mmmmm.

I was able to get in this morning, but changing drivers wasn't possible. I had to pick what they gave me and could only pick Truex Jr for pole, all stages and win. NASCAR making thing better again...:doh:

They haven't released the entry list and that's needed before you can do much of anything. I see problems coming with the new format, hope I'm wrong.

Fantasy Nascar, fascinating. I read where millennials will not have any favorite teams or individual athletes in individual sports such as Golf and Tennis. Since they have been playing in fantasy leagues their entire lives and cheering for different teams, players etc. game to game, week to week they will never be a fan of any individual team or player. Sounds logical to me. They predict a 20% or more drop in attendance to all pro team sports ticket sales in the near future. I don't do fantasy leagues, too complicated for this guy that took his first computer class in 1972, all I remember is yes/go to, no/go to. No kids at home to mentor me. I'll stick to my Pro Line bets here in Ontario, legaI sports wagering. I sure should have paid more attention in that cumpuder class.

Good luck to all and have fun. I will be watching with the surround sound cranked for the 500. I have been 4 times to Daytona and once to the Indy. Nothing like it. Kind of like the Super Bowl or a game 7 as the 1st game of the year. Try explaining that one to a layman.

C`mon Iron and join us...it is all for fun...we :boink: and :bump2: each other all for laughs.

Sign up and humiliate us, Iron. We can take it cuz we're used to it. LOL

The entry list has been posted so you can start making picks at Fantasy Live. The 1st timed pick is for the pole winner, which cuts off about 12 Noon EST Sunday.

Doesn't seem like a dollar value on it any more ...

Nope...no dollar cap...however....we can ONLY pick the SAME Driver 10 Times in the first 26 Races. Not sure what happens after the first 26...?

 

[FlaCowboy]

One thing I Do Like...we get to have a driver on the bench ( garage driver ) and we can replace a driver ( slacker ) during the race.

 

[sam60]

I just updated picks. It's a bit weird this year. Good luck and good picking to all! :car:

 

[FlaCowboy]

Cars are on Track...Practice for Qualifying.

Maybe a playoff only game is coming? :noidea:

Yep...that is what I am thinking.

We have driver changes, crew chief changes, body style changes, teams changing manufactures and changes to the pre race inspections ( :facepalm: ) changes to the Fantasy Points System....

I already have a headache trying to get up to speed with the changes...

In for getting banged and bumped for another year. Missed the opportunity for the 5pt pole bonus, but can say honestly I would have never picked the New 88.

I think use of drivers for 10 picks only will be interesting and require some good "strategery".

Luck to all, it may be good or bad.
