Since I've been graciously asked to run the NASCAR pick'em for the 2006 season, I thought I'd make some suggestions and see what responses I get. I'll need a lot of input from as many of you who'll be participating as possible. Thanks.

(1) Postings will be listed for the pole winner and the top 5 separately. Picks for each will need to be in 1 hour before each (time trials and race).
(2) 20 points will be given to the people who correctly pick the pole winner and 25 points for picking the correct race winner.
(3) Pick a group of five "default" drivers that you'd like if you happen to not post your choices or you'll be given the 5 drivers from the previous week. (Note: you can have someone post your picks for you.)
(4) If a driver that you picked misses a race but someone else substitutes for him then you get the points for the number of the car that you picked.


Question- Do we want to do "THE CHASE" and still everyone would be able to play as it's done in NASCAR(i.e. have a particular number of points starting with the season winner and then deduct 5 or 10 points for each person)? When the top 10 are set after race 25 do we want to pick a top 5 group and get additional points for that or just do the regular 36 races and forget the "CHASE?"

Am open for suggestions.
Season starts on 19 Feb at Daytona.

I'm not in favor of the Chase format... but I'm cool with whatever everyone else wants to do.

Just thought I'd ask just in case some were interested. We can just do the 36 race thing and whoever the overall winner is, then they lay claim to that title. Sorry, no trophies or money!

Lets just do all the races and whoever is on top at the end is the winner. I like the idea of the default picks just incase you miss a week. Im am sooooooooo ready!!!!!!!! Not that Im any good, but its still fun!! LOL

I agree. Let's just do the whole season, and whoever is the winner is the winner. The default picks is a great idea too!

I'm ready. Watched the Rolex 24 over the weekend and I'm pumped up for some Nascar now!
