Fantasy NASCAR is an auto racing league running from late February to late November each year. Interestingly, NASCAR is the only sport which begins its season with its biggest event, the Daytona 500, every February. This is also the first event of the fantasy NASCAR season.
Like fantasy golf, fantasy owners in NASCAR choose drivers from three tiers. One difference is that each owner is permitted to choose a team of eight drivers before each race, but you can only use four of these drivers for your race. Again, multiple owners in the same league can own the same driver. Also like in golf, drivers are only permitted a certain number of races each season (usually eight to eleven), so you must choose carefully when to use your drivers.
Drivers are scored on their performance in each race. Generally the top 40 to 50 finishers are given points based on their order of finish. Drivers are awarded bonus points for their positions after qualifying, with the top four to six positions scoring. Most sites also offer bonus points for drivers who lead at least one lap during the race.
