A Monster Energy Nascar Challenge

[Eli's Gone]

My thoughts on next season:

This was my final season as scorekeeper

My suggestion is we move the contest online to NASCAR Fantasy Live--we did that with the golf and NFL laegues and it is working fine

https://fantasygames.nascar.com/live/page/rules

It's free---we can create a private league and compete against each other as usual---and I don't have to score it

in addition to your team being a member of our league, it will also be scored in the overall standings where there are cash prizes for the Daytona 500, playoffs, and overall season standings

Format is simple---pick 5 drivers per race along with 1 garage driver
you may use a driver 10 races during the regular season (1st 26 races)
starting the playoffs, your driver count resets and you can use a driver 5 times during the last 10 races

your picks automatically roll over each week---you can go in and change them(recommended)--this feature covers you if you forget to make picks

there is an overall season champ----a playoff champ---and a Daytona 500 champ

in addition each race there are 4 head-to-head driver matchups presented---you will pick each one as to which driver finishes better than the other--these bonus picks are worth 10 points each...the matchups change each week therefore your prior head-to-head picks don't roll over week to week

if you choose to let your picks roll over and a driver(s) has reached the 10 race use limit, that driver won't be scored that week..

there is a garage driver option each race---only your 5 drivers are scored and you may replace 1 each week with your garage driver before the end of stage 2---this helps if one of your guys crashes out early--the driver replaced is not scored---also only your 5 that finish count against their usage total

it's pretty straightforward and takes about 2 minutes to put your picks in each week--it's easier than my long-winded explanation
