Perhaps you’ve had inspired to enter in a fantasy racing league. Fantasy NASCAR is for auto lovers, the greatest of all the Fantasy Sports offerings. In this game people become owners of their own NASCAR team, choosing drivers who then chip in points to the team founded on real life results. The point totals for each team in a league are sorted, with top point earners fetching various periods of times such as weekly or seasonal. After doing some research you will see that some leagues maybe free, while others charge entry fees, some offer gear as prizes, some pay out cash. Figuring out which one to join can be a big headache!

The 1980’s saw the birth of fantasy NASCAR, hot on the heels of fantasy football, and the 90’s saw volatile and massive growth as more people went online. NASCAR is one of the popular racing formats that have fantasy games based on it. Others include Formula One and Indy but seem small when compared to Nascar. Both season long leagues and leagues based on shorter time frames such as quarters or even months are popular with Fantasy NASCAR, for both people who want to vie over a long term and for people who may want to play for a shorter time. Again, the options available make it possible for a fan to participate no matter what your needs.

Fantasy NASCAR competitions each abide by their own unique rules The majority stick to NASCAR’s rules as far as assigning points to drivers based on their race results. Sometimes drivers who are selected by more people are restricted for fantasy play, their results only counting a certain number of times as sometimes a season can have a runaway winner so rules such as these make it even for others who chose badly. Other criteria such as quickest lap time or best overall average lap time, or total time in first place, become important for leagues that are based on fewer races. There are fantasy NASCAR leagues that solely rely on people predicting certain drivers’ order of finish for each race, or leagues that focus only on certain events. There are even leagues that are mixed leagues including NASCAR as well as other types of racing leagues, in which players must predict one or more races involving different types of cars each week.

NASCAR also hosts an official fantasy NASCAR league of its own in case you didn’t know. Owners receive $100 million dollars per race to put together their team. In this league owners face owners every week, with standings founded on the overall won/loss record. Every week is a new challenge as contenders work against each other to find the best racers that week. NASCAR charges $12.95 to play.
