Just joined, sent 100 for segment and 25 for weekly

**rob** · 02-23-14, 12:58 PM

Looks like we got 25.

**LT Profits** · 02-23-14, 12:58 PM

Bob the Greek (aka Miklos) makes 25!

**LT Profits** · 02-23-14, 01:00 PM

Actually Cabo may have been 25th, but no matter, we are there.

I tried denny but I have no idea

most NASCAR fans I don't think would know the best pitcrews. They are only noticed when they screw up big time

people just know which drivers have success

maybe their crappy site is overloaded

The site is moving ok for me, but it sucks you have to do one driver at a time. Not like the ESPN one, where you can swap out drivers on one page on the fly.

finally got my team reset, based on 1 single strategy, hope it works in this crapshoot. Added 3 streak teams too all with guys I figure have a chance at a plate track but I wouldn't pick anywhere else.

GL everybody!

**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 01:34 PM

So did we get the 25 players we needed or not???

**rob** · 02-23-14, 01:40 PM

Just checked my team and it says I won't get any points due to an invalid roster. It doesn't show any of my picks. Not sure what I did wrong...

**CarolinaDaze** · 02-23-14, 01:42 PM

Looks like THE LIVE RACE RESULTS at contest site is working. Optional is the leader so far.

Yes we did. Exactly 25. Thanks to whoever joined late.

That sucks.

They do have a leaderboard. And I like it!

Dang Rob, did you pick a Pit Crew & A Car Manufacturer to win?

Yep

**Optional** · 02-23-14, 01:49 PM

The place differential looks like it is going to be big this year.

Might be good to try to pick drivers that qualify badly

**rob** · 02-23-14, 01:49 PM

OK...I think I'm in. Not sure why I got that message. Gotta figure this website out...

Extra points for a spin and aiming the wrong way?

how to earn the points in each of the sections to come up with out total

I haven't read any of the rules yet.

I'd like the leaderboard better if it actually updated.

**yisman** · 02-23-14, 02:05 PM

I thought we were just picking drivers to do well in the race. Apparently place differential counts? Does that mean if you pick the pole winner and he finishes 5th, you get -4?

This is pretty damn stupid, even for NASCAR

Laps Led:
Total number of laps led divided by 2. Example: If Carl Edwards lead 70 laps, he would earn 35 points. NASCAR Timing & Scoring will be the official source of this statistical category.
Fastest Laps:
Total number of fastest laps divided by 2. Example: If Denny Hamlin recorded 50 fastest laps, he would earn 25 points. NASCAR Timing & Scoring will be the official source of this statistical category.
Place Differential:
Starting position (based on official qualifying order) minus finish position, +/- 1 point for each driver’s place differential. Example: If Jimmie Johnson started 7th but finished 1st, his place differential would be +6, and he would earn 6 points. If Jeff Gordon started 6th and finished 10th, his place differential would be -4, earning him -4 points.
Finishing Position:
1st place gets 46 points, 2nd place gets 42, 3rd place gets 41, 4th place gets 40 points and so on in decrements of one point per position, with 43rd place earning 1 point. The Game will be scored based on the final Race results tabulated by NASCAR Timing and Scoring
Bonus Points - Car Manufacturer:
10-point bonus for picking the winning car manufacturer for that week. Selection DOES NOT carry over from week to week; a new pick must be made each Race.
Bonus Points - Pit Crew:
10-point bonus for picking a Top-5 pit crew (based on positions gained/lost on pit road)

had I known this, I would've just picked all the good drivers starting at the rear.

We shouldn't be surprised

Definitely looks like a decent strategy. There is 70+ points difference between the best and worst score in that category on our leaderboard.

**onlooker** · 02-23-14, 02:10 PM

Oh damn. I should of read rules. Would of picked all strong drivers from the rear like Yisman said. Oh well.
