How does it work?
There are thousands of people signed up from around the country. Just pick the 10 drivers you think will finish 1st through 10th for each race
and your top 15 races count as your overall score for the grand prize in the national contest.
For the local contest the grand prize winner will be selected through a random drawing of all weekly winners. If you win more than one week your name will go into the drawing once for each week you win.
If a player has not selected any drivers 15 minutes before the TV start time, the computer
will automatically select last week's team for them. A player can change his or her team
each week, but if no changes are made the previous week's team will be the
default team.
Drivers are awarded fantasy points depending on how they finish
and the total fantasy points for all your drivers in the race becomes your score.

Are there prizes?
Yes. A local grand prize winner will receive a prize package that includes two tickets to the April 2010 Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway courtesy of PIR, a DVD set of Dale Earnhardt's 10 best races and an autographed poster featuring past Daytona 500 champions Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip, Sterling Marlin and Jimmie Johnson.
All weekly winners are eligible for the grand prize. The winner will be determined through a random drawing.
The overall leader at the halfway point, after the Lenox Industrial Tools 301, and the overall leader at the end of the season will also receive one of the autographed posters.
More prizes could be added throughout the season.
A national grand prize winner will receive a trip for two to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. There are also weekly national prizes. See all prizes.
Can I play with a "private group" of friends and family?
Yes. After you register and log in, just click on "My Private Groups" which will appear in the upper-left hand corner of the page. After that page loads, click on "Create a Private Group" and follow the instructions.
When will winners be posted?
Due to frequent updates to the final results by NASCAR, the winners will not be posted until Tuesdsay mornings at 6 a.m. MT.
Race results will be posted immediately after the race, but weekly winners will not be selected until later to allow time for the adjustments to be made.
