NOL will probably have theirs this year, but there is another one that will have sign ups this month. It's the Budweiser fantasy game. I played this game last year and a couple people from here played it too. If they keep the same rules, this is how it went.
You pick 15 drivers and you rank them how they will finish in the race, from 1-15. (I believe you have til 8 p.m. the day before the race to make changes). Then after the race you get points by how well you did. For example, say my 15 drivers were the following, in this order:
1. Dale, Sr.
2. Dale, Jr.
3. Tony Stewart
4. Dale Jarrett
5. Jerry Nadeau
6. Bobby Labonte
7. Michael Waltrip
8. Ward Burton
9. Johnny Benson
10. Jeff Burton
11. Mark Martin
12. Rusty Wallace
13. Steve Park
14. Terry Labonte
15. Dave Blaney
Now, say that 10 of these drivers actually finished in the top 15. I would get 10 points each for that. If I had a driver that finished in the exact spot I picked him to finish, I would get 11 points each. One spot off, 7 points, two spots off 5. Plus, if Jr. finishes in the top 15 and you have him, you get a bonus. That bonus depends on how many points you scored for him, ex: 10 for finishing in the top 15 plus 5 cause he finished 4th and not 2nd. So that could be doubled and I would get an extra 15.
Budweiser does offer prizes each week and at the end of the segment. They divide it into two segments. It's not as hard as it sounds, but if you are interrested, just say so. Also, the picks carry over from week to week, unless you change them. But if there are any other changes to what I said, I will mention it.
