With the 2011 NASCAR season underway, I have signed up for a NASCAR fantasy team for the second time in a row. Though this time it is with members from Jeff Gordon's official website fanforum and has more members that I had with my cousin's team which was only the three of us (though I was the winner of the team of three. Not so bad on my first try.) Though sadly, didn't fare too well on the first race of the season since all four of my starters were involved in accidents throughout the race. Well tonight I got to thinking that it would be neat to start a team of my own if I could find people interested in doing so. It is no big deal if I don't either, since I am a part of another team. Just thought I'd post here and see if anyone would be interested... It is on Yahoo and it is free to join and play. You don't recieve anything for winning, but a congradulations...it is all for FUN. For all that is somewhat interested, here are some of the rules or how it works: *Every week you chose eight drivers to be in your team that week (or if you don't change it the next week, it will stay with last week's picks.) * Four of the drivers are starters, the other four are bench drivers. The starter drivers you will get points for where they qualify at, for laps led, and where they finish the race at. Whereas the bench drivers will get you points for where they qualify at ... so for them it don't matter if they finish first or last or if the led a lap. *There are three groups of drivers. Group A (the more seasoned drivers, drivers that win more...) Group B (drivers that are good, but don't win as often) and Group C (the underdog drivers...the rookies and the drivers that you don't think of to win races.) *From Group A you pick one starter driver and one bench driver. From Group B you pick two starters and two bench. From Group C you pick one starter, one bench. On Yahoo they do have driver stats and expert picks that you can use from race to race - though it don't neccesarily mean a great finish (For an example, here is what my team consisted of last week for Daytona: Group A: Jeff Gordon (S) Jimmie Johnson ( Group B: Dale Jr (S) Jamie McMurray (S) Ryan Newman ( AJ Allmendinger ( Group C: Michael Waltrip (S) Paul Menard () I have picked different drivers for this upcoming race, drivers I think will do good at Phoenix. *For starters, you can only use a driver nine times (Bummer, I know. I'd love to use Gordon all 36 races...oh well. ) That is all I can think of as rules right now...I find it fun and entertaining. It gives me more than just Gordon, Johnson, and Jr to follow throughout the whole race. So if anyone is interested or have questions please post them here or PM them to me soon so I can get it started. We missed a race, but it's all in fun after all. They give you a date and time that you have to pick your drivers by and for this week it is early Sat. morning...so we will most likely miss this upcoming race too unless I get a couple of people that are interested by tomorrow night. I was thinking, if there are people interested and I do create a team, that I would call our team: HAZZARD COUNTY RACING TEAM. If I only get a couple of people interested, I will probably leave it public, but if more people are interested, perhaps make it a private team. My last year's team only consisted of three players and it was still fun. Just let me know what y'all think .
