I have played in this for a few years. If you choose one or two lower tier drivers each week its not an issue. Some races you can load up your lineup with top drivers and still not have to worry at the end of the season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nospk 230 Posted February 14, 2020 You also start each race with one driver in your garage. You can swap him in during the race before the end of stage 2, after that your lineup is locked til the end 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have also played if it was a bit less involved. I don't follow NASCA that closely either. I did something once with family where each week we drafted a team of drivers and got points based on how they finished, and if you picked the winning driver that week you got -5 points. Lowest score obviously won each week and we just kept a tally for the season. That seemed to work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically you pick 5 drivers and an alternate you can plug in if one of your starters wrecks or goes a couple of laps down. You don't even need to do that if you don't want to. The stage winner bonus is just that, a bonus. It's all a crap shoot anyway. You can pick one of your drivers or pick somebody else you don't want to spend a start on but think they'll run up front. Like BL said, you can pick Toyota every week for the manufacturer bonus. You won't get the bonus every week but you'll be right often enough to just let it ride. It's not like we're playing for money. It's just for shits and giggles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You won't get penalized if you don't do it but you'll miss out on potential bonus points. You may as well just pick names out of a hat and fill in the spots. You might get lucky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can pick any drivers. You can only use each driver 10 times during the regular season. It resets to 5 times per driver on the playoffs. The bonus picks at the bottom does NOT count as a driver pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nospk 230 Posted February 15, 2020 You can also leave the same lineup in from one week to the next, like if you forget to change it from the previous race. It will keep the lineup you had until you change it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
