OK race fans, Daytona and the '09 season is just around the corner so it's that time again!
We had one of the biggest "private" leagues on Yahoo last season with 48 teams and in 5 years that was our largest league ever and I hope to have the maximum this year which is 50 teams so sign up early to reserve your spot in this year's field.
I won the title in '08 and have kept the trophy shined up. Will it be you that takes it home in '09? :D

I was surprised to see the drivers list lineup ... Stewart, Hamlin in the B list this year, there are 20 drivers in the B list and a ton in the C so it's better than in '08 where the B list was pretty short or at least it seemed short or slim pickings. The new interface on the driver selection screen has a real time percentage to show each drivers picked percentage for that week to help make your picks.
How to play:
It is simple to do and only takes a few minutes each week, here is what is involved each week:
Yahoo breaks the drivers into A, B & C classes. The Top 10 drivers in A, the next 20 drivers in B and the rest in C.
Before qualifying you pick 2 A list drivers, 4 B list drivers and 2 C list drivers and that is your "Team" for that week. After qualifying and before the start of the race you have to narrow it down to 1 A list driver, 2 B list drivers and 1 C list driver and that is your "Starters" for that week.
The top 4 positions in qualifying are awarded points with 10 for 1st, 5 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd & 1 for 4th. You get bonus points if any of your drivers leads a lap and if they lead the most laps.
You can only start a driver 9 times in one season. To start a driver means he is one of your final 4 drivers.
