CMJ Nascar Challenge 2015

We will do the Nascar Challenge again after a successful 2014 trial run.  LooseLugs took the title of Champion in the last race of the season and won the very coveted trophy as well as some gift cards to Buffalo Wild Wings.  Let me know who's in so I can get the spreadsheet ready!

As reigning champion I would be glad to come back to defend my title.But this coveted trophy is staying with me!

Here's a rules recap

Each race, you will pick 2 drivers.  One driver will be the driver that you think will have the best finish.  The other driver will be the driver that you think will have the worse finish.  You have to specify which driver you want to be your best finish, and what driver you want to be the worse finish.

For Example:  Your picks for the first race might be:  Jimmie Johnson, Joe Nemchek with Jimmie being the best finish, and Nemechek being the worse finish.

The points awarded will work like this.  If there are 42 drivers entered in the race then that will be the maximum points that each driver can earn.  

If your best driver finishes first, you earn 42 points.  Second earns 41, third earns 40 and so on.  
If your worse driver finishes 42nd, you earn 42 points.  41st earns 41 points, 40th earns 40 points and so on.  
The two point totals are combined and that will be your score for the week.  If your best driver wins, you get a 5 point bonus.  If your worse driver finishes last you get a 5 point bonus.  However, if your best driver finishes last you get a -5 point deduction.  If your worse driver wins you get a -5 point deduction.

I will use NASCAR.com to determine official race results.  If one of your cars fails inspection, your driver will be scored as a 0.

You can make your picks anytime after qualifying, and before the green flag, but YOU CAN ONLY PICK A DRIVER ONCE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON!!!  Once you pick a driver, you can't use him anymore in that category.  However, you can pick a driver once in each category.

Each week post your picks from previous weeks so I can keep track of what drivers have been used, and which ones haven't.  I recommend keeping your drivers on a Word Document or something like that and then copy and paste every week.  Keep your best and worse drivers separated as well.  

For example, for the fifth week your posted picks should look something like this:



BEST:  Jimmie Johnson, Brad K, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon
WORSE: Landon Cassill, Danica, Nemechek, Trevor Bayne

Picks this week:  BEST: Clint Bowyer  WORSE: Michael Annett


We will reset the picks when the Chase starts, but not the points.  So when the Chase starts you will be able to use every driver again.  So if you have used your Brad Keselowski start in the regular season, you will be able to use him again in the Chase.

This is a all year pool that is pretty good to play in.

Id love to get in this year alangrrbs ..... Let me know what I have to do thanks

You just did

Follow the directions up top on posting drivers in the threads, and you're in.  We did a trial run in the Chase last season and it was awesome. 

I had a custom trophy made for the winner, and we sent the winner some Buffalo Wild Wings gift cards as well.  I'll let LooseLugs explain the trophy.  It's pretty awesome.  He will keep that one and the winner this year will get another custom piece.

Glad to have you on board! 

Stats, I'm assuming you're in as well?

We will start this AFTER Daytona by the way.  I don't want to start this years contest on a restrictor plate race.

The best way I can describe the trophy is ..its a peace of art..constructed with tye rod ends, gears, union joints ,ball bearings with a full can of coors light on top. You truly have to see this thing to appreciate it.

Thanks again alan. It actually sets on my dining room table so I can enjoy it every day.
