2010 NASCAR.com Fantasy Games

2010 May 04

Three new games are underway on NASCAR.com for the 2010 season. Powered by your friends at Sports Technologies.

• Nationwide Eliminator Challenge

  The object of the game is simple: choose the driver you believe will have the best finish in each Nationwide Series race. Each driver can be used one time for any race throughout the full Nationwide Series schedule. But, as added incentive, five of your previously-selected drivers can be used a second time as part of your Nationwide Insurance Pick.

  Scoring for the game will be as follows: for each Nationwide Series race, you will earn your selected driversâ?? actual Nationwide Series points. Double points will be awarded to your selection for each of the Dash for the Cash races.

• Streak to the Finish

  For each race in which you correctly predict a top-10 finisher, you will earn that driver's actual Sprint Cup points. If you correctly predict a top-10 finisher in the next race, you're streak grows to two and you'll earn twenty bonus points. But if your selected driver fails to finish in the top-10, you're streak reverts to zero. As long as you keep your streak going, you will earn [streak length*10] bonus points.

• Fantasy Face-off

  The object is to choose the driver who will have a higher finish in each driver matchup and gain the most points for each pick. First you select the driver you think will prevail for each matchup, and then place the matchup somewhere on the â??confidenceâ? scale to assign points. So, if you think a particular matchup is a â??no-brainerâ?, rate it at 10 on the confidence scale to get the most points. Not so sure? Place it near the bottom and play it safe. Here are the specifics:

  Each entrant will be awarded points for each correct pick received for a matchup listed for each Sprint Cup race. Each entrant will assign his/her confidence factor (numeric number, e.g., 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or10) based on his/her confidence of the driverâ??s ability to win the matchup (have a higher finish).

  For example, if you correctly pick the winner of the matchup in which you applied 10 Confidence Factor, youâ??d score 10 points for that game. Contestants must apply all 10 different confidence factors to the 10 matchups. You will also have the opportunity to delete or change your confidence factor. However, Confidence factors cannot be repeated or used more than once. No points will be awarded for an incorrect pick. The maximum number of points that can be earned for the Contest Entry Period is 55.
