NASCAR Nationwide Series: Eliminator Challenge

2010 May 04

I know what you're thinking, 'Fantasy NASCAR? How bored do you have to be to play Fantasy NASCAR?' Well, turns out you are that bored so you'll want to give it a try. So, you sign up and realize that they're giving away your choice of a 2010 Ford Mustang, Toyota Camry, Dodge Challenger, or Chevy Impala.

OK, so you decide that you can get behind a free whip, so you'll need pick a driver for the Camping World 300 at Daytona on Saturday, February 13, 2010. To your amazement, Sprint Cup Series driver, Kyle Busch also races the Nationwide Series and—look at that—he's the defending series champion! There's a solid pick to get you started on the path toward your new car. And don't worry, your pick is not in vain if—Heaven forbid— Kyle knocks the fender in or runs out of fuel on the final lap. You're granted amnesty in the form of 5 Nationwide Insurance picks, so you can choose the champ again later in the season, and do the same with 4 other drivers.

Then you realize that the inevitable has come. You find yourself in front of the TV watching—and cheering—during a NASCAR race. And hell, it's a good time! And you realize that you've never actually given NASCAR a honest chance, and that it's not "just turning left". And as your driver crosses the line under the checkered flag, in between fist-pumps, you're wondering whom to pick next week. Where are they next week? Fontana? See ya there!
