I'm signed up, but how does it work? I know with FF you have a draft but I've never done it with racing. Do you just pick one driver from the A B & C lists? Help me Billy, please help me!!! LOL

Okay BBB, here how it works. There isn't any draft, and you can pick different drivers for each race. At the beginning of the year they divide all the drivers into three groups...A, B, and C.

"A" group will be the 10 best drivers in Nascar who made the chase last season like Jimmy Johnson, Matt Kenseth, and Dale Earhardt Jr. You'll get to pick TWO of those for your team each week.

Next is "B" group. It's the largest pool of drivers to pick from. It has the drivers who did okay last season like Tony Stewart did last year, but not quite good enough to make the chase. You will select FOUR drivers from this group each week.

Last is group "C." These are your lower level drivers like Kyle Petty and Morgan Shepard, drivers who don't race the full schedule of races, like Bill Elliott and Boris Said, and road course specialists like Scott Pruett, who finished in the bottom third of the standings for whatever reason. You'll select TWO from this pack of dogs.

These aforementenioned picks must be made at least a day before each weeks qualifying sessions, which are usually held on Friday for a Sunday race, and Thursday for a Saturday night race, so pay attention to the schedule and select your drivers early in the week, or you'll get stuck with your last weeks drivers.

After qualifying, you the must select which drivers to "start" the race out of each group. ONE out of your two in "A" group, TWO out of your four in "B" group, and ONE out of your two in "C" group. This will give your team a final total of FOUR team drivers for the race.

You can chose your best qualifiers, or go with a driver you have a hunch will do well even though he qualified in the back of the field. This is where the skill comes in. It pays to know what drivers do well on which tracks.

I know it may sound complicated, but it's easy to get the hang of in a week or so. Make sure that when you select your drivers, hit the "SUBMIT" button on the bottom of the form so it officially enters your changes! Play around with it often the first week to make sure you get the hang of it early, and PM/e-mail me with any questions and I'll try to help. I'm pretty good at this and finished in the top 1% of all players on Yahoo last year, so I'm pretty sure I know how to do it! I only wish I did as well on my NFL football picks. I selected Baltimore and Philidelphia as my winning teams yesterday, and you saw how well that turned out!

There isn't really any cutoff per se, but I highly recommend that you register before the Daytona 500 in early Feburary. Missed races are points you can't make up! BTW, welcome aboard!
