Get Ready to Put the Pedal to the Metal with NASCAR Fantasy Racing!

NASCAR is one of the most popular sports in the United States and each season brings excitement, thrills, and some very close finishes. But what if you wanted to get even closer to the action? Enter NASCAR fantasy racing. With this guide, you’ll be ready to pick your drivers and put them on track for a wild ride that will have you cheering from your living room.

What Is NASCAR Fantasy Racing?


NASCAR fantasy racing is a game where players compete against each other by assembling their own teams of real-life drivers from the series. Points are earned based on how well those drivers perform in races throughout the year. The goal is to accumulate as many points as possible over the course of an entire season. Players can join leagues or play solo and there’s no limit on how long they can play or how much they want to invest in it.

How Does It Work?


The first step is picking a driver lineup for your team, which consists of five drivers total—one primary driver and four backups. Your lineup must include at least one driver from each manufacturer—Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Dodge, or other—as well as at least one rookie driver (if applicable). You can also make up to two trades per week during the regular season and one trade during the off-season. The goal is to assemble a team that will score as many points as possible throughout the course of a race weekend or entire season.  Points are given for qualifying position, laps led, fastest laps run, place differential (the difference between where a car starts and where it finishes), etc., so it pays off to pay attention!

Your Lineup Matters


When picking your lineup for any race weekend, consider which drivers have been performing well lately; who has had success at certain tracks; who has good speed; and who has had success in similar weather conditions recently. All these factors go into choosing a successful lineup that will put you ahead of your competition when all is said and done! Make sure you research as much information about drivers before selecting them so that you know what kind of performance you should expect from them on race day. 

Ready to hit the track? With this guide under your belt and some careful research into current Nascar drivers’ performances, you’re ready to jump into fantasy racing and start competing with fans around the country! Whether you join an existing league or create your own custom league with friends or family members, fantasy racing is sure to add an extra level of excitement when watching races this season!  Fantasy Guru provides insights so you can win your fantasy NASCAR league. So get ready – it’s time to pick those drivers…it’s go time!
