Fantasy Nascar thread, Should we??

[Griffin8s]

Ok, I will be looking for some help as I am getting killed in my fantasy league. I have been in the money for the last 3 seasons in the league and this year I can't get nothing going, in last place out of 8. (Most of them don't even watch Nascar) I know very SAD! Every driver I pick has trouble that race. My weekly picks in the threads have been hitting ok but my fantasy teams really suck ass. So I have decided to open a thread for fantasy picks. (Hope it's ok with Jack) I know that many are in the MJ league and may not want to disclose their driver's but that league is not done for money that I know of. The one I'm in does play for money and pays 1st and 2nd at the end of the 3 sections Spring/Summer/Fall. So give me your thoughts on if we should have a fantasy thread to help each other out and discuss possible driver pick while keeping in mind the rules set forth by the fantasy site.

I have been terrible the last 3 or 4 weeks in my fantasy leagues as well.
Not enough people post for Nascar on here to have much more of a discussion than what we already have each week.

I'd like to get up in a pay league if it's not too late this year or next year if it is. Do they start fresh when the chase starts? what are the buy in for you guys?

Well the Daytona thread got right 150 views but only 3-4 of us posted anything in it. Each week I try to encourage more to post their thoughts and opinions just as Ax did in his NBA thread. But nobody says anything which doesn't make me upset but I don't have all the answers or angles for each race and like to hear what others have to say. So I thought maybe there are more people on here in the fantasy league on yahoo that would like to talk about picks for the race. That can also lead to more people posting pick's to win the race as we have been doing for the last 2 month's. Funny thing between the 2 of us we have been doing pretty good. U even better then me, I have to work on more matchups to get better.

So, who do we like for Chicago? Stewart good there but I only have about 5 uses let on him and trying to save for the chase. The way it should work is if everyone can throw out drivers in A,B and C and why they like them then everyone can make a better decision for their lineup.

As for the one's that want to join the league I am in. I don't know if you can signing up after the season starts (I do not run it) but as for next year it maybe possible. How it works is a $150 buy in at the start of the season. Now this year things changed as yahoo did change by spliting the season into 3's. 1st and 2nd in the 1/3 of the season get paid and 1st and 2nd in the next 2/3 and so on for the last 3rd of the season. So really all you have to do is atleast come in first for 1/3 of the season to get your money plus back. Have been in it a few years now and made money each year till this one. Has to catch up to me sometime I guess.

After all this typing I hope this post makes sense.:142smilie Just like to get more people involved in the weekly discussions if possible. I try hard to stay open to everyone's opinion's and I would never bash anyone for saying what they want unless they start on me first. But then I probably still wouldn't say anything.

Anybody else play the Nascar.com pay league(Fantasy Cap Challenge).
$12.95 to play a segment.

You get $100 million and have to pick 6 drivers each week based on there values.
They break it up into segments(3 for the season). They are in segment 2 right now. Segment 3 starts with the Pep Boys Auto 500(9/6) until end of season.

If you win you division(6 teams) then you get free entry into next segment. If you win your segment league(32 teams) then you get $75. and 2nd out of 32 gets $25 and you are also always entered in grand prizes for entire teams on the site.
I started it last year and won a segment last year($75) and won the 1st one this year($75) but am doing terrible this segment.
You only get a few trades per segment and have to pay for more or you can buy the unlimited trade deal.I think $5.00 gets you like 12 trades on top of the ones they alot you.

No I don't play that one. I did join a elimation League that seems easy but it's a BITCH!! It's $10 to get in and each week you pick one driver and they have to finish 20th or better. Can only use a driver one time. There is about 25-30 people in it and it goes to the last one standing. First round took until about the Coca 600. There are on 2nd round now with about 8 guys left. I last about 3-4 races till my driver blows a engine or gets in a wreak. :mj07: Atleast it's only $10 for a shot at a few hundred.
