LVA Nascar Fantasy League 2012 (segment #1)

Oh yeah baby!! Its about that time folks! Time to hear the roaring of 43 engines going speeds in excess of 200MPH at Daytona.

I can't wait!

A number of you have already asked me, if I was going to run the LVA fantasy league this season again, and I said "You bet your ass I am!"

This contest is open to all past fantasy league participants, and any new ones that want to join as well.

Just like last year, there will be an option to pay to play, or you can simply play for free, if you wish.


The Nascar League has been set up and I am just waiting for folks to sign up and join the group.

This year's format looks to be the same as last years... They went back to the format that I really liked. One where they give you a salary cap, and you have to make that money work for five drivers.

This year your team is given 100 million fantasy bucks and you had to buy 5 drivers that were valued differently based on skills and wins, every week and you had to stay under the salary cap of 100M with out going over, every week.

The better your drivers do in any given race, the more points you get towards your segment totals.

Just like last year, there will be 3 segments of racing this season, and this fantasy league runs all 3 segments seperatley in 3 individual contests. We pay out the top 3 spots at a 60% for first, 30% for 2nd and 10% for 3rd place of total funds collected for each segment.

Just like last year, and due to popular demand....we're going to continue the "OVER ALL 3 SEGMENTS" winner as well this contest.**

This "over all" contest will be the sum of all your points for all 3 segments in the 2011 Nascar season. The prize structure will remain the same as the individual segment pay offs 60% for 1st, 30% for 2nd and 10% for 3rd ...of total funds collected for each segment.

Those who are interested in this option, must pay their (extra) $20 bucks at the start of the season, no exceptions.

Or you could just pay the $80 bucks to cover the whole 36 nascar races which includes all 3 segments plus the "over all" contest.

Just one simple rule for the over all....The "over all" contest particpant must use the same Fantasy League account for all 3 segments. If you forget the password, you can't just create another account, continue playing, and expect me to tally the different segment results for different accounts. All three segments must be played by the same account!

FYI...Segment #1 is 11 races long.....Segment #2 is 15 races long, and Segment #3 is 10 races long.


Also wanted to add that if you forget to change your line up, picked a driver that wasn't racing that week, or forget to setup a line up when the segments get cleared out, at the end of each segment, but you already paid....thats your problem. There will be no refunds!

If you do forget your password...contact ESPN and they will reset it for you.


***If you are interested in entering this contest, for free or pay to play for cash prizes, YOU MUST SEND ME A Private Message and I will send you the league invite with all of the information on how to pay. ***

I wanted to thank the kind folks that particpated in last years contest, and made this an exciting Fantasy game to be involved with.

Expect more of the same for this year, and I hope we can get this game loaded with good, friendly, competitive, shit talking, folks, and make it a HUGE POT to play for this year!


Thank you, Good luck, and good racing!

I'll break the scoring down for the rookies that might want to join us this year

It really isn't that complicated, and you can check in with ESPN.COM and get more info that way if you wish.

Basically...you setup an ESPN account, and you join a league. In this case...its the LVA league.

Every week, that there is a Nascar race, you get to choose 5 drivers who you think will do well at any given race.

Your team starts with 100M fantasy bucks, and each driver has a monetary value assigned to them. So you can't just pick the 5 best drivers, because you won't be able to afford them. You have to pick a couple top drivers, a couple mid-range drivers and one low status driver.

Once you have your five drivers picked out and you remain UNDER the 100M salary cap, then you are ready for the race to start.

Points are given, after the race, to your team based on where each of your five drivers finished in that race.

With the points system for Nascar....drivers will get 43 points for finishing in first place, 42 for 2nd place, 41, for 3rd place, and so on until the 43rd place car which will get 1 point.

If your 5 drivers finish in the bottom 5, then YOUR team will only get 15 points for that week.

The better your drivers finish, the better your score will be.

At the end of the segment, all your races for this segment will be totaled and the top 3 teams get the bucks!

There is no tire changers, gas men, crew chiefs or nothing like that....just PICK five drivers.

You can change your drivers as many times as you want, up until the race goes off.

So it pays to see how good or bad a driver does during qualifying, practice or happy hour, and make changes if needed.

The only warning is that if you get 5 drivers that put you OVER the 100M salary cap, you'll be given a ZERO for having an illegal line up.

The ESPN web site is good about letting you know that you are OVER the cap. It shows big red buttons and warnings, so don't think that its easy to get shafted....its not.

Hope that helped, and we'll see you on the track!
