***The Rules: Please pay special attention to changes in RED ink. New for this year.
The Nascar Fantasy Crash League was concieved during a chat at the GSNAP.Com chat hosted by NascarByCooter during a crash filled race that was wreaking havoc on everyone's Fantasy Nascar contests.
The rules will be short and simple, we want this to be fun, and require Minumum involvement.
To best enjoy our version, you should be logged in to the NASCAR chats at GSNAP. You can get a free gsnap membership anytime by registering at http://gsnap.com . Then starting about an hour before every Sprint Cup Cars race, go back to GSNAP and follow the link to the Nascar Chat.
It's free, simple, and we have a lot of fun chatting, sometimes we even chat about the actual race. LOL.
Official Rules:
1.)Before each Nascar Sprint Cup Race post your picks by email to NascarFantasyCrashLeague

The Picks: Pick One Driver who you think will crash first (crashes defined later) (50 pts) Note:if this driver crashes LATER it's still worth 10 pts.
Pick Five other drivers who you think may crash during the course of the race.(10 pts each crash)
Pick One driver who you believe will finish in 43rd place. (25 Bonus Pts)This driver also gets 10 points for crashes.
2.) Keep track of your own points on the honor system. But, post them as they happen for the fun of it. Send them to me on email or tweet to @WisSmokeFan after race.
3.)PENALTIES: If any of your drivers finishes in the top 5 you lose 5 points each.
That's it. It's easy and fun. Now here's some FAQ:
****WHAT CONSTITUTES A POINTS EARNING CRASH? Obviously a crash that brings out a yellow flag counts, but in some cases, a crash that does not cause yellow to come out will also earn points.
Simply smacking a wall does not count (or we couldn't play at Darlington), nor does bumping another car, if neither of them crashes or spins. IF A WALL IS SMACKED HARD ENOUGH TO CASUE A TRIP TO THE PITS RIGHT AWAY WITH NO CAUTION, THAT IS A CRASH .
However, if a car spins out (either alone or because of contact) and keeps it on the track, or makes it directly to pit road without bringing out a yellow, that DOES count. SPINNING OUT IS DEFINED AS 181 DEGREES OF SPIN OR MORE, EVEN IF THE DRIVER RECOVERS AND CONTINUES THIS WOULD BE A CRASH.
If one car spins another, or causes a crash, but is mostly undamaged and continues racing, that car DOES NOT count.
****WHAT IF MY CHOICE FOR FIRST CRASHER, CRASHES LATER, BUT NOT FIRST? That will count as a 10 point crash. Basically you have 7 drivers who's crashes are worth 10 points. And ONE of them is worth 50 pts if that particular driver crashes first. The crasher who you picked for LAST place is worth 10 pts for crashes, and 25 points if actually comes in last.
****WHAT IF THE FIRST CRASH INVOLVES MULTIPLE CARS? If your driver is involved in the first crash and it's a multi-car crash, that counts regardless of where their particular crash occurred.
****WHAT DO I WIN IF I FINISH WITH THE MOST POINTS? Pretty much bragging rights, BUT I may occasionally come up with a prize or gift certificate that I will mail to the winner. It's possible that other players may occasionally donate a prize just for the fun of it too. Note: For the CHASE races, we will keep cumilative score for a Grand Champion.
****WHAT ABOUT THE CAMPING WORLD TRUCKS OR NATIONWIDE SERIES? The official contest is only for the Sprint Cup races, but they may be playing for fun during the other races. The GSNAP chat is active during all three races.
****WHAT IF THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT A CRASH? A simple vote of whoever is on the chat and wants to vote will decide things not covered above. Simple majority of voters is all that is needed to decide. Any of the moderators can call a vote if they feel it is needed and will keep everyone happy.
****Who are the moderators? WisconsinSmokeFan, P337, Shell236, CPBelser and Cooter
That's it. Now get a GSNAP account (if you don't have one) and have some fun.
