Cost is $9.95 for the season.
Once you are signed up, read the How to play link at http://fantasy.nascar.com/games/cap/howTo.cfm |
Word to the wise. Make certain you have the 6 drivers you want before selecting the 6th driver. I made this mistake and used up my all 6 of my extra transactions. Oh well. Learn from my mistake. Also when picking drivers, I would make sure you pick 6 drivers that will run in all/most of the 36 NASCAR events.
You start out with $125 to spend on drivers. Here are my 6 guys. Kevin Harvick (#29) $44.64 Dale Jarrett (#88) $29.84 Brian Vickers (#25) $14.94 Greg Biffle (#16) $14.29 Brendan Gaughan Dodge $10.85 Kasey Kahne (#9) $10.15 2 Fords, 2 Chevys, 2 Dodges. I'm an equal opportunity employer. |
I'm In. Got me 6 drivers, and a tie-breaker :)
Picking those drivers was harder then it looked. We need to do this next season of NFl too. It's always tons of fun to plays in a private league. it's a little more personal. |

Did the instructions make sense? Which drivers did you pick? |

Jimmie Johnson (#48) Lowe's Chevrolet Jamie McMurray (#42) Texaco/Havoline Dodge Elliott Sadler (#38) M&Ms Ford Greg Biffle (#16) Army National Guard/Subway Ford Jeff Green (#43) Cheerios Dodge Kasey Kahne (#9) Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge My bottom two changed out a bit, as I was trying to get under $125!! In football, I usually go the full league (drafting, etc.), and not just the cap league. Hockey and Baseball, I do the cap. So, this'll be fun. :) |
OK i got my drivers and stuff, now what do i do?
|
Oh yeah, here is my line up
Matt Kenseth (#17) Dewalt Tools Ford $44.83 $5.28 Mark Martin (#6) Pfizer/Viagra Ford $26.27 $0.23 Terry Labonte (#5) Kellogg's Chevrolet $21.79 $0.39 Kasey Kahne (#9) Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge $10.15 $1.40 Scott Wimmer (#22) Caterpillar Dodge $9.15 $0.14 Johnny Sauter (#30) America Online Chevrolet $6.07 $0.13 And I selected Dale Jr. for the tie breaker.. but I dont know what that is for :P |
I gotta get in on this, but after my next credit card payment (my card is probably maxed out)...
sweet!!! :nice: |
OK i got my drivers and stuff, now what do i do? I'm new to this as well so please read Rules and FAQ (also located on right side of screen once you have logged into TheMustangSource.com league) for more info. The how to play link, http://fantasy.nascar.com/games/cap/howTo.cfm states "the tiebreaker driver is only used to break ties for prizing purposes" |
maybe I should read the rules and FAQ's huh?
:jester: |
i don't feel like paying or else I'd be in :nice:
|
I figured it was only 10 bucks for 8-9 months of fun. :)
|
Plus your $10.00 investment could net you up to $5,000.00.
See http://fantasy.nascar.com/games/cap/rules.cfm for more info on prizes. |
Sweet! Sounds like fun!

Brad is suppose to joining, so that will make 6. Plus guys can still join anytime during the season.
|
I'm in!
Drivers: Dale Jarrett Jamie McMurray Elliot Sadler Jeff Burton Ricky Craven Kasey Kahne |
Great! Welcome. :wave:
I'm a Dale Jarrett fan myself. Did the instructions make sense? |
Repost of my lost changes:
1. Kevin Harvick 2. Dale Jarrett 3. Jamie McMurray 4. Greg Biffle 5. Casey Mears 6. Johnny Sauter |
Instruction were fine. No problems.
It is gonna be fun beating everyone in the league! :nice: |
That makes 7, right?
Come on guys, it'll be fun. :) |
We currently have 6, but Brad said he was joining so that will make 7.
JeffreyDJ, Can you repost your lost message about your roster change (or am I confusing you with Scottew). Anyway, one of you guys made a change on a recent post that was lost. Can you repost it? |
it was me.. gimmie a min and I will post it.
|
1. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (#8)
2. Jamie McMurray (#42) 3. Bill Elliott (#91) 4. Brian Vickers (#25) 5. Kasey Kahne (#9) 6. Johnny Sauter (#30) |
Maybe if Brad joins . . the winner of the league to get a "free" mustangsource.com T-Shirt?

Scottew,
Thanks. I'll update the power rating stuff. Just making sure you realize that Bill Elliott is not running in every race this year. He is running in the race this week though, but you will want to trade him if he is not participating in a race because you will get 0 points for him during that race. Just tell me to butt out if I'm meddling in ya business. |
Just 1 day left to get in on the ground floor of the Fantasy League!
|
dude i am glad you said that since i Had NO IDEA he wasnt racing in all of them. Shows how much I pay attention.

CURRENT STANDINGS
TEAM NAME CURRENT POINTS 1 evil capri 837 2 jeffreydj 709 3 scothew 681 4 afblue 675 5 basmatiburner 627 6 vikingsguy 562 Unofficial Standings! |
So now that this week is over, I get to go in and pick better drivers or who I think will do good this coming up race?
|
Yes... But if you drop drivers that have lost money, you have less to spend on replacements. In other words, you have to sell at the current going rate. You could end up with less then $125 to spend now!
|
Changed my lineup:
Kurt Busch (#97) Rubbermaid Ford $37.30 $0.15 Dale Jarrett (#88) UPS Ford $30.38 $0.54 Jamie McMurray (#42) Texaco/Havoline Dodge $23.85 $0.81 Elliott Sadler (#38) M&Ms Ford $17.89 $0.52 Kasey Kahne (#9) Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge $11.61 $1.46 Casey Mears (#41) Target Dodge $7.16 $0.18 |
I'm going to sit on any changes for awhile. I'm not sure I want to change my line-up just yet.
|
It is gonna be fun beating everyone in the league! May Kurt Busch be your downfall :-D That guy just rubs me wrong. |
So now that this week is over, I get to go in and pick better drivers or who I think will do good this coming up race? I went ahead and purchased 20 more for $17. I think I will sit with my current roster for a little while. |
I am NOT a Kurt Busch fan . . like you he just gets on my nerves, but he is consistent, and I need points!!
It amazes me how many people Ford has let slip through their fingers, not counting the sad losses of Alan K., and Davey Allison. Not to take any thing away from their current roster, but just think Mr. Jeff Gordan was in the Ford camp, and I am still not sure what happened to Kasey Kahn's contract. There are only 10 Ford's in the field?!?! Maybe Ford is not committed to NASCAR as much, or the "common" theme is wearing thin. I just hope the common engine theme is my rumor than truth!! |
Can you believe Matt Kenseth is up $5.81 and little E is only down 90 cents?
|
On yahoo.com fantasy Matt is averaging over 100 points a race!!

If anyone else (besides me) was wondering how driver salaries are calcualted, read the following: V. Player Values After each event, your drivers' value will be adjusted based on their performance. Drivers that perform well will have their value increased, along with your team's salary cap. Drivers that perform poorly will have their value decrease, along with your team's salary cap. And, in many cases, a run-of-the-mill performance will see no change in a driver's salary. Driver values will change after every race in accordance to the following: Increases Each place won from the driver's starting position to finishing position is multiplied by .1%. (ie, if a driver gained 25 positions from his starting place to finishing place, the driver will increase 2.5%) If the driver leads any lap, add .1% If the driver leads the most laps, add 1% First place finish: +5% Second place finish: +4.5% Third place finish: +4% Fourth place finish: +3.5% Fifth place finish: +3% Sixth place finish: +2.5% Seventh place finish: +2% Eighth place finish: +1.5% Ninth place finish: +1% Tenth place finish: +.5% Additional bonuses: First place finish: $2 Second place finish: $1 Third place finish: $.50 Decreases Each place lost from the driver's starting position to finishing position is multiplied by .2%. (ie, if a driver fell 25 positions from his starting place to finishing place, the driver will decrease 5.0%). Driver doesn't race: no change |
FYI:
The best possible score per week is 1030. The worst (assuming all your drivers are in the race) is 249 So avg score per week would be 640 (639.75 to be exact) |
Good info guys, thanks :)

I'm back. Sorry I didn't have internet access for the past week.
