2026 Season

League Overview

This is a season-long NASCAR fantasy league built around fixed-size rosters, salary-based team building, and weekly scoring based directly on official NASCAR driver points.

League Format

  • Each team carries exactly 8 drivers.
  • All 8 drivers count every week. There are no starters and no bench spots.
  • Drivers can appear on more than one fantasy team.
  • The fantasy league season may begin after the real NASCAR season has already started.
  • For league purposes, the first scoring race in this league is treated as Week 1.

Scoring

  • Weekly fantasy scoring is based directly on NASCAR driver points.
  • Team score for a week is the sum of the NASCAR points earned by all 8 active rostered drivers for that week.
  • Season standings are based on total points accumulated through the selected week.

Salary Cap and Driver Values

  • Each team has a salary cap of 10,000,000.
  • Only active drivers currently on the roster count against the cap.
  • Driver salaries are based on weekly published values.
  • Values do not need to change every week.
  • If a driver does not receive a new value in a later week, the most recent prior value is carried forward for league operations and mock-team viewing.
  • All eligible drivers are assigned values, not only currently rostered drivers.

Acquisition Cost Rule

  • When a team adds a driver, that team pays the value in effect for the week the driver was added.
  • That acquisition value is then locked in for that team.
  • If the team keeps the driver, the salary does not change later even if the driver’s published value changes.
  • If the team drops the driver and adds a replacement, the replacement is added at the value in effect for that add week.
  • This is preserved for historical and audit purposes.
