Welcome to the 2014 edition of the RacersLounge.com NASCAR Fantasy League (RLNFL) brought to you by 84EXPO and Pro Image Racing Graphics. We will follow the current Sprint Cup Series points system, complete with our own take on The Chase. The season will be broken down into 4 separate 10-race Quarters. There will also be an on-going tally for the season, which will climax with a 10-race Chase after the 30th event of the season.
In addition to the traditional 36-race schedule, the RLNFL is also adding 4 special events to bring the tally to a 40-event season. Those 4 additional events are as follows: Budweiser Duel #1, Budweiser Duel #2, Sprint Showdown, & Sprint All-Star Race.
RULES:
- Picks must be in by the start of the race. All you must do is post the name of the driver of your choice on the specific event thread.
- Users cannot pick the same driver in consecutive races; if consecutive picks are made, user will receive a 30-point penalty for the 2nd race.
- Do NOT edit your post, as this may result in a disqualification or penalty. If you wish to change your pick, simply make a new post.
- Users selecting a driver that receives a DNQ will receive '0' points for the selected race.
- Users will receive the same post-race technical penalties as their pick.
- Each driver may only be picked TWICE during a single Quarter; each violation is a 15-point penalty.
- Each driver may only be picked a maximum of SIX times during a single season; each violation is a 30-point penalty.
- Users will be required to make a minimum of FIVE 'Dark Horse' selections during the first 30 events of the season (pre-Chase), and a minimum of SIX overall. 'Dark Horse' is defined as a driver currently outside of the Top 20 in Drivers' Points (Daytona, Sonoma, Talladega, & Watkins Glen prohibited); each violation is a 30-point penalty.
[For the first 7 races of the season, the Final 2013 Drivers' Points will be used.]
- Users qualifying for The Chase may only pick any single driver ONE time during The Chase. Chase qualifiers must also make TWO 'Dark Horse' selections during this time (Talladega prohibited). This rule only applies to users qualifying for The Chase; each violation will result in a 30-point penalty.
NOTES:
• Users will receive the respective number of points earned by their pick, regardless of official Championship designation. For example, users selecting Trevor Bayne at Daytona in 2011 received the 47 points that he would have received if he had declared Sprint Cup Series eligibility.
• The lowest single-race score that a user can receive is '0' points, regardless of penalties.
• Penalties for Section 14-8 will be deducted following Event No.30
If there are any questions, feel free to PM me here or send an e-mail to RLNFL@84expo.com

There will be a couple of "exceptions" made for the following events:
1. Budweiser Duel #1
2. Budweiser Duel #2
14. Sprint Showdown
15. Sprint All-Star Race
Considering that NASCAR essentially uses these four events as exhibition races, the 2014 RLNFL will waive the following rules for the aforementioned events:
- Section 14-2: Users cannot pick the same driver in consecutive races; if consecutive picks are made, user will receive a 30-point penalty for the 2nd race.
- Section 14-6: Each driver may only be picked TWICE during a single Quarter; each violation is a 15-point penalty.
- Section 14-7: Each driver may only be picked a maximum of SIX times during a single season; each violation is a 30-point penalty.
This will allow a user to pick a certain driver for one of the Gatorade Duels AND the Daytona 500 if they want, without the fear of a penalty for consecutive picks (14-2) or using up one of their allotted picks for that particular driver (14-6 & 14-7).
The same will hold true for the Charlotte All-Star weekend as well. This brings up one loophole, which will allow users to pick the same driver for Darlington & Charlotte (even all 3 events) if they wish, but that's fine.
If there are any questions, feel free to ask them here.
