Racing/Cup/Rules - The Fantasy Sport Site

All Victory Lane Racing NASCAR Cup Series players are required to begin their Fantasy Sport Site Racing careers in either In The Groove Racing's NASCAR Cup Series Game, or Victory Lane Racing's O'Reilly Auto Parts and Craftsman Truck Series games.

There are two ways to be called up to the NASCAR Cup Series:

1. Win the In The Groove Racing's NASCAR Cup Series Championship. The first off-season Cup Series opening will be offered to the In The Groove Champion, if they're not a Victory Lane Racing NASCAR Cup Series Member.

2. Performance based- be the top Victory Lane O'Reilly Auto Parts Series driver without a Victory Lane Racing NASCAR Cup Series spot when an opening occurs in the series.

The bottom three finishing players in points are not guaranteed a spot in the series the following season. This will allow for Champions from lower series who do not already have a spot in the higher series to be given a chance in the higher series.

Players will submit picks for every race. The groups are set up by owner's points. There are 6 groups, which make up the top 25 in owner's points. Group 3 will be a "bonus driver" from groups 1 or 2. Every player has the option of choosing "Other" for group #5 and writing in a driver NOT ALREADY ON THE PICK SHEET IN ANY GROUP. Each player will also pick a manufacturer for each race, and will receive the points for the top finishing driver in that manufacturer (without stage points).

Be sure to enter your name, email address, winning manufacturer and race winner (tie breaker) before entering your picks. To see the pick sheet, click HERE.

*In the event that a driver on the pick sheet doesn't participate in that car, players will receive the points from whoever the driver is in that car for that race. You're picking the car, not the driver.*

Each player will be allowed three (3) provisionals during the regular season. If picks are not submitted before the deadline, a player's picks from the previous race will be rolled-over to the next race, and they will earn:

1st Provisional: 100% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not cars, so if it is a different driver in a car, you will receive zero points). Any wins by a player using a provisional will not make a player eligible for the playoffs. They must still win another race or earn their way in by points to be eligible.

All drivers rolled over MUST be in the same group they were in the previous race. If they are no longer in that group, then at the conclusion of the race, the player who used the provisional will receive the lowest point getter in the vacant group for that race. Any drivers rolled over in the same group will earn full points.

2nd Provisional: 50% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (if they're still in the same group on the pick sheet) (not car).

3rd Provisional: 25% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (if they're still in the same group on the pick sheet) (not car).

*players will NOT earn playoff points when using a provisional*

Provisionals may only be used during the regular season. No provisionals will be granted during the chase, if players fail to submit picks in the playoffs (or they're out of provisionals), they will receive 0 points and a DNS (did not start).

If a player misses picks two races in a row, they will not earn points for the race (but still use one of their allowed provisionals), resulting in zero points for that race and a DNS (did not start).

After three provisionals are used, and failure to submit picks for a fourth time, the player will be removed from the league.

Determining a race Winner: Each player will choose 6 drivers per race. Your 6 diver's points added up will be your "Race Points". The player with the highest amount of race points is that week's race winner. Each player will also pick a manufacturer for each race, with the top finishing manufacturer receiving 10 points, second manufacturer will receive 5 points, and the third finishing manufacturer will receive 0 points.

Determining a Season Champion: The first 26 races of the season will be the "regular season", followed by a 10-race Chase to the Championship. At the end of each race, the winner will receive 65 points, and then second through 45th will be awarded points on a 45-to-2 scale. Those finishing 46th to and lower will be awarded one point. If more than 50 players enter the race, 51st and below will receive 0 points.

The top 16 in points following the 26th race of the season will qualify for the Chase. No more "win and in".
The top 16 entering the chase will have their points reset before the Chase begins. The first seed will begin The Chase with 2,100 points, a 25-point advantage over second place (2,075). Third place will start with 2,065 points, and every other position will be separated by five points apiece (16th will start with 2,000).
The player with the most points following the season finale at Homestead will be crowned the 2026 champion.

In a Race: If there is a tie in a race, the player's choice of a race winner will be their tie breaker. Whoever's driver finishes highest, wins that tie. If the drivers who tied have the same race winner, the player highest in points entering the race wins the tie.

*For the first race of each season, the points will revert back to the final season standings from the previous season*

In the points (at the end of the season): If there is a tie in the point standings, the player with the most wins will win the tie. If the two players are tied with wins, it will go top 5's, top 10's and if all else fails, whoever was highest in points the previous race.

In the points during the playoffs: If there is a tie in the point standings between two playoff drivers at the cutoff of a three race playoff round, the tie will be broken by the tied player's best finishing position in the races during that playoff round. Example: Player 1 finishes 6th, 34th and 40th in the three races, and Player 2 finished 7th, 33rd and 39th in the three races... Player 1 wins with a best finish of 6th.
