Basic Rules of the Game: Pick 6 drivers and stay within an initial $125 salary cap. Additionally, a tiebreaker driver is selected (Tiebreaker Driver's points do not count in the team totals.). Once the drivers are selected, participants select a Superstar driver from the 6 drivers on their roster. A driver can be selected to be the "Superstar" only once per season. The Superstar driver's points for that race are doubled.

Drivers salary cap changes weekly based on their performance. Your salary cap will change by the sum of the change in your 6 drivers' salary. Scoring is based on the Nextel Cup point system. Highest point total wins.

Leagues: Public Leagues (15 teams) and Private Leagues available.
