Basic Rules of the Game: You start with a mythical $50,000,000 to pick 6 drivers. Driver's salaries change throughout the season. You can buy and sell drivers as the season progresses to earn more money. You also pick a manufacturer (Chevy, Dodge, Ford or Pontiac). Scoring is based on performance by subtracting the drivers qualifying points (43 points for 1st continuing down to 1 point for 43rd) from the actual Nextel Cup points earned for the race. Manufacturer points are then added in. Highest point total wins. Remember, Season 1 runs through 6/6/05.

Leagues: Public Leagues and Private Leagues available.
