2025 NASCAR Thread - FBG fantasy league has a new leader (5 Viewers)

[Eephus]

Bump to keep on page 1. Preferred the old Yahoo fantasy format where you had to draft drivers from different tiers.

I understand the financial reasons for doing Daytona on a Wed-Sun schedule but there's hasn't been much buildup to the race. Daytona Speedweeks used to generate a lot more buzz. This year there were cars puttering around a football field two weekends ago and then a big gap. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to the race on Sunday.

How do y'all usually watch? We just cancelled our YT TV as it's not worth $85 a month for only NASCAR and the ability to record Survivor and skip commercials (can just watch on CBS website).

Yeah felt like there was no build up to the Clash. And I don’t remember seeing any commercials during the superbowl. Maybe there was one?

Seen a lot on X, but that is because of what I follow.

I listen to the Tear Down podcast, but they haven’t dropped a pre race podcast yet.

Hulu and Prime. I freaked out for a second because I see some races m TNT and didn’t remember if we had TNT in the Hulu package.

It is weird that Yahoo got out of the Fantasy NASCAR game. I can’t remember the last time that I visited Yahoo for anything other than for a fantasy sports team.

The guy who ran that Driver Group Game site we used a few years ago is shutting the doors this season.

Okay I got a team together

[TheBaylorKid]

7 signed up, this is good

 

[Instinctive]

I'm in baby! Ready to finish last.

 

[TheBaylorKid]

8, we have 8 in! I feel like The Count from Sesame Street.

 

[Don Quixote]

I tried seeing if I could add my son too, but he uses my account and can only have one set of picks per account in the group. So, I suppose that saves us from potentially losing to an 8 year old.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

In. I'll give it a shot.

 

[TheBaylorKid]

9! 9 entries! Ah ah ah!

 

[belljr]

I guarantee I will bail before the end of the season

Yahoo format was dam near perfect.

 

[Eephus]

Qualifying starting now for those who want to get a jump on the fantasy league

It's on FS2 because it was bumped for women's hoops.

 

[Eephus]

Should I pick drivers for my team or read the rules?

 

[Eephus]

WTF is this featured matchups bonus pick business

Well I didn't read the rules so

 

[TheBaylorKid]

WTF is this featured matchups bonus pick business

Feels like prop bet. Who do you think will finish higher between the two drivers for extra points.

Is +10 points significant?

I guess I should read the rules

 

[QuizGuy66]

So Eephus is going to run away with this

[QuizGuy66]

Side note the FoxSports App (maybe the site too) has a new free Super6 contest for Daytona.

I have it on good authority that if you win one these they pay out very quickly

I have never done groups on there or anything. Just a PSA for folks who like free contests

[Eephus]

A lot of attrition for a short race

 

[TheBaylorKid]

I’m liking the enhancements nascar.com made to the live data displays.

 

[Eephus]

Welcome to NASVAR (the soccer fans will get it)

Good thing it wasn't a real race

 

[belljr]

Dirty Mo in the big one!!!

 

[Gatorade]

24forsure

 

[belljr]

Is there only 20 trucks running in the race?

 

[Eephus]

Is there only 20 trucks running in the race?

36 starters. 2 went home.

Stage two only looked like there was 20 in the pack

 

[QuizGuy66]

Had to put my guy Truex on the roster even though it is an awful spot to do so. Will have garage pick on standby.

[belljr]

20 laps to go and nothing but commercials

 

[Eephus]

20 laps to go and nothing but commercials

they could have saved them for the inevitable yellows

 

[belljr]

And the pregame is on!!! I might only watch four races a year now, but I still love the Daytona 500

 

[belljr]

Did anyone have pitbull covering bon jovi on their bingo card?

 

[Eephus]

I'm going to walk the dog so I'll miss the Trump interview

 

[Hooper31]

Was it really 45 years ago that I watched my man Buddy Baker win? Dang. Still has the fastest average speed during his win, and the first driver to top 200mph.

 

[TheBaylorKid]

Politics aside I think it is cool to see the presidential limo on the track. Sigh rain delay.

 

[TheBaylorKid]

24forsure with the lead after 8

 

[Eephus]

 

[Eephus]

Green green green

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Right on cue Logano ****s everyone’s day up…

 

[Gatorade]

Right on cue Logano ****s everyone’s day up…

Another reason to hate him

 

[belljr]

Coming for you @Eephus

 

[belljr]

Coming for you 24forsure

 

[belljr]

Need to hold on for 108 more laps

 

[Eephus]

Coming for you @Eephus

Reading the fantasty rules. I'll be right back

 

[Gatorade]

Wow, Logano moving up and looking good.
What is up with Denny? Is it time for him to retire ?
