Overall Scores
Welcome to the Checkered Flag Challenge - your chance to win some big
prizes throughout the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup Season. We've got
great monthly prizes, plus a shot at two unbelieveable Grand Prizes.
It's easy to play. Each week, pick one driver from each bracket. Every
Monday after a race, we'll give you points based on where your drivers
finished and tally the points. The person with the top score for each
month period of the contest* wins a great Monthly Prize!
But don't stop at the monthly prize; we'll keep tallying your scores
after that. The person with the most points at the end of the first
half of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season** will receive the Grand
Prize! Then we'll reset everyone's scores to zero and give you
another chance to win into the fall.

When you view each week's Checkered Flag Challenge entry form, you'll
see four brackets of drivers; 10 drivers in each of the first three
brackets, and 20 drivers in the 4th bracket. The drivers are listed in
order of their current Sprint Cup standings (using the final standings
from the previous year for the first race), so the first bracket is the top 10
drivers, the second bracket is drivers #11-20, and so on. Think of
it as putting together your own NASCAR team for the week - you'll
choose one driver from each bracket, and then hope that each driver
was the best choice from among the drivers available.
Your points are determined by where the drivers you pick finish in
that week's race, using the NASCAR Sprint Cup points schedule. Let's
say Dale Earnhardt, Jr., wins this week's race. For doing so, he'll
get 185 points in the Sprint Cup season. Now let's say that you
picked Dale this week. Since he won the race, you also get 185
points, plus points based on how the other drivers you picked
finished! That's a whole lot of points available each and every
week!
Two important notes about scoring:
- NASCAR also assigns drivers bonus points for leading a lap or
leading the most laps. We do NOT use these bonus points
in the Checkered Flag Challenge.
- Scoring is based on the drivers you picks, not on
team or car number. You will only receive points based on how the drivers
you pick fare. If there is a substitute driver on a team for any given
week, that substitute driver is credited with the points he wins,
NOT the driver who usually drives that car.

points schedule, please click here.
Scoring is cumulative, so come back every week to play. Whoever has
earned the most points at the end of each half of the NASCAR Sprint Cup
season receives the grand prize!
