| We recommend visiting the site at least once a week to see where you placed the previous week, where you are in the standings, and to submit your picks for the next week. Sign Up: To sign up for the Victory Lane Racing Gander Outdoors Truck Series, visit the Fantasy Sport Site Sign Up Page and fill out the required fields. All members are required to participate in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series and/or Xfinity Series before getting their shot at the Victory Lane Racing NASCAR Cup Series. Waiting List/Xfinity & Cup Series Call-Up Rules: There is no longer a waiting list for the Xfinity Series, as players are called up to the series based on performance in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series. When a spot in the Xfinity Series opens up, it will be offered to the player highest in the Truck Series points without a spot in the Xfinity Series. The same applies for an open spot in the Victory Lane Racing NASCAR Cup Series (highest in Xfinity Series points). The only exception to this rule is if a player wins a Championship in the In The Groove Racing League (automatic Cup Series entry) or in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series (automatic Xfinity Series entry). 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. Payment: The Victory Lane Racing Gander Outdoors Truck Series will remain FREE in 2020. Schedule: Be sure to check out the schedule page for 2020. Note: All race names may not be correct. I took the schedule posted on Jayski.com before the season started and some race sponsors and names may have changed. To see the 2020 Gander Outdoors Truck Series Schedule, click HERE.

Rookie Of The Year: The 2020 Rookie of the Year Rules: 1. To be eligible for the 2020 Victory Lane Racing Gander Outdoors Truck Series Rookie of the Year award, a player can not have started in anymore than 7 races in the Victory Lane Racing Gander Outdoors Truck Series in one season or 15 races in any seasons combined. 2. The highest finishing rookie will receive ten (10) points, while the second highest will receive eight (8) points. This will continue down through the 5th rookie, who will receive two (2) points. Each rookie receives 1 point just for starting the race (no picks submitted will receive 0 points, even if they receive provisional points). 3. If a Gander Outdoors Truck Series rookie finishes in the top 10 in a race, they will receive bonus points for whichever position they finished. A win will result in 10 bonus points. 2nd 9 bonus points. 3rd 8 bonus points, and so on, all the way down to 10th, which will receive 1 bonus point. Any finish outside the top 10 will result in 0 bonus points. 7. Each player's best 19 finishes in the Gander Outdoors Truck Series will count in the final Rookie of the Year standings. Each player's four (4) lowest scoring races (roughly 25%) will be dropped to allow some margin of error for "rookie" mistakes. Race Entry List: It is recommended that each player check the entry list on NASCAR.com, RacingOne.com or Jayski. com before submitting picks each week. Weekly Pick Sheet: Players will submit picks for every race. Drivers are to select five (5) drivers for a salary not totalling more than $100 per race. Players have the choice to write in any driver that is not listed on the pick sheet for $5. If this driver is a NASCAR Cup Series driver, however, they will be a cap hit of $30. Typically, when the entry list is released for a NASCAR race, we will know which NASCAR Cup Series drivers are running and will list them on the pick sheet at $30. 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). If a change is made to the driver of a truck AFTER the picks deadline has passed, the truck will remain at the salary it was listed, regardless if a NASCAR Cup Series driver runs the truck. Any picks sent at more than $100 will result in that player receiving only one (1) race point. Be sure to enter your name, email address 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 truck, players will receive the points from whoever the driver is in that truck for that race. You're picking the truck, not the driver.* Picks Deadline: Weekly deadlines will be the night before each race. For a Friday race, picks will be due at midnight EST on Thursday night (unless otherwise noted). You may change any of your drivers up until the deadline. Once the deadline has passed, you may not change your picks under any circumstances (we reserve the right to change the entry deadline for any race with notice). Late picks will not be accepted. Provisionals: 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 truck, so if it is a different driver in a truck, 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. 2nd Provisional: 50% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not truck). 3rd Provisional: 25% of the points earned by previous race's drivers (not truck). *any playoff points earned by rolled-over picks will NOT count for the player* Provisionals may only be used during the regular season. No provisionals will be granted during the playoffs, if players fail to submit picks, they will receive 0 points. If a player has two or more provisionals during the regular season, they must qualify for the playoffs by points (any wins become ineligible). If a player misses picks two races in a row, they will not be able to use a provisional for the second race, 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. Scoring: Determining a Winner: Each player will choose 5 drivers per race using a salary cap of $100. Your 5 diver's points plus your manufacturer choice points added up will be your "Race Points". The player with the highest amount of race points is that week's race. Reminder: Any picks sent over the $100 salary cap will be invalid and receive just one (1) race point. Determining a Season Champion: The first 16 races of the season will be the "regular season", followed by 3 playoff rounds comprised of 7 races. At the end of each race, the winner will receive 50 points, and then second through 45th will be awarded points on a 45-to-2 scale. Those finishing 46th or below will be awarded one point.
Playoff Points: NASCAR uses three segments for each of their national touring series. Segments during each NASCAR race will help players earn "playoff points". These playoff points will be accrued throughout the regular season, and each playoff point will be added to each player's reset total following race No. 16, if that competitor makes the playoffs. Playoff points can be earned three ways: 1. Players will earn any playoff points earned by their drivers in the first two segments of each race. Example: A driver you chose wins the first and second segment of the race, you will earn two (2) playoff points. Players will not earn the 5 playoff points if a driver they chose wins the overall race. 2. A player that wins a Victory Lane Racing Gander Outdoors Truck Series Series race will earn 5 playoff points per win. 3. At the end of the regular season, the top 10 players in the point standings will receive playoff points, with the regular season champion earning 15 playoff points that will be added to the driver's playoff reset. Second place receives 10 playoff points, third place will earn 8 points, fourth place will receive 7 points, and so on. All playoff points will carry through to the end of the Round of 8. Tie Breaking: 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. Facebook Group: The Fantasy Sport Site has a Facebook Group for all of the players in all of the games. It is recommended that each player in each of the games requests to join our group, as the administrators for the games will be in contact with everyone there. To go to the Facebook group and request to join, click HERE. Race Errors/Changes: There will be a one week window where points can change after a race. If you add up your points and find an error, let webmaster@thefantasysportsite.com know within 7 days and action will be taken to fix that error. After 7 days, the results are frozen and can no longer be changed. Rule Changes: We reserve the right to change or amend any rule during the season. Any change that occurs will happen before a race and will not affect the outcome of any previous race. Any rule changes will be posted on the site and emailed to all members. Back To Main Page |
