Welcome to the 2014 Fantasy Chase

Thanks to everyone for a great regular season! Now it’s time for the Fantasy Chase — at least for the 261 people who won at least one time in the first 26 races to advance.

We only had two people pick Brad Keselowski at Richmond — and neither of them were new winners. Unfortunately, 65 people failed to advance out of the regular season.

For those of you who qualified (list below), I need your picks by SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT ET.

The short version of how the Fantasy Chase works: Using the form linked below, you can pick one Chase driver per week and use him only once throughout the Chase. Pick all 10 weeks and do not repeat any drivers … For the first round, your driver must finish in the top 12 among Chase drivers in each race or you are eliminated … In the second round, your driver must be among the top eight in the remaining Chase drivers or you are eliminated … In the third round, your driver must be in the top four finishers of the remaining Chase drivers or you are eliminated … Whoever has the highest finisher at Homestead among remaining players wins.

Also, your Twitter name and full name must match the names you gave when you signed up in February (for verification purposes).***

You can only play the Fantasy Chase if you signed up before the Daytona 500 and won a regular-season race. Those people are:

Fantasy racing game: Post-Bristol, pre-Atlanta picks

I actually feel bad continuing with the Fantasy Chase at this point.

Why? Because this dude named Adam Huth — Adam MF’in Huth! — is completely dominating the season. This is hard to believe — no, IMPOSSIBLE to believe — but Adam won his seventh freaking race of the season by picking Joey Logano at Bristol. SEVEN!!!!!!!!! What the hell, Adam??? Man…

Anyway, it won’t help Adam much when we reset the Chase standings. He’ll have enough cushion to make it through the first week, but after that? He might be doing all this winning for nothing. (Refresher on the new Chase rules can be found here.)

Overall, there were five people total who picked Logano — none of them new winners. They were:

GigCityPlanner **
Adam_Huth *******
AshBollinger **

Fantasy NASCAR game: Post-Michigan, pre-Bristol picks

Jeff Gordon’s victory at Michigan International Speedway made tallying this week’s winners realllllllly easy.

That’s because only one person — ONE! — picked him to win at Michigan. Congrats to Pam Nielsen on her third win of the season.

pamneilsen ***

Since Gordon’s win didn’t change much in terms of the standings, I’m not going to post them this week (you can find the most recent standings here). Let’s move on to Bristol, which is one of just three races remaining for those of you not in the Fantasy Chase.

Popular picks for this week include Brad Keselowski, the Busch brothers and Kyle Larson. Two people picked Parker Kligerman, which I’m pretty sure will not work out for them.

Fantasy NASCAR game: Post-Watkins Glen, pre-Michigan picks

As it turned out, the gazillion people who picked Marcos Ambrose to win at Watkins Glen were wrong. Oh-so-close, but wrong. However, there were 35 people who correctly picked AJ Allmendinger — including 10 first-time winners. Here they are:

Here are the overall standings so far, with 259 people (!!!) now in the Fantasy Chase. Remember, the Fantasy Chase rules/format will be different than previously announced.

Fantasy NASCAR game: Post-Pocono, pre-Watkins Glen picks

Well, this is the week I’ve been anticipating all year. When I tallied your picks in February, I noticed one thing over and over: TONS of people picked Marcos Ambrose to win at Watkins Glen. And why not? If you’re going to use him somewhere, the Glen makes perfect sense.

Now the Glen is here, and an Ambrose win could change the face of the Fantasy Chase. But before we get to that, let’s quickly revisit Pocono.

Six people correctly picked Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win at Pocono — and two of them were first-time winners.

OK. Now on to the Glen. Are you ready for this?

A whopping 210 PLAYERS out of the 326 total people in the game picked Marcos Ambrose to win at the Glen. Of those, 44 have NOT won yet this season! With just five races until the Fantasy Chase, this might be the last, best chance for some of those people.

Should be interesting.

Fantasy NASCAR game alert: Rules for Fantasy Chase announced

I’ve been thinking all year of how to handle the Fantasy Chase when it arrives. It became apparent very early in the season there would be WAY more people in the Chase than I anticipated (I was thinking 100 – it turned out to be more than 260).

That’s nice for everyone, but not so nice when you look at the original Chase format we were going to use: A points system with eliminations. Not only would it be difficult to tally points every week, but there could be 75 people still eligible for the championship at Homestead.

I don’t think that’s a good idea. So in true NASCAR fashion, I’m changing the rules in the middle of the game.

The format I came up with is pretty twisted, but it could be very strategic and a lot of fun. I tried to explain it below. Here we go!

RULES:

— You can only pick the 16 Chase drivers, and you can only use each driver once (just like the regular season). Pick one driver for each week of the Chase and submit your picks before Chicagoland.

— Here’s the catch: There are NO POINTS. All you have to do is have your pick survive until the next week. If your pick for a given race does not meet the qualification criteria (see below), you are eliminated from the Chase. You either advance to the next race or don’t.

— How do you survive? By having your pick be among the top-finishing Chase drivers in the race. This will start off easy and get harder and harder as the weeks go on.

— In the first three weeks (Chicagoland, New Hampshire and Dover), your driver must be among the top 12 of the 16 Chase finishers in the race. That’s it. Pick the 10th-best Chase driver and you’re through to the next week. But pick the 15th-best Chase driver, and your whole year is over.

Examples: If you pick Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Chicagoland and he blows an engine, you are eliminated. Done. If you survive Chicagoland but pick Aric Almirola at New Hampshire and he’s the 13th-best Chase driver, you are eliminated. If you pick Kurt Busch and he finishes 15th but is the 11th-best Chase driver, you survive until the next week.

— In the next three weeks (Kansas, Charlotte, Talladega), your driver must be among the top eight finishers of the 12 remaining Chase drivers. If your driver has already been eliminated from the Chase by the time Charlotte arrives, you get zero points and are eliminated.

Example: If Denny Hamlin finishes second at Talladega but was already out of the Chase, you don’t get any credit for the pick.

— In the following three weeks (Martinsville, Texas, Phoenix), your driver must be among the top four finishers of the eight remaining Chase drivers. Again, if your pick for that week is no longer contending for the championship, you’re done.

Example: If you pick Matt Kenseth at Phoenix and he’s only the fifth-best Chase driver, you’re out.

— This sounds complicated, right? But Homestead should be simple: Your Homestead pick must be the highest-finishing driver of all remaining players. Is it possible everyone will be eliminated by then? I doubt it. There will still be some people left, given how you all have performed against expectations this season. If multiple people have the same pick for Homestead, the finalists will be asked to submit tiebreaker drivers for the final race (second, third, fourth, fifth).

—–> UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED TWIST —–> I still need to reward the regular-season winners (one guy has FIVE wins right now, so he deserves something). So here’s what we’ll do: Each of your regular-season wins will be worth one buffer position to save you in the first round. But you can only use it one time, and it will kick in automatically.

Examples: If you had one win this season and the driver you picked finishes 13th among the Chase drivers, you’ll survive. But if you had five wins this season, you could pick Aric Almirola at Chicagoland and be guaranteed to survive (because you had five positions to give). So it’s essentially a first-week bye for anyone with four or more wins this season.

I can’t wait to see the strategies people come up with. Will you use the top Chase guys early to make sure you advance each week? Or will you try to scrape by in the early races and leave the top contenders for the final few races? I honestly don’t know what the right strategy is, and that’s why this game should be fun.
