It’s Week 2 of the Fantasy Chase, and starting this week, no one has a safety net.

That bonus point buffer everyone had at Chicagoland? Gone. Starting with New Hampshire and continuing for the rest of the Fantasy Chase, there’s nothing to save you if your driver doesn’t do his job.

A reminder of how it works this week: Your pick must finish better than four other Chase drivers. If your driver is 13th, 14th, 15th or 16th among Chase drivers, you’re out of the Fantasy Chase and your season is over.

This week, every Chase driver was picked at least once — but only 12 of those are correct picks.

A bad day by Denny Hamlin would have the biggest impact on the game, as he’d knock out 47 people. Also, if Ryan Newman struggles, it would end the season for 33 people.

And if both have a bad day? The Fantasy Chase field could be a whole lot smaller by Monday.

Should be interesting! Here are your picks:

After just one week in the Fantasy Chase, we’re already down to 183 players.

The Chase got a lot easier to win when 65 eligible players failed to sign up, leaving just 197 entrants in the 10-week, survival-style playoff.

But it’s not so easy when Aric Almirola blows an engine or Greg Biffle unexpectedly lays an egg in Week 1. Those drivers, along with AJ Allmendinger, caused 14 players to be eliminated — this despite having bonus points to hopefully serve as a buffer.

Many people also picked Carl Edwards, but since he finished 13th and everyone had at least one bonus point (which was only able to be used this week), they all survived. There won’t be any such safety net starting next week.

Anyway, it’s time to bid a fond farewell to the following people. We hope to see you again next season.

Welcome to the first week of the Fantasy Chase. For those of you who are playing, I have some great news: Winning just got a whole lot easier.

One-quarter of the eligible players — 66 people — missed the deadline for getting their picks in. I tried to send out reminders every day for a week and posted multiple updates on the website, but people either forgot or just weren’t paying attention. I’m bummed about that.

Anyway, we’re down to 197 players, so thanks to the rest of you for submitting your entries on time.

A refresher on how it works at Chicagoland: Your pick for today must finish in the top 12 Chase drivers. If he doesn’t, you have a buffer depending on how many wins you had in the regular season. The bonus points are for this week only.

For example:

— If you had one win, your driver can finish 13th among Chase drivers and you can still advance.

— If you had two wins, it’s 14th.

— If you had three wins, it’s 15th.

— If you had four or more wins (we’re looking at you, seven-time winner Adam Huth), you’re automatically through to the next round no matter what happens to your driver today.

Here are the picks for Chicagoland (along with bonus points for this week only). I grouped these by driver picks so it’ll be easy to follow along and see which of the 197 players get eliminated in Week 1. All 16 Chase drivers were picked today, so some people will definitely get eliminated.

Good luck everyone!

As of this post, there are 6.5 hours left until the deadline (midnight ET) for people to submit their Fantasy Chase picks. (UPDATE: As of midnight Sept 14, the entries are now closed.)

And you won’t believe it, but there are 91 eligible players who still haven’t sent in their picks (or sent them in incorrectly and I need them to resubmit).

Are you one of these people (full list below)? Do you know one of these people? Tell them to send their picks before midnight ET TONIGHT (Saturday) or their entire season will be for naught.

One more time, here’s the link to submit picks (UPDATE: As of midnight Sept 14, the entries are now closed.)

JOLIET, Ill. — Jon Edwards, Jeff Gordon’s public relations representative, joined the Fantasy Chase as a last-minute addition Friday at Chicagoland Speedway.

The Fantasy Chase is made of up 261 players — now 262 — who won at least one race in the 26-race regular season, which concluded last weekend at Richmond International Raceway. Edwards did not participate during the regular season, but league commissioner Jeff Gluck said Edwards was an avid fantasy player who deserves to have an opportunity.

“I should have invited Jon at the beginning of the season, but I overlooked him,” Gluck said. “I’m adding Jon because I have the authority to do that and it’s the right thing to do.”

Edwards has been Gordon’s PR rep since 2000. He is in charge of several fantasy leagues across a variety of sports, including football, soccer and Formula One.

“I’m excited to have this invitation extended,” Edwards said.

Gluck said only 139 of the eligible players had submitted their entries as of Friday afternoon, which he called “stupid.”

“I mean, hello?” he said. “People waited all year for the Fantasy Chase to start, and now it’s here and half the people haven’t signed up yet! Do people realize the deadline is Saturday at midnight Eastern time?”

The deadline to submit picks is Saturday at midnight Eastern time.

For those who need to brush up on the rules, they can be found here. To submit your picks (winners only), the form can be found here. (UPDATE: As of midnight Sept 14, the entries are now closed.)

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.

Then…

——->>>>>>> CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR PICKS (UPDATE as of midnight Sept 14, the entries are now closed) <<<<<<<<——– Please read everything carefully so I don’t have to DQ any entries. 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:

We’re down to one last race to make the Fantasy Chase.

Most of you — actually 261 out of 326 people — are already in it. That’s more than 80 percent of everyone who entered. But 65 people are still sweating it out at Richmond (you can see their picks in a special box at the bottom).

Before we get to that, two more people added themselves to the Fantasy Chase thanks to Kasey Kahne’s win Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Here are the winners:

Let’s check the overall standings with one race to go. NOTE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE MADE IT ALREADY: Check back here early next week for instructions and deadline info on how to enter the Fantasy Chase. Here are the rules for the Fantasy Chase. Thanks!!
