Who is eligible to play?

The game is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old when they register. Additional exclusions do apply, review the [Official Rules](https://fantasygames.nascar.com/36for36/rules) for the complete eligibility requirements.

How are weekly points calculated?

Your Weekly Race Points equal the points earned by your selected car from finishing position and stage results, plus one possible fastest-lap bonus point. Weekly totals are added across the season to determine the overall standings.

When does my weekly pick lock?

Your selection must be submitted no later than five minutes before the race's posted official start time. NASCAR.com servers are the official time clock. If a race start is delayed, the game may extend the pick deadline.

What happens if I forget to select a car for that week?

You will receive zero points for that race. You may return the following week and make a pick for the next race.

Can I reuse a car later in the season?

No. Once a car has been used as your pick, it cannot be selected again during the 2026 season. Use the History page to review used cars and see which choices remain.

Can I join after the season has started?

Yes. You may enter at any time while registration remains open. However, you will not receive points for races that occurred before you joined or for any week in which you did not make a pick.

When does the game run?

From Feb 12, 2026 (Daytona 500) through Nov 8, 2026 (Homestead Finale). Registration opens Feb 10, 2026.
