NASCAR: NASCAR: Subway 400 - Rockingham

dunno, is it going to be a solid race?

should be a good race, will be completly different than last weeks, will be interesting to see who has the package on the mile track

400 miles is it? Who do you like now that is gameday?

hard to tell on this one, might be the day for jarrett or rusty wallace, experiance goes a long way on this track, have to have the set up just right in order to save the tires, have to go slower in order to go faster

how does experience help?

the tires wear out so quick at this track, when the tires wear out the car slows way down, the trick will be to hit a setup that will save the tires and also drive conservativly enough so that you minimize the speed drop off and are more consistant over the entire run, it is hard to be a charger here, need to save the tires

One hour to race time!

Everyone select their drivers for the fantasy challenge?

I am looking for Rusty to snap his winless streak today.

I picked my drivers the other day,but when i went on their today it wouldn't let me pick new drivers only the ones i had last week..So i had to choose from them..

if you want to change your team of drivers you hae to do it before the qualifying on friday, if you don't you will keep the same drivers you had last week, you can switch between active and reserve drivers on your team up till race time...
WELCOME BACK TRD

Your "team" has to be selected the night before qualifying which was Thursday night. "Team" meaning your 2 A drivers, 4 B drivers, and 2 C drivers.

They let you select 8 because you then can see where your guys are in the starting grid and you can then select your "active drivers" depending on that.

That brings us to the next deadline.

You then have up to 5 minutes before the race to select your "active drivers" which is your 1 A driver, 2 B drivers, and 1 C driver.

You only get 4 drivers on race day, you pick 8 before qualifying and pick your 4 from them.

Does that clear it up any?

good explanation, i knew what i wanted to say, just didn't say it...lol

Yep i get it!

Well i will know for next time..

Just hope my drivers do well.

his car has gone loose already? whats that mean?

means that the back end wants to pass the front end, not a good thing, they can tighten it up when there is a pit stop,
