Scoring Notes

Place Differential = (Starting Position) – (Finishing Position) Example: If a driver starts in 20th position and finishes in 10th place then his Place Differential is +10.
A driver's starting position is based on his qualifying position. If a driver's qualifying position is disallowed, his starting position will be his new spot at the back of the race. If a driver's starting position changes between qualifying and the start of the race for any other reason (e.g. going to a backup car) the original qualifying position will be used to calculate place differential.
Points for Finishing Position and Place Differential will be updated in real-time during the race. Drivers will gain points as they move up in position and lose points as they drop in position.
Finishing Position is defined as the driver's standing order at the end of the race. Disqualifications related to same-day post-race inspection will not change a driver's Finishing Position, Laps Led, or Fastest Laps stats.

Lineup Requirements

Lineups will consist of 6 drivers.

Player Pool

The Player Pool will consist of all NAS drivers expected to be participating in the upcoming race. Occasionally a driver may be missing from the Player Pool due to injury or other unforeseen circumstances.

In most circumstances, once the Player Pool is established, including positions and salaries, the Player Pool will not be adjusted. In the rare event that there is a mistake within the Player Pool that would significantly impact game quality, DraftKings reserves the right to correct the mistake after contests have become available. This may result in valid lineups becoming invalid. This would most likely occur shortly after the Player Pool becomes available, far in advance of the contest start time, and participants who have entered contests prior to the adjustment will be notified via email.

Position Eligibility

Driver eligibility determinations and decisions around driver inclusion into the player pool are at the sole discretion of DraftKings. If a driver withdraws, gets substituted out before the race, or does not end up participating in the race for any reason, that driver will receive zero fantasy points.

However, if a driver begins a race and gets replaced (for injury or any other reason), the stats earned by the original driver and his replacement will count for the original driver.

Lineup Edits

Lineups may be edited at any time leading up to a race. Each individual driver will become "locked" at the scheduled start time of the race. A locked driver cannot be added or removed from a roster spot.

Canceled, Postponed, and Rescheduled Races

In the event that a race is cancelled before it begins, all player entries will be cancelled and refunded. If a race is postponed before it is scheduled to start and is rescheduled to a later time, DraftKings reserves the right to update contest start times to match the start time of the race.

Races are "known" to be canceled or postponed once their status is updated as such by DraftKings' NASCAR stats-provider, NASCAR.

Suspended or Shortened Races

If NASCAR suspends a race and the race is resumed within a week of the start of the race, then DraftKings will include the entire race to settle contests and render them final.

If NASCAR suspends a race and the race is resumed after a week of the start of the race, then DraftKings will settle the contests and render them final, provided the race is at least half completed. Otherwise, all player entries will be cancelled and refunded.

If NASCAR officially shortens and finalizes a race for any reason, then the statistics that are generated for the portion of the race that has been completed will be used to settle contests and render them final.

Kyle Larson continues hot streak with NASCAR All-Star Race win

Kyle Larson earned a $1 million paycheck and his second NASCAR All-Star Race victory in three seasons - putting on a racing master class Sunday evening at Texas Motor Speedway.

Larson was part of a frenetic three-wide move for the race lead with eight laps remaining - himself and runner-up Brad Keselowski splitting the car driven by Larson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott to make the move forward.

Larson pulled his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in front of the field and while Keselowski was able to get to his bumper a couple times thereafter, the Penske driver was unable to make a pass in the closing laps of the race.

It was a thrilling finish to a new six-segment 100-lap race format - with no NASCAR Cup Series championship points on the line, but plenty of bragging rights to claim. Larson's other All Star Race win came in 2019 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He is one of only eight drivers in NASCAR history to win multiple All Star races.

This is Larson's third consecutive victory on the schedule - counting wins at the previous two regular season races - at Charlotte and Sonoma. He has three points-paying wins and sits second in the NASCAR Cup Series championship.

"It was wild," a smiling Larson said from Texas's victory lane. "This format set up for an exciting finish and there was a lot of grip on this race track for us to be passing. It was a helluva race from my seat."

Fans in the packed grandstands apparently agreed - standing on their feet for much of the night and definitely during the final frenetic laps.

"That last restart worked out exactly how I needed it to," Larson elaborated later. "I wanted Chase [Elliott] to not get a good run down the back. Thankfully, I think the 12 [Blaney] got to his inside and I just shoved him down the back and he probably thought I was going to just follow him and I was like, ‘there's got to be enough grip where we'd be running for one corner.'

"It was a little slick up there, but I was able to get it and then hold him off from there," the 28-year old Californian continued with a smile. "I can't believe it."

Larson ultimately held off Keselowski by a scant .206-seconds. Elliott was third, followed by Penske teammates Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney. Hendrick Motorsports' other two cars - driven by Alex Bowman and William Byron finished sixth and seventh, respectively. Byron's 30 laps out front were most on the night.

Aric Almirola, Kyle Busch and his older brother Kurt Busch rounded out the Top-10 in the 21-car field.

The new All Star race format included random inverts in three of the early stages and a pit stop contest during the race that earned a $100,000 prize for Elliott's No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports team.

The final 10-lap run however, was every bit the wild and competitive flair expected for the sport's annual All Star feature. Blaney, who restarted from the second row in that segment made a daring move toward the lead at the at the final green flag dueling with Elliott and Larson.

And Keselowski briefly took the lead while he and Larson negotiated their three-wide move around Elliott, only to have Larson claim the lead right back. He led 17 of the 100 laps on the evening, most importantly the final seven.

"It feels like just to run second to the Hendrick cars right now is kind of an accomplishment," Keselowski said. "They're just stupid fast and I had him off Turn 4 but they just have so much speed. He just motored right on back by me.

"But feels like a first-in-class day with the Discount Tire Ford. [Crew chief] Jeremy Bullins and the team did a great of executing and getting us in position. We just didn't have enough speed to make the most of it, but good execution day and I'm proud of that."

Ross Chastain, Tyler Reddick and Almirola advanced to the featured All Star Race by way of The Open - a 50-lap qualifier held earlier in the evening. Chastain and Reddick won stages and Almirola winning the last stage for the victory. Wood Brothers Racing driver Matt DiBenedetto advanced to The All Star race by virtue of fan vote and finished 17th.
