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.

"Dirt guy" Christopher Bell wins intense NASCAR Cup race on Bristol dirt

Before Sunday night's Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Christopher Bell lamented that a "dirt guy" hadn't won the NASCAR Cup Series' only race on the red clay in Thunder Valley.

Bell fixed the problem—in a race that also saw hard feelings between pole winner Kyle Larson and Ryan Preece boil over.

Holding off charging Tyler Reddick in the final stage of the 250-lap race, Bell held a slim lead over Reddick when NASCAR called the 14^thcaution with 200 yards left in the final circuit.

A dirt-track aficionado who won three straight Chili Bowl Midget Nationals from 2017-2019, Bell collected his first victory of the season and the fifth of his career.

"Man, let me tell you, these are some of the longest laps of my entire life," Bell said of the lates stages of the race. "This place is so much fun, whether it's dirt or concrete. Whenever the cushion got up there on the top, it was very tough, because you couldn't drive it super hard. Otherwise, you'd get sucked in.

"If you got your right front into it, you'd push a little bit. If you got your right rear into it, you'd slide. It was a lot of fun."

Bell used his experience on dirt to negotiate the two ends of the half-mile track, which featured markedly different racing characteristics.

"(Turns) 3 and 4, that was the scary corner for me, because if you got into it too far, you lost all your momentum," the driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota explained. (Turns) 1 and 2, I think I kept hitting the wall a couple times.

"Seems like there was a little bit more moisture up there—it would hold me better. I'm like, ‘OK, I can really attack 1 and 2.' But 3 and 4, I had to be careful… Definitely the track tonight favored experience."

Staying out on old tires after the end of Stage 2, Bell led the last 100 laps. Reddick, on the other hand, forewent a pit stop after Stage 1 and won Stage 2, but paid the price with a pit stop at the second break and rested 12^thon Lap 151.

It wasn't until Lap 223 that Reddick passed eventual fifth-place finisher Chase Briscoe for the second position, as Briscoe scraped the outside wall in Turn 4. Reddick began his pursuit of Bell, but the final caution foiled any opportunity he might have had.

"Yeah, towards the end there definitely feel like I had a little bit more," Reddick said. "I thought I had the edge, but I wasn't quite there in the last couple laps. Definitely found it.

"Just hate it for everybody on this (No. 45 23XI Racing) Toyota. Just needed to be a little bit closer than I was. I think with two (laps) to go, it would have been really bold to try to make that move work.Obviously, on the white flag coming into (Turns) 3 and 4, I was going to see. We'll never know if it (would have) worked."

Larson won 75-lap Stage 1 wire-to-wire, but he angered Preece with a move that forced the Stewart-Haas Racing driver into the outside wall. On Lap 175, 20 circuits after Larson spun and fell to the rear of the field, Preece returned the favor in Turn 4. Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet then shot to the inside into the door of Preece's No. 41 Ford before spinning into the outside wall.

"Yeah, I'm guessing he was paying me back for whatever I did earlier," said Larson, who exited the race with suspension damage to his car. "He ran me straight into the fence, and my car was broke and we crashed.

"It sucks, but I should just be mad at myself for spinning out earlier and putting myself back there. Just sucks."

Austin Dillon ran third, followed by Daytona 500 winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Briscoe and Justin Haley, as drivers with dirt-track backgrounds claimed the top six finishing positions. Martin Truex Jr., Todd Gilliland, Kevin Harvick and Ty Gibbs completed the top 10.

"I just have to thank (Speedway Motorsports Inc.) for all of the hard work they've done with this dirt racing," Dillon said. "I don't care what anybody says, that was an amazing show throughout the field. I felt like it was some great racing."
