The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be in Charlotte again this week for the Coca-Cola 600. The Charlotte Motor Speedway is a 1.5-mile quad-oval track. This year’s race will be a 400-lap race with four 100-lap stages. Last year’s winner was Martin Truex Jr., who led 392 of the 400 laps from the pole position.

The drivers have not yet completed qualifying for their start positions in Sunday’s race. You can find their practice times and the updated qualifying times/positions prior to race time at the following link: NASCAR Race Center.


Driver Selections and Points


Each contestant will choose three drivers for the weekly STEEM Cup Series from the field of qualifying drivers here. Based on the number of drivers and the final results of the race, drivers will be assigned points as follows:


ResultsPoints Awarded
1st place40
2nd place39
3rd place38
......
38th place3
39th place2
40th place1


Once these points are tallied, they will be divided by 2. After the points are divided, the following bonus points will be awarded/deducted:

+15 points for the race winner.

+10 points for unique driver combinations. If two or more contestants select the same drivers, then only the first contestant to post those selections will earn the bonus points. ENTRIES THAT ARE NOT UNIQUE DRIVER COMBINATIONS WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE RACE WINNER BONUS (+15 points)

+3 points for each driver finishing the race ahead of MY DRIVER.

-2 points for each driver finishing the race behind MY DRIVER.

My selected driver for the Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race is: DENNY HAMLIN
Contestants cannot choose DENNY HAMLIN as one of their drivers for this race.

@ats-david. I added up all of the points from last week, divided by two and then added the bonuses, and I had 78 points. I'm not sure if you added them differently than you said you would or I finished within the top three and you missed me. Please let me know. Thanks.

The All-Star race was 20 drivers, so the point totals per driver started at 20 and ran down to 1. Your point total was:


DriverPoints
Kyle Busch20
Harvick15
Logano13
TOTAL48
Divided by 224


You then received +3 for Busch, and -4 for Harvick and Logano, due to the MY DRIVER results. This brought your total to 23 points.

10 points were added for a unique driver combination and 15 points were added for selecting the race winner, bringing your total to 48 points.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you. I now see where my error occurred. I figured that there were 40 drivers in the race. My mistake, sorry.

No problem. If you ever think that something might be wrong, feel free to ask about it.

Also - don't forget that these points will carry over for the monthly and season contests.
