If
you’re not an avid fan of NASCAR (I know, roll your eyes, but it’s not everyone’s
cup of performance fuel), it’s time to join in. The Chase is on. Sixteen drivers
are official contenders for the 2015 cup.
A
staff reporter at NASCAR.com
provided an understandable description about how the point system works for the
Chase. Every driver in contention starts with 2000 points. Three bonus points
are awarded every win during the regular season. Ties are broken by position in finishes
(second, third, fourth, etc.) until a winner of the tiebreaker is determined.
Racing
excitement will continue to build through the Sprint Cup Contender and
Eliminator Rounds. Print out free race car coloring
sheets for the kids and use the finished artwork as décor. Gather around
the track or TV and root your favorite driver to victory!

Who
is your favorite NASCAR driver?
I don't know the first thing about NASCAR, but I am going to my first race in a few weeks, so I am excited to learn about it.
ReplyDeleteI also don't know a whole lot about NASCAR but I do occasionally watch with my husband. I know for some, there is nothing better. Good luck to all!
ReplyDeleteI love Nacar racing. #88 Dale Earnhardt Jr is my favorite. I hope to go to the Daytona 500 next year. Catherine S
ReplyDeleteI have watched Nascar now and then. I guess I really don't have a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to take my boys to a nascar race. On my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteNascar is huge in my husband's family. They all really like watching the races.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly pick a favorite as I really don't know any of them enough to choose. I wish them all luck though!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to a big NASCAR race. Someday I hope to cross it off my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteMy bff since 8th grade (that was a looong time ago) loves Nascar. She talks about the drivers like they're friends. :)
ReplyDeleteI don;t watch it on tv but I would love to take the kids to a live race. That would be awesome!
