Introduction 2009 CBSSports.com Fantasy Racing 2009 CBSSports.com Fantasy Racing (the "Promotion") is the next best thing to being down in the pit! We'll put you in charge of your own team of 5 Sprint Cup drivers. You will choose 1 driver from each of the 5 tiers of drivers. The better they finish, the more fantasy points your team will accumulate. The Promotion consists of 3 separate segments (the "Segment(s)"). Your team's fantasy points will be equal to the total Sprint Cup points accumulated by your drivers in their races. At the end of each week of a Segment the eligible participant with the most fantasy points will win a weekly prize (the "Weekly Prize"). At the end of each Segment the eligible participant with the highest point total for the Segment will win the segment prize (the "Segment Prize"). At the end of the Promotion the eligible participant with the highest point total for all 3 Segments will win the Promotion grand prize (the "Grand Prize") Drivers' tiers will not change during a Segment. New drivers will not be added to a tier during a Segment. Tiers may change between Segments. Your team will NOT carry over from week to week, so you will have to enter a new team of drivers each week you wish to participate. You can select a team any week during the Contest, even if you've missed one or more prior weeks. The Fantasy Racing season will consist of 3 Segments: the first Segment consists of 13 races, the 2nd Segment consists of 13 races, and the 3rd Segment consists of the last 10 races. Each Segment is, and will be conducted as a single contest (the "Contest(s)"). No Cost The Contests are FREE to play for the entire season! No purchase or entry fee necessary to enter or win.

Teams will NOT carry over from week to week. Team Selecting Deadline The Promotion will run, corresponding to the 36 races chosen by the Contest Entities from the 2009 Sprint Cup schedule, which are divided into 3 separate Segments. The first Segment will begin on 1/8/2009 and end on 5/31/2009. The second Segment will begin on 6/1/2009 and end on 9/12/2009. The third Segment will begin on 9/13/2009 and end on 11/22/2009.

If you fail to create a team for a certain race, you will be awarded zero points toward your overall total. Although it isn't necessary to participate in each race, it is strongly encouraged since the eligible participant with the most points over the course of each Segment wins the Segment Prize. Events Schedule Below is a list of races that will be used in the Promotion. Remember, not every Sprint Cup event is included in the Contest.
Winner Notification Winners will be notified via the valid e-mail address that was entered when signing up for the contest. Notification will be made for all prizes within four weeks following the completion of each segment to allow time for the verification of all data and scores. Scoring Points Scoring in the Contest is simple. Your team will earn one point for each Sprint Cup point earned by your drivers. Your total team score for each weekly race is the total of all the Sprint Cup points earned by your drivers for that race. Your total Segment score is the combined total of all your weekly race scores. Sprint Cup points are earned on the following basis: In the chart below, the shaded boxes represent a driver's finishing position, and to the right of each shaded box is the number of points earned for that finishing position. Additionally, any driver who leads at least one lap during the race receives 5 bonus points, and the driver who led the most laps during the race receives 5 bonus points. Note that the same driver can earn both bonus point awards. Bonus Points that are awarded to a driver for leading laps in a race are included in that driver's total score that we post for the race. When the race is completed, the points shown for each driver reflect the total score, including bonus, for the race.
