Weekly Races: Each week before the race contestants login and pick 8 drivers, who will win the race, and how many lead changes there will be. Points are awarded depending on how well their drivers do that week (points awarded on how the drivers finished, the higher the driver finishes the more points awarded). Only the contestant's top 5 drivers generate points. Only 3 drivers can be switched out each week. If a contestant does not login and make changes to his team before a race, the team used in the race the week before will be used again. Additional bonus points are awarded for having five drivers finish in the top ten and for picking the winner of the race. If there is a tie, the number of lead changes is used as the tiebreaker (over or under the lead changes number is used when there is a tied number on both the over and the under. The under number is awarded the win). If there is a tie on lead changes without going over, a random drawing will be held to decide the weekly winner. Points are only given for the top 20 finishing drivers.

The official entry list for each weekly race is normally released on Tuesdays. The Race Day Challenge list of drivers will be updated by midnight on the Tuesday before each weekly race.

Scores and standings are updated after the official results are posted for each race. The official results are normally posted on Mondays around 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
