How To Play Daily Fantasy NASCAR Contests

Looking to cash in on your NASCAR knowledge? Fantasy Sports Live just might be the right place for you to do just that.

Here's how, in just a few easy steps:

Step 1. To get started, you need an account at Fantasy Sports Live. You can sign up by going to the site and hitting the "open an account" button. You'll be asked for your name, address, email address, a nickname to be used on the site, and a couple other easy questions. If you decide to fund your account - which you can do with Paypal or a credit card - be sure to fill in the "bonus code" box (may I humbly suggest bonus code BONDS) in order to get the best signup bonus available. Free money, which you can use to check the site out.

Step 2. Once you have an account, it's time to check out the available contests. On the main page of Fantasy Sports Live, you'll see a Contest Lobby with a list of all contests. Forget that, we're talking NASCAR.

To filter out basketball and hockey, click on the "RACING" tab at the top:

That should give you a list of JUST the NASCAR contests.

Step 3. Next, decide what you're interested in playing. As you can see, you can choose from heads up, 6 player and 10 player contests, at stakes ranging from $1 to $107:

(If you want more information on how the contests are scored, click the "RULES" tab near the top of the page).

(Also, if you want to play something that's not offered, I'd suggest emailing support).

Step 4. Okay, you've made your decision as to what you want to play. Click on the underlined contest name (or the view button) for the contest of your choice to open the "Contest Details" lobby. As you can see, I'm being bold and playing a $1 contest with 10 players. You can also see that prizes are $5 for first, $3 for second and $2 for third, that there is a "ranking cap" of 1000 points, and that the Nationwide Camping World 300 and the Daytona 500 are the races involved.

In order to sign up for the contest, I just had to check the two "I agree" boxes and click on the "REGISTER" button, which gets me to ...

Step 5. Now it's time to select my lineup. I have to pick up to 4 drivers in the Nationwide race and 5 from Daytona using my 1000 points. Each driver has a point value, based on his historical performance.

You can see I have already made a selection of Carl Edwards in the Nationwide. All I did was click the button next to his name on the player list. You can move back and forth between the 2 races by clicking the underlined title, and if you need to remove a guy you've selected, just click the red "X" next to his name to open up the slot.

Step 6. Once you've made your selections, you can name your team if you wish, then hit the "Play" button. I'm not giving you a screen cap here because you don't need to know my super secret NASCAR strategery (lol). You'll go back to the Contest Details lobby. You're playing!

If you get buyer's remorse and want to change your lineup, from the Contest Details lobby just click on one of your picks to re-open the team selection process.

So there you have it - playing daily Fantasy NASCAR contests as Fantasy Sports Live is super easy, fun and (if you know your stuff) profitable. Check it out this season!
