This tournament is based on the NASCAR Spint Cup playoff system known as The Chase. During this tournament, we will play the last 10 races of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season, The Chase, in a series of standard games.Basics

There will be a qualifying stage for every race, followed by a game for every 100 miles of the race. At the end of every race, points will be awarded for that race based on position of finish. Bonus points will be awarded for winning your qualifying stage, leading a lap, leading the most laps, winning, and moving up the most positions in the race. After all 10 races are complete, the driver with the most points will be crowned the Sprint Cup Champion!!Eliminations and Tiebreakers
