INTRODUCING – Taz’s NASCAR In-Season Tournament

Aside

Reply

NASCAR started its first-ever In-Season Challenge in 2025. It’s coming back in 2026 with a small twist.

NASCAR is not having three ‘seeding races’ to determine which drivers will. earn, what seed for the knockout stages. I, Taz Taylor, say for 2026 bring back the “seeding races!”

Fan4Racing (F4R)l 110 Nation, and Race Chat Live (RCL) want to challenge YOU, THE FANS!!!

Here is how the tournament will work

Michigan, Pocono, and San Diego are the seeding races.

Drivers will race to earn the best position possible to get themselves the best seed in the knockout rounds.

The top 32 drivers with the BEST AVERAGE FINISH of the three seeding races will qualify for the knockout rounds.

After the San Diego race, the knockout bracket will be released for YOU, THE FANS, to fill out (released on Monday, June 22nd)

All you have to do is pick which driver will do better than the other in the matchup, similar to March Madness basketball.

Whether it is one of us at F4R, 110, or RCL, or if it is one of you fans that score the most points in the tournament, YOU WILL BE THE CHAMPION!

The Points Breakdown

  • Round of 32 correct picks = 10 points
  • Super 16 correct picks = 20 points
  • Elite 8 correct picks = 40 points
  • Fast 4 correct picks = 80 points
  • Championship Final correct picks = 160 points
  • * Tiebreaker: What position will the In-Season Tournament champion finish?

Fantasy Report: for the NASCAR Cup Series at Watkins Glen

Posted on by

This is your Fantasy Report for the NASCAR Cup Series at Watkins Glen International to help you with your picks this weekend. This week’s report is prepared as usual with the assistance of NASCAR and iFantasy.

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Watkins Glen International this weekend for a return to road-course racing. With the race falling earlier on the calendar than usual and a new, higher-horsepower package in play, teams and drivers should expect a steep learning curve.

Watkins Glen also has several updates aimed at safety and track limits. Last year, officials reduced the curbing in the bus stop to improve safety and driver comfort. They also added rumble strips in the first turn runoff to discourage off-track excursions and moved the restart zone to the straight before the seventh turn. This year, tire packs were added at the first turn and the Carousel to help enforce track limits.

Drivers will need to adjust to these changes this weekend, and the quickest to adapt will gain an edge.
