It’s Friday, you are finishing work. If you are a male, in your 30’s making about $70,000 a year, what is the one thing you will do next? Well according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association you are going to set up your fantasy league teams and players. I’m not just talking about Football or Golf. I mean your fantasy NASCAR drivers.

Yes NASCAR is growing everywhere, not just in real life interest but as a fantasy game. The industry may have started back in the 1980’s for baseball but it has grown and with that growth has come NASCAR. ESPN is currently in the middle of its ninth year for the Stock Car Challenge, and CBS Sportsline has offered auto racing games since 2001.

Are you in a league yet? There are many of them and I’m not sure what fan wouldn’t want to have, say Jeff Gordon, driving for them. Even better is the fact that if you look carefully you can really find some wonderful leagues, like nascarfantasyleague.com .

Run by Mr. Steve Crozier, the champion gets awarded a plaque and a winner’s check. On top of that this fantasy league annually donates proceeds to the Victory Junction Gang Camp. Now there is incentive and a big heart.

Well it’s Friday, and it’s time for me to get cracking. Maybe I’ll see you at the checkered flag, in my fantasy rearview mirror.
