Welcome to the start of the 2019 NASCAR season and the return of the NASCAR Twin Contests! Read on for the details and rules, but if you have any questions, feel free to post them here and I will answer them as soon as possible.
Post your picks for one or both contests here. There are no restrictions on how often you must participate, and new participants are welcome to join at any time! In addition, new contests will begin throughout the year. Different contests will begin at Daytona (Feb), Las Vegas (March), Charlotte (May), Pocono (June), Darlington (Sept), and Las Vegas (Sept).
The Twin Contests for this race are:
--- Repeating History ---
- Pick one driver whose car number was also raced by a driver in this race 50 years ago.
- Take note that this contest will take place for races 1, 2, 13, 24, 25, and 26 this year.
- Scoring: 30 minus the absolute value difference between the two finishing positions of your car number.
- Fictional example: You pick #99, which finished 5th in 1969 and finishes 12th this year. You would earn 23 points, because 30-|5-12|=23.
- Car numbers you can choose from for this race: 1, 3, 4, 6, 10, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 32, 34, 36, 41, 43, 47, 48, 88 (and possibly 27, 71, 96 which do not have guaranteed starting spots).

--- Overachiever of the Race ---
- Pick a chartered team that you think will finish well above their current position in owner standings. You cannot pick the same team in two consecutive races.
- Scoring: Your team's owner point position prior to the race minus their finishing position.
- Owner Standings: www.motorsportsone.com/2018-own.htm
- For the first 3 races of the season, 2018 owner standings will be used with the following changes:
#78 --> #19
#31 --> #8
#19 --> #77 (#40 for Daytona only)
#72 --> #52
#23 --> #36
