Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Auto Racing is a weekly game that begins with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, February 15, 2009, and runs through the Ford 400 on Sunday, November 22, 2009.

In addition, the season is broken down into three segments. The first segment (Spring) begins with the Daytona 500 (February 15) and ends with the Southern 500 (May 9). The second segment (Summer) starts with the Coca-Cola 600 (May 24) and runs through the Sharpie 500 (August 22). The third segment (Fall) starts with the Pep Boys Auto 500 (September 6) and runs through the Ford 400 (November 22).

All groups will have a score sheet for each segment of the season, as well as a fourth that shows the overall score earned by your team throughout the full season.

You can join the game anytime between Tuesday, January 13, 2009, and Saturday, November 21, 2009. The game is comprised of weekly contests that begin on Monday and conclude on Sunday, unless Monday racing is required to decide a real-life race winner.

The deadline to create a team for each race is 2:00 a.m. PT on the day of qualifying.
