Each driver in Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Auto Racing can be an active member of your team in no more than nine races.
For the purposes of this game, a driver must be active for a race (not during qualifying) in order to receive credit for a race started. Likewise, a driver who is on your team but remains inactive during the race doesn't get credit for a race started.
When a driver has reached the nine-race limit, he no longer accumulates any fantasy points for your team, even if he occupies an active roster spot. This limit doesn't change, regardless of when you join the game.
Your driver's start totals do not reset at that half-way point of the season. If you start your driver nine times during the first half of the season, he isn't eligible to earn ANY fantasy points (neither qualifying nor start points) for the remainder of the season.
If you reach the nine-race limit for a driver on your current roster, you aren't able to release him and then reacquire him. You can keep the driver on your roster, but he no longer accumulates any points.
If a driver is on your active roster for a given race, but doesn't drive in that real-life event, he isn't credited with a race started.
The number of races each driver has started for you are listed along with all of his other stats.
