I don't know. I thought it was worth a shot. I wanted to give everyone a fair shot, because you know, you just never know. You can't predict things in advance, and like I said, I thought I'd give it a try. Why not, right?
Hey Everyone, it's Tony20Fan here! Or known as Michael! I know I've been gone for awhile, and so I wanted to come back to this site! I've missed it so much, and I've missed all of you. So here's the deal, I want to bring a new trivia/fantasy game to this site in Feb! Starting in the paragraph below, it's going to be all explained for you. If you want to join, say so as a comment below. Any questions, message me. Thanks. Read below:
This is a game that is being brought over to this site in 2013 for the first time! It is already on several sites ( http://nascarnation.us and http://nascar.com ), and we are expanding it to get more players in on the fun. This game has been running strong for over 10 years now, and we're looking to keep it going!
Here is the way this game works:
RULES:
POINTS:
- Each race week, there will be a "Round" posted as a thread here. A Round consists of 3 Trivia questions, along with one Fantasy prediction of who will finish 1st and 2nd in the race.
- Players earn points over the season based on how many of the questions/predictions they got right. Accumulate the most points to win!
- Your answers/picks must be submitted before the deadline (usually half-an-hour before the green flag) each race week.
- There will be 3 segments, of 12 rounds each. There will be a total of 3 winners crowned. We need 3 hosts. If you want to host or are thinking of maybe, then LET ME KNOW! or say so below. I'm trying to get as many different people as possible, and I promise it would be an experience you wouldn't forget.
- Each of the 3 Trivia questions is worth 5 points.
- The Fantasy prediction (who you think will finish 1st and 2nd in that weekend's race) is worth however many points those two drivers earned in the real-life race (i.e. 2nd place gets 42 points, 3rd gets 41, etc.). The maximum points you can get in this category is 91.
- Whoever earns the most points from those combined two categories earns an extra 5 bonus points. These 5 bonus points are called a "win".
- These four categories makes the maximum possible points 111.
The reason this is being posted so early is so that we can get an approximate estimation of how many players will join. If you have any additional questions about this game or how it works, just post here or message me and I will get to you as soon as possible. If you want to play this game in 2013 (don't worry, we'll remind you again in February so you don't forget), please say so in the posts below. This will help us greatly about what to expect for this upcoming year.
Thanks, we hope to see you play with us in 2013!

Hey guys, so what do you think of how this Chase is shaping up? I think it is going to be an exciting bunch of races coming up. Anybody can win, and everyone can lose. For me personally, I think only the top 10 still have a shot to win it. The other two in 11th and 12th, I think are out of it now. Everyone thinks Brad K, will do very well. I agree, but I don't think he'll win. I'd bet all doubts against him that he won't. It's just becuaseI can't see that happening, that's all. Stewart won the last 2 races, coming on strong. He could be a serious contender if he keeps this up. Johnson has failed lately, not getting that good results and rather dropping then rising. Who knows what is up with that. Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards seem like the average guys, nothing special about them, but they are always there. That is what makes them a threat to win it. In my opinion I think after the final race of the chase, Kevin Harvick will finish 3rd, Tony Stewart 2nd, and Jeff Gordon will be the 2011 Cup Champion. There you go, you heard me, what are your thoughts? Who do you think will win? And don't say it's to early to pick, based on past races, you can still make a realistic guess.

Hey Everyone, I know a lot of you may be new to this site, or you could have been here a long time. Whatever the case may be, I'm putting up a challenge here. All I want you to do, is say one interesting thing/fact about yourself. This will just help us to get to know one another and connect. Especially if you just joined, this is a great chance to let people know, you're here! So there you go! It's just for fun, and I hope you take the time to do it! Thanks! BTW, one thing about me, I like all kinds of foods. There is nothing of any type I havn't liked. And I'm not allergic to anything.

I know a lot of you thought that Tony Stewart may not have that great of a shot to win the Cup, or even be in contention. Well, after that run on Monday, I think that clearly puts him in contention for the title. He won the race and is ranked 2nd in points. Everything that happened before the point of the chase, doesn't matter. It's only about now and the races to come, it's a new start for Stewart. Now is his time to shine, and I think he can win the title. If he puts on solid runs like he did this past race, he very well can. What do you think? Can he?

Hey Everyone, my Equals Two Video is coming along great! There's one thing to be glad about! However, for it to be complete, I need a comment question to go at the end. SO, ANYONE or hopefully everyone, can do this part. Just think of any question you have, and post it below here as a comment. That is your comment question then. Think of anything, it can be related to NASCAR, like who is your favortie driver? Or favorite track? Or non-NASCAR related, like what is for dinner? Where did you go last night? Anything at all is allowed. Just make sure it's an opinion question, in which there is no wrong answers. Make sure you take the time to do this, it's really quick so it shouldn't take long. Any none tech savy people can do this easily. Just whatever question comes to your mind, post it below. As a result, everytime I have a video, I end with the comment question of the day from someone here. You will get the credit for the question, and then everyone will get the oppurtunity to answer your question. Simple enough, I think so! Let's get going, and get those questions asked!
Hey Everyone, welcome to the opening of my dreams coming true. It's only possible with your help, so that's why, this is my step one. My dream has been to be living in LA, attend UCLA, and have a career in the Youtube/Talk Host buisness. To be a pro-youtuber as a living, make videos as a living. Or, to be a host of a popular TV show like Ryan S for American Idol. Or, to be a on the music radio stations. You see, for me to do the youtube thing, the series I'm doing on this site is the step one. I'm giving it a try, hoping you help, cause really, I have nothing to lose, only things to gain. Here's how it goes: As the title of the blog says, I'm doing a webcast on this site called Equals Two. I take two NASCAR/non NASCAR videos from you, and review them with humour/nascar type commentary. It's like my opinion on the videos but in a cool way. Have you heard of RayWilliamJohnson? He's number two all-time on youtube. What I'm about to do is what he does, but with you guys. I hope this works, cause this is my life-long goal. I can't do my own videos, so all I need you to do is send me a link to videos you think would be cool to have me do. Just send me the link to the video by a comment below this blog, as a message to me on here or as a e-mail. It can be of a NASCAR fight, crash, outstanding last lap win, F1, anything to do with cars that's a video or non NASCAR related things like a dog or a kid. Doesn't matter, send whatever, I can do it all. Although taking this is a NASCAR site, it should most likely be NASCAR related, just saying. There's good videos on youtube you can get, or elsewhere. So, that's it. Once I have two videos, I can do the first Equals Two, and you'll help my dream. The others will be saved for other episodes. The one goal I have, is for this to be a big hit under the video spot on this site. Since this would be the only series, I hope it would! So thanks for reading this and helping me out! Remember to pick a video and send it to me!!! Thanks! Have a great day everyone!
Mike. CC
