The 2026 Nascar Cup series season is just few weeks away, and we are ready to host your fantasy Nascar pool. As part of our preparations for the new season, we will set up our default Car and Driver groups, as well as Driver salaries. Salary choices are influenced both by final standings and actual points earned in 2025. These default salaries are ideally suited for Nascar pools of 7 or 8 drivers per entry. What’s interesting is more drivers per entry will make it tougher to add the top salaries, while less drivers should make it easier, but be sure to pick them wisely.
These defaults are just one option & can be seen on our site as “Nascar Pools Online Groups/ Salaries” or “NPO Groups/ Salaries”. You will still be able to setup your own groups and salaries and are identified as “Custom Groups/ Salaries”. All ‘Salary’ based pools still have to work within a cap of $1000 (you just set the salaries according to how loaded you want entries to be), and you can even use ‘Salary Cap’ as an option for Pick’em style pools.
