NASCAR

Overview

Pick6 is a peer-to-peer daily fantasy sports (DFS) contest variant offered by DraftKings. Build a lineup, also known as your “Pick Set”, by choosing 2 or more and selecting whether you believe they will outperform their stat projections. Compete in contests against other users’ Pick Sets and win prizes by making the required number of correct picks.

For NASCAR, the driver must start the race and have 1 second of lap time to be considered as having met the minimum play requirements.

If a driver does not meet the minimum play requirements in their race, all picks associated with that driver will be scored as void, regardless of selecting more or less for the pick.

If a Pick Set has one or more void picks and all of the remaining non-void picks in the Pick Set are correct, the Pick Set will win the minimum guaranteed payout in the sport and pick level of the non-void picks, in Pick6 Credits, less any cash winnings.

If a Pick Set has all but one void pick and that remaining non-void pick is correct, the player will get back their entry fee in Pick6 Credits.

If a lineup has all void picks, the player will get their entry fee back in Pick6 Credits.

DraftKings uses statistics from third-party providers, such as, but not limited to, NASCAR, for the purposes of providing race results and real-time entertainment value to its end users. DraftKings may change third-party providers from time to time without notice. For more information, please contact DraftKings customer service at support@draftkings.com.

Live scoring updates are strictly for the enjoyment of DraftKings customers. DraftKings’ official scoring validation process begins once all races within the Pick Group are final. This process ensures that DraftKings’ scoring matches official stat providers when contest results are finalized and paid out.

Once contests are finalized, a Pick Set status will change to “Completed”, and the Pick Set will move from the Live tab to the Recent tab on the My Picks page.

On occasion, official scorers may issue a stat-correction after races have ended and the official scoring validation process has completed. These corrections are rare, but can occur days after a race is run. Therefore, any changes to official scoring that occur after contests have been finalized will not impact those finalized contests. Conversely, if a correction needs to be made after contests are finalized due to a bug with the data feed or the finalization process, while extremely rare, the finalization process (including payment) may be reversed and redone correctly.

Pick stats and their more/less outcomes are intended to align with the final race results at the time of Pick6 payouts, independent of contest payout timing for other DFS formats in the same sport and involving the same races. While rare, it is possible for a final stat amount on Pick6 to differ with other DFS formats based on when contests from each format were finalized and paid out.

Note: The official scoring validation process is solely to ensure that DraftKings contest results are determined based on official scoring. Delays during this process may occur as a result of data collection or other technical difficulties. DraftKings will not attempt to make judgments on scoring rulings.

A Prize Tier is defined as the amount of picks correct and the resulting award for an entry finishing with that number of correct picks. For example, a Prize Tier in a contest could award $500 split among all entries that got 6/6 picks correct and $200 split among all entries that got 5/6 picks correct.

What Happens if No One Finishes in a Prize Tier?

If no entry meets the requirements for an individual Prize Tier posted within a contest, DraftKings will award that tier's prizes to the highest (most picks correct) Prize Tier. If no entries finish in any posted Prize Tier, entries with the highest number of correct picks in that contest will be declared the winners and awarded an equal share of the contest’s guaranteed prize pool. In the event no entry has a single correct selection, no winner can be declared and DraftKings will refund all entry fees.  

Example Scenarios for When No Entries Qualify for a Prize Tier

The table below explains what course of action DraftKings will take in the event that 0 entries qualify for a posted Prize Tier. The example contest is a 6-Pick Level contest with the following prize structure:

• $500 split among all entries with 6/6 picks correct.

• $200 split among all entries with 5/6 picks correct.

• $100 split among all entries with 4/6 picks correct.

• Entries with 0/6, 1/6, 2/6, or 3/6 picks do not win a prize.

All scenarios assume the non-mentioned payout tiers have at least one qualifying entry. For example, “No entries with 6/6 correct” assumes there are entries that got 5/6 and 4/6 correct.

Eligible NASCAR Pick6 Pick Sets must contain unique drivers. Once a driver is selected, they cannot be selected again for a different pick in the same Pick Set. For example, a NASCAR driver can be picked for fantasy points OR laps led, not both.

Stat projections can change after they have been posted. The projections at the time you submit your Pick Set are the projections your picks will be scored against.

DraftKings reserves the right to add or remove picks to a Pick Group at its discretion after the initial group of picks has been published. 

Pick groups will only contain athletes from one sport. In other words, as an example, it is not possible to have a NASCAR pick and an NFL pick in the same Pick Set. Picks must be made within the same Pick Group. The Pick Group is a particular set of games and available picks. To change Pick Groups, there is a filter on the Home pick experience.

Pick Sets may not be edited after they’ve been submitted.

If the scheduled start time for a race changes after contests for a Pick Group containing that race becomes available, DraftKings will take measures to ensure the change is reflected on the pick experience. In the rare case that a race starts before the scheduled start time, all drivers within that race will become locked as soon as our feed reflects that the race has begun. Additionally, any contest entries that were made after the real-life start time of the race will result in those Pick Sets being disqualified and entry fees refunded.

In the event that a race is canceled before it begins, all player entries will be canceled and refunded. If a race is postponed before it is scheduled to start and is rescheduled to a later time, DraftKings reserves the right to update contest start times to match the start time of the race.

Races are "known" to be canceled or postponed once their status is updated as such by DraftKings' NASCAR stats-provider, NASCAR.

If NASCAR suspends a race and the race is resumed within a week of the start of the race, then DraftKings will include the entire race to settle contests and render them final.

If NASCAR suspends a race and the race is resumed after a week of the start of the race, then DraftKings will settle the contests and render them final, provided the race is at least half completed. Otherwise, all player entries will be canceled and refunded.

If NASCAR officially shortens and finalizes a race for any reason, then the statistics that are generated for the portion of the race that has been completed will be used to settle contests and render them final.
