A Sheep at the Wheel returns to once again fail to lay waste to the competition. I’ll register tonight. Thanks for starting the league. ---

Only 5 so far. Doesn’t have to be exclusive to Dopers. Involve your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues. ---

Is this easy enough for a complete newbie to play? ---

Yes, it’s very easy. The drivers are split in three category, the better one, the medium ones and the want-to-be. You get to pick four drivers for each point race, one from the better list, two from the medium list and one from the want-to-be list. You can only pick a driver a total of 9 times for the whole season. You have to have selected your drivers for a given race usually before they qualify. You get awarded points based on where your drivers finish. Obviously, you need some knowledge of NASCAR to make good picks. Oh, and it costs nothing to play and pays nothing to win. ---

I’ll give it a shot. I used to follow NASCAR regularly and since I think I’ll be working most Sunday afternoons during summer, I’ll be watching a lot of racing this year since the work tv’s selection is very limited. I’m in as Rusty Wallace’s Beer. ---

A woman wins the Daytona pole? The conspiracy people say it’s a ploy for ratings. ---

OK, after the thrashing I took last season I swore I was done forever, but it appears I can’t stay away. I’m in as [Rapid Roy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aUl9l1O7sE). Looking forward to another season! ---

And we’re off… My usual luck stays in place for Daytona - and that’s not good ---

We all know that picking top finishers at Daytona is a crap shoot. Now the real challenge of choosing the winner begins. ---
