PLAY NOW: Play the Chase Grid Battle Game here
The points have been tallied, the smoke cleared and the 16-car field set for the 2015 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Over the next 10 races, drivers will race with everything on the line and battle for limited slots per round, all for a chance to compete in the season’s final event -- the Championship 4 race at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Sprint Cup Series title.
And now, fans have the opportunity to get their hands on the action, excitement and drama that comes with the playoffs.
The Chase Grid™ Battle Powered by Bing is an interactive activity that allows fans to follow and participate in the playoffs live, selecting the drivers they think will advance to the next round. Lineups will be scored based upon finishing order and correct selections. Each race is scored so participants are encouraged to set a lineup each round and check back each week for results.
The game will utilize Bing Predicts technology, a system whose résumé includes making accurate predictions for the Women's World Cup and Tour de France and correctly predicting all 15 knockout games in the men's World Cup. The round-by-round forecasts will update throughout the Chase and can help users advance to a fantasy championship.
Participants can either choose to form a public or private league to compete against their friends, or join a public league, which can incorporate up to 500 individuals.
Registration is now underway until Nov. 1, but selections are only allowed when the rounds initially open. Fans have the best chance to win prizes if their entries are submitted prior to the first deadline. The deadline to make the first round of picks is Sunday, Sept. 20 at 3 p.m. ET, which coincides with the start of the opening Chase race at Chicagoland Speedway (3 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN).
