| Bristol Motor Speedway, Home to round of 32 and the Sweet 16 |
Here is how it works, so it doesn't get dragged out too long, the first match up and second match up will come from Bristol Results. (So the round of 32 and Sweet 16 will be determined this Sunday). Next the Elite 8 will be played (raced) at Fontana, CA. Martinsville results will be taken for the Final Four and the Championship race will be at Texas Motor Speedway. The winner each round will be determined by who had the most points in that given race. So once Nascar goes to Fontana it will only take into account the points in that race and not any from Bristol.
So who do you got? Here is how the bracket has been set, I will update after every race.

**Brian Vickers in the spot of Mark Martin for Bristol, assuming Mark will be back for Sonoma, just listed as #55 Car**
A few interesting first round match up's:
1) Brad Keselowski vs 8) Ryan Newman
- This would be a huge match up no matter the track. Newman has started off struggling which is why he ended up an eight seed (almost didn't make the cut) but we all know he can drive. With this being Bristol it is the perfect track to start out on because anything can happen. After all that's what is so great about the Big Dance.
- Denny has had some bad luck at Bristol in the past 6 here. He has either fared well or got caught up in a wreck. That's not a goo thing for him in first round since he is matched with Kurt. Kurt is a good driver here at Bristol and back in the day was one of the best. Possible upset in round one.
- This is defiantly one of the closest match ups on paper. Both drivers can be Chase contenders at the end of the season. Not only this match up, but whoever gets out alive has a chance to take down #1 seed Dale Earnhardt Jr in the next round (Also scheduled for Bristol).
1) Dale Jr vs Kahne/Harvick
- Whichever wins in round one, they will bring a possible upset in the Sweet 16 against Jr. The winner of this round could go on to the Final Four from the Division.
- Kyle could be in victory lane at Bristol, which would mean he would get out of round one and take down Jimmie Johnson in the same race. Kyle can drive the wheels off of the car at Bristol so watch out for him to move along easily.
- Both very consistent drivers for the past few seasons, these two could match up in round two at Bristol this weekend. A close match up that would result in facing most likely Kyle Busch or Jimmie Johnson for a chance at the Final Four
- Bristol Motor Speedway (3/17): Round of 32 and Sweet 16
- Auto Club 400, Fontana, CA(3/24): Elite 8
- Martinsville Speedway (5/7): Final Four
- Texas Motor Speedway (5/13): Finals
Well that's it folks. Hurry up and fill out your bracket (Sorry no Million Dollar prize here for a perfect bracket) and let the Madness begin!
