Everyone knew that the truck bonus would be disappearing next year since we have the new Truck league, therefore the league has come up with a new strategy with making your picks.
First of all, all drivers attempting to make each race will be listed on the form rather than just the top 30 drivers. You will not be switching drivers out of the top 30 into different classes any longer, that just became too confusing. By popular demand, the Buschwackers have their own catagory again.
The drivers that will be attempting the race will be divided into 5 classes. 1st class is the Buschwackers, classes 2-5 will be the rest of the drivers divided by their drivers points.
Next year you will only be able to choose one Buschwacker and 4 drivers from the other classes. However... this is where the new bonus option comes into play. The Buschwacker bonus will be an additional buschwacker that you can choose each week which will be a 6th driver. The trick is, you can only use a driver as a bonus once per year. There may be some weeks later in the year when you have used up all your Buschwackers to act as your bonus driver, so it is up to you to decide how to space them out. There will be a grid on the site where everyone can view the bonus drivers they picked during the season. If you choose a driver that you already used, you will receive 0 points for that driver.
It should be an interesting change and I'm anxious to see how it will work out.

That part can not be overstated, Busch teams, remember this so that you may avoid an unneccesary penalty next year.
