How trading works - in a nutshell

Basically, a trade will be a one-for-one swap.  You'll select a driver you want to drop, and pick a driver from the 2005 price list of equal or lesser value to replace him, but you never lose team value by trading for a driver lower in price on the price list.  That balance may be used in another trade!

[EXAMPLE: If you want to drop Ryan Newman ($80) from your team, you can pick up Kevin Harvick ($33), Johnny Benson ($24), Mark Martin ($74), or any other driver lower on the price list.  The remaining balance, or money saved, may be used in a future trade! 

Multi-driver trading

Not in this league.  You can't drop Rusty Wallace and use his $49 value to pick up two, three or more drivers totaling $46.  And you can't do the reverse - drop multiple drivers from your team and use their combined value to pick up a higher driver. Every driver trade is a one for one swap!

When is the trade deadline before a race?

The trade deadline for each race will be the start of qualifying.  If you want a driver active for the weekend, make sure you submit the trade BEFORE qualifying begins.
