I did and I filled out the form and clicked next only to find out that they want $1.95 by Credit Card to pay for Shipping and Handling. It's not really the money, but the principle. Once I learned that I just said forget it. I hope they have a way of knowing that I don't want it now.
Got another offer from Nascar. Same thing, but this time they lowered the price to 95 Cents. Principle still applies though. BUT, I noticed something else that I might have missed the first time. When you pay the fee (for the "Free" poster) you also automatically sign up to be a Nascar Member for special benefits for $9.95 a month.

Just checked it again just now and also saw this in small print at the bottom:

--"NASCAR is not a sponsor of this promotion. This promotion is not affiliated with nor endorsed by any NASCAR driver."--

Have to say that it very much looks like an official Nascar offer, but it is not.

Still wondering if anyone else out there got this offer and now I'm wondering if it's not Nascar, then "who" is behind this offer?

Could even be some kind of scam. I did contact Nascar about, but haven't heard anything back, if I ever do. I get auto-replies in return, but never a personal one as far as I can remember. That said, I do get replies from some of the other official places out there that I contact now and then.

A scam. Look into Jayski's site. Best NASCAR site on the web.

It might not be about the 95 cents. What's the payment method?

Nascar needs to jump onto this.

I'm not one to be fooled, but the site looks very official.

Credit Card.
Could be what they were after, though I don't see how they would have gotten away with anything; maybe if they were overseas.

Penske cars did well.

Danica starts 28th .... I'm surprised she is that high because she was at a major disadvantage in the duals .... she only has one care and couldn't afford to wreck it .... I just learned she's dating Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packer QB) .... the trucks are on the track at Daytona as this is being typed

She almost crashed out in a wreck in the dual. I don't know if it was talent, good luck or a little of both, but she just squeaked by.

I saw that and it was most certainly close .... with this being her final run in NASCAR, I do hope she has a really good race

Great coverage by Fox today.

Two hours of Nascar Raceday and the Pre-Race didn't even start yet.

I like who won, but not real sure about "how" he won.

I just wish the 10 car stayed where he was at and they just could have raced it out.

Pretty good day for Bubba (2nd), Buescher (5th), Menard (6th) and McDowell (9th).

Almirola ended up 11th.
