Baseball and NASCAR are on the fantasy sports slate this weekend, following a midweek Baseball PowerStat Challenge

The AllState 400 at the Brickyard is the focus of this weekend's NASCAR tournament here and there is plenty to watch for as you prepare to make your picks.

Josh Beckett. Joe Saunders. Ben Sheets. Roy Halladay. Carlos Zambrano. Justin Duchscherer.

Reads like the pitcher lineup from Tuesday All-Star Game but it also represents the roster of events Saturday for our first slimmed-down Baseball PowerStat Challenge.

Here is some feedback we received on MLB PowerStat Challenge.

"Guys, the PSC is great and I have been doing well playing them, but how about cutting down the number of games to make it faster to play? More contests, fewer games per contest."

There were five shutouts chucked Tuesday night.

Fantasy baseball players here probably popped on the scores tracker and saw that the Tigers and Mariners played 15 innings and started imagining all the homers and hits and runs.

Is A-Rod boinking Madonna? Judging from his last media blowout (when it was revealed he liked meaty strippers with attitude), the Material Girl could materially fit his profile.

A seven-run ninth inning did the trick for the Padres against the Rockies Monday night and proved yet again that a game ain't over til it's over. Nor is a Baseball PowerStat Challenge.

Bobby Abreu and Derek Jeter punished Pittsburgh pitching Wednesday and made big winners of PowerStat players who pegged the Yankees for hits, homers and strikeouts.

Congrats to Pigeon on winning the weekend NHL PropMaster Challenge, a 20-answer Q&A contest on the NHL entry draft's first round. He earned 68 points to win the Draftmaster game.
