Fontana Results and Vegas Polls

What do the People's Pitstop results and the attendance at Sunday's race at Fontana have in common? Both leave a lot to be desired.

The Internet's favorite fantasy racing team scored 217 points during this week's Sprint Cup race in southern California. This leaves us with a two-week total of 453, good enough to be tied for 178,085th overall in Yahoo Fantasy Auto Racing and tied for 185th in the Fans of From the Marbles League. Here's a breakdown of the results.

Jeff Gordon: Started 28th, finished 20th, 62 fantasy points. Gordon gets 10 bonus points for leading 11 laps during the race.

Kasey Kahne: Started 4th, finished 34th (29 laps behind leaders), 25 fantasy points. Kahne got 1 bonus point for qualifying 4th, but he lost a lot of ground when he tried to turn his car into an all-terrain vehicle.

Matt Kenseth: Started 20th, finished 7th, 78 fantasy points. Any time you get a top 10 finish from a B List driver, it feels like a bonus.

A.J. Allmendinger: Started 29th, finished 25th (1 lap behind the leaders), 42 fantasy points. This C List driver performed like one, though he did gain 4 spots during the race.

(By the way, the People's Pitstop did get 10 bonus points for having the pole sitter, Jamie McMurray, on the bench. And we'll ignore the fact that for the second week in the row one of our bench spots went to the eventual winner.)

Anyway, it's time for you, the Internet, to pick our lineup for next Sunday's race in Las Vegas. The polls are open and will close Thursday night to allow us to set our lineup for Friday's qualifying session. Please vote now. The results for our Sprint Cup championship poll appear below.
