There's still time for you, the Internet, to cast your vote on which drivers will be part of the People's Pigskin lineup in this week's episode of Who Wants to Win the From the Marbles Fantasy Racing League. Please remember that you're picking 2 drivers from the A List poll, 4 from the B List poll and 2 from the C List poll.
In the meantime, it's time to offer some basic information about this Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Race: the Auto Club 500.
Track basics: Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, is a 2-mile oval, so it's slightly slower than Daytona. Jeff Gordon holds the record with an average speed of 155 miles per hour in 1997, the year the track was finished. However, since this speedway is also much younger than Daytona, it's had less time to develop potholes.
Recent winners: Matt Kenseth (2009), Carl Edwards (2008), Matt Kenseth (2007).
Who wins a lot here: According to this Yahoo race preview (PDF), among active drivers, Jeff Gordon leads the way with 4 wins at Fontana. Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth are right behind him with 3 victories apiece.
Have you driven to Victory Lane lately? The last 5 versions of this race were won by Ford drivers, including Kenseth, who has won 3 of the last 4.
We'll be back Thursday night with the poll results.
