First things first. The Internet's favorite fantasy racing team racked up 302 points during Sunday's Sprint Cup race in Atlanta. That's good enough to continue the People's Pitstop's rise up the charts. We're now tied for 81,663rd overall and tied for 92nd in the Fans of From the Marbles league. Here's your weekly breakdown.
Jimmie Johnson. Started 16th, finished 12th, 68 fantasy points. He didn't finish in the top 10, but he didn't get a bad batch of tires, either.
Kevin Harvick. Started 35th, finished 9th, 74 fantasy points. That's four straight finishes in the top 10 for the happy one.
Matt Kenseth. Started 14th, finished 2nd, 88 fantasy points. And for Kenseth, that's four finished in the top 10 and three in the top five.
Scott Speed. Started 32rd, finished 10th, 72 fantasy points. Yes, Scott Speed finished in the top 10. No, it's not necessarily the end of the world as we know it.
The only bad news for our team: For the first week of the NASCAR season, none of our drivers led a lap.
Speaking of the NASCAR season, it's taking this week off (we'll explore that topic later this week), but it's also leaving racing fans a juicy controversy. What do you do when a ticked-off Carl Edwards decides to get revenge on Brad Keselowski by flipping him and his car into the air? Some think NASCAR should do nothing, since it asked for this when it said it would let drivers settle disputes among themselves. Others say fans' lives may be on the line.
Our latest poll won't ask you what type of punishment NASCAR will (or should) dish out to the drivers in question. Your task is much simpler. Tell us whose fault it was.
We'll be back later with more on racing's off week and football's busy week. In the meantime, here are the results from the TV poll.
