The Vegas Payoff (and Atlanta Polls)

Now, that's more like it, NASCAR fans.

You, the Internet, picked some winners this week for the People's Pitstop lineup for the Las Vegas race. The Internet's favorite fantasy racing team scored 342 points on Sunday. That leaves us with a season total of 795, good enough to be tied for 110,321st overall and tied for 127th in the Fans of From the Marbles league. We leaped 72 spots in this week's standings. Here's how we did it.

Jimmy Johnson: Started 20th, finished first, 18 laps led and 100 fantasy points. Yes, Virginia, the People's Pitstop finally had a winner in its starting lineup, even if Fox Sports didn't see it coming.

Kevin Harvick: Started 34th, finished second, 2 laps led and 98 fantasy points. Maybe Harvick should discuss horseshoes more often. He got 10 bonus points for leading a lap, and he currently sits on top of the Sprint Cup points list.

Clint Bowyer. Started 13th, finished eighth, 3 laps led and 86 fantasy points. Another top 10 driver, and another 10 bonus points for leading a lap.

Scott Speed. Started 23rd, finished 22nd (1 lap behind the leaders), 4 laps led and 58 fantasy points. Speed was the only People's Pitstop driver to finish outside the top 10, but by staying away from pit row during a caution, he got 10 bonus points for leading a lap.

Now that Vegas is in everyone's rear view mirror, it's time to turn our attention to Sunday's race in Atlanta. You know the drill by now. The new polls are up and will stay up until Thursday night, so we can submit a lineup in time for Friday's qualifying session. Also, since the weather wreaked havoc with a lot of folks last week (including the folks who bring you this fine fantasy Web site), the TV poll will stay up for the time being, too. Feel free to vote now.
