A Brief Review of Last Week

Like the NASCAR Sprint Cup, the Internet's favorite fantasy racing team took last week off. The polls for this week's race at Phoenix are already up, so feel free to vote now. Though this week's race will take place on Saturday night, the People's Pitstop polls will still close Thursday night.

Speaking of the People's Pitstop, our team managed to score only 226 points in our last race in Martinsville. That leaves us with a season total of 1,546, tied for 105,242nd in Yahoo Fantasy Racing and tied for 126th in the Fans of From the Marbles league. Here's the breakdown:

Jimmie Johnson. Started 3rd, finished 9th, 74 fantasy points. Even though Jimmie spent a good portion of the race near the front of the pack, he didn't manage to lead a single lap.

Kevin Harvick. Started 1st, finished 35th (100 laps behind the leaders), 32 fantasy points. And that total includes 10 points for leading 57 laps before being knocked out of the running for good by one of the most important auto parts on a track like this one: the brakes.

Matt Kenseth. Started 2nd, finished 18th, 56 fantasy points. More proof that where you start a NASCAR race may not have any bearing on where you finish it.

Paul Menard. Started 9th, finished 14th, 64 fantasy points. What does it say about your fantasy auto racing team when the C List driver may have been the brightest spot of your week?

No matter. It's time for a new race and new polls. The results of our wing-vs.-spoiler poll appear below. Please vote.
