Texas-Size Results (and Polls)

NASCAR fans (most of them, anyway) would tell you that in this case, the wait for the Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway was worth it. And the Internet's favorite fantasy auto racing team would agree. The People's Pitstop managed to score 307 points in the Samsung 500. That lifted us to a tie for 99,704th overall on Yahoo Sports and a tie for 118th in the Fans of From the Marbles league. Here's how the points break down.

Greg Biffle: Started 3rd, finished 10th, 13 laps led and 85 fantasy points. Biffle's total included 3 bonus points for qualifying 3rd and 10 more bonus points for leading at least one lap. And yes, that's his seventh top 10 finish of the season. Remember that when the next set of predictions come out.

Kevin Harvick: Started 19th, finished 7th, 78 fantasy points. Surprisingly, Harvick was one of the few top 10 drivers who didn't lead a lap this week. (And by the way, he has only four starts left for the People's Pitstop for the rest of the season.)

Jeff Burton: Started 6th, finished 12th, 10 laps led and 78 fantasy points. Burton was actually in the lead when the Big Wreck took out nearly a quarter of the field. Unfortunately, Burton couldn't hold on to that lead.

A.J. Allmendinger: Started 17th, finished 13th, 66 fantasy points. Allmendinger took some damage from the aforementioned wreck, but he stayed on the track to finish right behind Burton.

Now, we move on to Talladega and a whole new set of polls. They can be found underneath our St. Louis Rams draft poll. As always, the lineup polls will close Thursday night, so we can submit a lineup in time for Friday's qualifying session. The Rams poll will close Wednesday night. We'll be back with more thoughts on racing and football. In the meantime, please vote.
