If it's Friday, that must mean two things: Dave Blaney will struggle to qualify a car that will be parked before the race's first commercial break, and you, the Internet, have chosen the lineup for the People's Pitstop for Sunday's Sprint Cup race.
Here are the drivers in the mix for the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team.
A List. He only had to win five of the season's first 16 races to do it, but Denny Hamlin has earned your confidence. He won this poll in a rout and will get his first starting spot of the fantasy racing season over Jeff Gordon.
B List. To paraphrase the Sundays, here's where the certainty ends. We had a logjam in this poll. Using points as the tiebreaker, we have four drivers competing for two starting spots: Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Clint Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr. This will come down to the qualifying session. The drivers who qualify the best will start.
C List. Another tie here. This time it comes down to Paul Menard and Sam Hornish Jr. Again, we'll use the qualifying session as the tiebreaker, and the People's Pitstop could end up with more juniors than this year's NBA Draft.
We'll update this post after the qualifying session. In the meantime, the new poll about you know who is up and open for voting.
10:25 p.m. UPDATE. The qualifying results are in. In addition to Hamlin, your starters are Clint Bowyer (who starts 9th), Jeff Burton (17th) and Sam Hornish Jr. (8th). And for those of you who don't think "football" involves diving like Greg Louganis, we'll be back with another fantasy football preview.
