Pocono Results, Michigan Polls

All that was missing was a victory, and it looks like the People's Pitstop may have to tear up a knee to get one of those.

Anyway, the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team managed to score 336 points during Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. That raises our season total to 3,721, good enough for 60,099th overall on Yahoo Sports and 81st place in the Fans of From the Marbles league. If you consider just the "summer" portion of the fantasy NASCAR season (which began last week in Charlotte), the People's Pitstop finds itself in 12th place in the lead.

We'll try not to faint as we give you the detailed results.

Kyle Busch. Started 1st, finished 2nd, 32 laps led and 108 fantasy points. That total includes 10 bonus points for leading a lap and another 10 for starting at the pole position. Not bad for a guy whose fans want to see him in a pink suit.

Jeff Burton. Started 13th, finished 7th and 78 fantasy points. All that was missing from his afternoon was a chance to lead a lap.

Clint Bowyer. Started 2nd, finished 9th, 59 laps led and 89 fantasy points. His total includes 10 bonus points for leading at least a lap and five more for starting in 2nd place. He's a driver who could make some noise during the Sprint Cup Chase if he qualifies.

Paul Menard. Started 33rd, finished 16th and 60 fantasy points. You know you had a strong fantasy racing day when the weakest link in your chain was a driver who finished in the top 20 and on the lead lap.

(And for you math majors, the team's total score also includes a point from Kurt Busch, who qualified 4th for this race but stayed on the bench.)

Anyway, it's time to turn our collective sights to Michigan and next Sunday's race. The lineup polls are up and will stay up until Thursday night. The results from the weekend poll about Fox's NASCAR coverage appear below. We'll be back shortly with an update on the other fantasy sport we follow here.
