It was a good day for the People's Pitstop, but it could have been soooooooo much better.
The Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team racked up 320 points at Sunday's Sprint Cup race in Sonoma. That leaves us with a season total of 4,293, good enough for 52,534th place overall in Yahoo Sports (does anyone make foam fingers for that number?) and moving us up 14 spots to 72nd place in the Fans of From the Marbles league. Here's how we got here:
Tony Stewart. Started 7th, finished 9th, 2 laps led and 84 fantasy points. That score includes 10 bonus points for leading a lap. It does not include bonus points for ticking people off.
Marcos Ambrose. Started 6th, finished 6th, 35 laps led and 90 fantasy points. Again, there's 10 bonus points for leading a lap. And again, we could have had the race winner in our lineup. If only Mr. Ambrose could remember not to shut off the engine before climbing a freakin hill.
Ryan Newman. Started 13th, finished 16th and 60 fantasy points. Somebody has to be in the middle of the pack.
Boris Said. Started 17th, finished 8th, 8 laps led and 86 fantasy points. Again, we get 10 bonus points because Boris led a lap. Unfortunately, Boris will not be building on that momentum. He'll be putting it into a Tupperware bowl and storing it in the freezer until the race at Watkins Glen.
But this week NASCAR isn't going to Watkins Glen. It's going to the northernmost course on the NASCAR schedule: New Hampshire. That means we need a new lineup. The polls are now open. Hopefully, you know the drill by now. Please vote. The results of the road course poll appear below.
