The Weather's Hot, But ...

... the People's Pitstop is not.

The Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team managed to score only 266 points Sunday at the Sprint Cup race in New Hampshire. That leaves us with a season total of 4,559, putting us in 52,148th overall on Yahoo Sports and dropping us 2 spots to 77th place in the Fans of From the Marbles league.

Here's how so many cast to many votes to get so few points.

Denny Hamlin: Started 20th, finished 14th and 64 fantasy points. The first five-time winner of the Sprint Cup season (but no longer the only one) picked this week to perform like a middle-of-the-pack runner.

Jeff Burton: Started 17th, finished 12th, 89 laps led and 78 fantasy points. Burton was the only People's Pitstop driver to get the 10 bonus points for leading a lap. Unfortunately, he was also the only one to apologize to Kyle Busch after the race.

Clint Bowyer: Started 9th, finished 7th and 78 fantasy points. The good news for Bowyer is that he remains high enough in driver points to still call himself a contender for the Chase.

Sam Hornish Jr.: Started 8th, finished 23rd (1 lap behind the leaders) and 46 fantasy points. Our C List driver puts up another C List performance.

Now it's time for NASCAR to return to where the season started: Daytona Beach. The new lineup polls are up. As usual, they will close Thursday night, because the qualifying session is Friday. Please vote now. The Danica Patrick poll results appear below.
