This week, thanks to a Saturday qualifying session, you have until Friday night to cast your votes for the People's Pitstop lineup for Sunday's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the season's first NASCAR Sprint Cup race on ESPN (although the whole Decision affair has taken a little of the shine off that rose). To help you, the Internet, make your decisions, it's time to tell you about this week's site.
Track basics: If you really need us to introduce you to this track...
Recent winners: Jimmie Johnson (2009), Jimmie Johnson again (2008), Tony Stewart (2007)
Who wins here a lot: For this, we're not going to count wins in an open-wheel car, impressive though that might be. In terms of NASCAR Sprint Cup wins at Indianapolis, Jeff Gordon leads the way with four, followed by Johnson with three and Stewart with two.
Yes, we still cover fantasy football, too. That's why it's always nice when football and NASCAR merge smoothly like traffic at an on ramp. When the folks running this week's race needed a grand marshal, they turned to someone who already holds a special place in the hearts of many readers of this blog: Dallas Clark. Yes, the man who has inspired the eternal question "How the @$#%^ can they count him as a tight end?" will drop the green flag. And many of you will be hoping that's the last thing he drops until mid-February.
As always, our good friends at Yahoo Sports, in addition to doing their best to turn NASCAR into soccer, have compiled this handy fantasy racing guide for this week's race. Feel free to peruse it while you make your decision about our polls. You can also feel free to vote now. Either way, we'll be back.
