Football Polls and a Bristol Wrap-Up

The People's Pitstop spent Kyle Busch weekend scoring only 257 points at the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team now has a season total of 6,425, ranking us 49,698th overall on Yahoo Sports and dropping us five spots, to 69th, in the Fans of From the Marbles league. Here are the details.

Tony Stewart: Started 4th, finished 27th (6 laps behind the leaders), 1 lap led and 49 fantasy points. That includes 1 point for qualifying and 10 points for leading that single lap. Good thing he got the lead before Tony Raines found him.

Jamie McMurray: Started 7th, finished 3rd, 11 laps led and 96 fantasy points. Imagine what would have happened if he weren't snakebitten on pit row.

Kasey Kahne: Started 11th, finished 5th and 82 fantasy points. As this race chart shows, Kahne was at his strongest at the end of the race. Maybe he would have led if this race had 600 laps.

A.J. Allmendinger: Started 10th, finished 31st (12 laps behind the leaders) and 30 fantasy points. The title of this video says it all: Double Trouble.

The drivers are taking this week off, so it's time to turn our lonely eyes to fantasy football. The three polls are still open and will stay open until Wednesday night. Remember that you, the Internet, have already decided that Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew should top our draft board, while Drew Brees should be our top quarterback and Andre Johnson should be our top receiver.

Also, there's still time for you to join the People's League and compete against the People's Pigskin this season. Sign up today.
