The People's Choice - Michigan

Another week of voting has concluded, and you, the Internet, have made your choices for the drivers who will represent the People's Pitstop in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race in Michigan. Here are the poll results.

A List. Ties are pretty common here at this Web site, but having two drivers take all the votes in a poll is not. This week, the voters split their votes evenly between Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon. The qualifying session will serve as the tiebreaker.

B List. Once again, we will have three drivers competing for two starting spots. Jamie McMurray, Kevin Harvick and Kasey Kahne will compete for those spots. (If Harvick gets one, he will represent the People's Pitstop for the final time this season.) The worst qualifier among the three will sit on the bench with Jeff Burton.

C List. It's nothing but ties this week for the World Wide Web's favorite fantasy NASCAR team. This poll came down to either A.J. Allmendinger or Paul Menard. Once again, the top qualifier gets the starting spot.

The poll results can be found below. For you fantasy football fans, the quarterback poll is still open, and we have a new poll. Last week, you, the Internet, decided that Adrian Peterson should top our draft board. Now we are asking you who should sit at No. 2. Please vote now. We'll update this post when qualifying is over.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. Oh, what a qualifying session it was. Tony Stewart finished 4th, earning him a starting spot over Jeff Gordon and earning us a bonus point. Kasey Kahne got us 10 more bonus points for winning his second pole of the season, and Kevin Harvick (8th) edged out Jamie McMurray (19th) for the other B List spot. By the way, Happy Harvick better make this start count; it will be his last of the season for the People's Pitstop.

Even the C Listers ran well today. Paul Menard qualified 10th and earns the starting spot over A.J. Allmendinger.

We'll be back with more football thoughts.
