One thing's for sure: The People's Pitstop had a better Sunday at Pocono Raceway than Elliott Sadler did.
The Internet's favorite fantasy racing team racked up 301 points during Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race. The season total is now 5,625, leaving us in 51,237th place overall in Yahoo Sports and lifting us to spots, to 65th place, in the Fans of From the Marbles league.
Here are the details from a race that turned out to be more exciting than some had anticipated.
Tony Stewart: Started 1st, finished 2nd, 2 laps led and 108 fantasy points. The total includes 10 points for starting on the pole and 10 more for leading at least a lap. The only thing Stewart could not do was reel in Greg Biffle at the end of the race.
(By the way, Denny Hamlin, who sat on our bench, got us 3 points for qualifying third, though he only finished 5th.)
Kevin Harvick: Started 14th, started 4th and 84 fantasy points. All that was missing from his day was leading a lap. Somehow, I think the points leader will get over that.
Clint Bowyer: Started 40th, started 15th and 62 fantasy points. Bowyer was the least-discussed participant in the Kurt Busch-Jimmie Johnson get-together. But he was able to keep his car on the track, and he is still in the 12th Chase spot for the moment.
A.J. Allmendinger: Started 7th, finished 24th and 44 fantasy points. The most memorable part of the day for Allmendinger certainly was bumping Sadler in that incident that ended with Sadler's engine on the grass.
One bit of good news for the People's Pitstop: All four starting drivers finished on the lead lap.
Now we hit the road for Watkins Glen. As usual, we have our lineup polls, which will close Friday evening, since there is a Saturday qualifying session.
Also (attention, fantasy football fans!), we have our first fantasy football draft poll of the season. Please vote on all these polls now. The results for the "how many leagues have you joined" poll appear below. We'll be back with another magazine review.
