The People's Facts - Price Chopper 400

First of all, a quick note of thanks to those of you who responded to the call for quick votes on which defense the People's Pigskin should pick up for this week's matchup against the t-bay cuervonatersXXL. As you can see at the bottom of this post, you, the Internet, voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Tennessee Titans. The waiver request was made and granted, and the Titans will start for the Internet's favorite fantasy football team.

That's one position down and eight to go. You can vote on the rest of our lineup from now to Sunday morning. You also can vote from now through Thursday evening on the drivers who will start for the People's Pitstop in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race.

Speaking of that race, it's time to offer some information about the site.

Track basics: Kansas Speedway, a 1.5-mile tri-oval constructed in 2001, is one of the newest tracks on the circuit. It is also one of the hottest tracks on the circuit; less than a decade after its first race, it was awarded a second race for 2011. Are you upset that Atlanta Motor Speedway lost its second date? Here's one of the tracks to blame.

Recent winners: Tony Stewart (2009), Jimmie Johnson (2008), Greg Biffle (2007).

Who wins here a lot: In a word, nobody. Stewart and Jeff Gordon share the lead among active NASCAR drivers with ... drum roll, please ... two wins apiece.

Some complex geography: This week's track is located in Kansas City. Only it's not that Kansas City. It's in Kansas City, Kansas, which lies across the Missouri River from Kansas City, Missouri.

Maybe someone from that part of the country can answer this: Do Kansans get an inferiority complex from the fact that the primary city named for their state is located in Missouri? No? Moving on, then.

Here is the Yahoo Sports preview of this week's race. The polls (both football and NASCAR) are open. Take a minute to vote now.
