This post got caught in the Memorial Day weekend traffic, but better late than never.
This week was a short one for voting, but you, the Internet, came through with your picks for the People's Pitstop. Thanks to you, the Web's favorite fantasy NASCAR team is a little like Casey Kasem: All our starters are in the top 10.
A List: The people must have been impressed with the way Carl Edwards performed last Saturday. (Well, for the most part, anyway.) He won this poll handily over runner-up Jimmie Johnson. He also won a starting spot by qualifying 3rd, three spots ahead of Johnson. As a result, we get an extra 3 bonus points.
B List: This race was considerably tighter. Ryan Newman squeaked out a victory over Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and A.J. Allmendinger, who tied for second place. However, the man with nine poles at Charlotte Motor Speedway could not outqualify Allmendinger (2nd) and Bowyer (10th), both of whom earned starting spots over Newman (12th) and Earnhardt (25th; he should stick to fan votes). In fact, Allmendinger got us 5 bonus points for getting on the front row.
C List: Two of the usual suspects rose to the top of this poll. David Ragan beat Paul Menard in terms of both votes and qualifying (8th vs. 16th).
We'll be back sometime before the race with predictions.
