Charlotte Results, Pocono Polls

We'll overlook the People's Pigskin's prediction about Dario Franchitti winning Sunday's Indianapolis 500 (except to wonder what they say about monkeys and typewriters). For now, we have to thank two groups: those who put themselves in harm's way for our country, and those of you who voted on the People's Pitstop lineup for Sunday's Coca-Cola 500 in Charlotte.

The Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team managed to score 300 points this weekend. That leaves us with a season total of 3,385, lifting us to 83,329th place overall in Yahoo Sports and lifting us 20 spots in the Fans of From the Marbles league to 102nd place. Here are the detailed results.

Tony Stewart. Started 26th, finished 15th, 1 lap led and 72 fantasy points. Maybe Smoke was distracted by concerns about what will happen to his monkey.

Kevin Harvick. Started 23rd, finished 11th, no laps led and 70 fantasy points. Yes, Happy Harvick retained his lead in the NASCAR Sprint Cup points race, but fans of the People's Pitstop should know that he is eligible to start for us only twice for the rest of the season.

Ryan Newman. Started 1st, finished 9th, 11 laps led and 94 fantasy points. That includes 10 points for starting on the pole and another 10 points for leading at least one lap, making him easily our star of the week.

A.J. Allmendinger. Started 18th, finished 14th, 0 laps led and 64 fantasy points. Notice that all four of our drivers finished within six spots of one another this week. (Good thing they didn't all wreck being so close together.)

This week, NASCAR takes its act from Fox to TNT and from the hub of North Carolina to the triangle of Pocono Raceway. This week's polls are up. The poll about Sunday plans appears below. Please vote.
