Some weeks, it all just comes together. The People's Pigskin had one of those weeks, and we have you, the Internet, to thank for it.
The Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team racked up 302 points this weekend at Pocono Raceway. It was the second time in nine weeks we cleared the 300-point barrier. Our season total of 5,712 still leaves us in second place in the 9beersfantasysportstavern league, but we have trailed our deficit against Jeff Gordon Dupont 24 to just 53 points.
Here are the juicy details.
Carl Edwards: Started 4th, finished 7th, 2 laps led and 89 fantasy points. Edwards stayed in the top 10 pretty much throughout the race. Guess that's what a new contract will do for you.
Brad Keselowski: Started 13th, finished 1st (as in ... winning!), 19 laps led and 100 fantasy points. Maybe Keselowski should bust up his ankle every week. With his second victory of the season, he went from hanging on the edge of the top 20 to all but wrapping up a wild card spot.
Kasey Kahne: Started 2nd, finished 28th (1 lap behind the leaders) and 41 fantasy points. Any glimmer of hope Kahne's team had left evaporated when he got together with a certain driver. Which one? Here's a hint: He has his own Facebook fan page (sort of).
Paul Menard: Started 7th, finished 10th and 72 fantasy points. Menard showed his Indianapolis victory was no fluke. Unfortunately, he's proven so reliable for you, the Internet, that he has only one start left for us this season. That's why he, like Ryan Newman, now sports the "LAST TIME" next to his name in this week's polls.
Speaking of which, the NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers are taking their act on the road again with a race at Watkins Glen. We have qualifying on Saturday, so these polls will stay up through Friday evening. Please feel free to vote now, and invite everyone you know to do the same. You can be the spark that lifts us back to the top.

Fearless Predictions - Indianapolis
Remember last Monday, when we said that the People's Pitstop's results at Indianapolis Motor Speedway were better than a brick to the head? Well, the predictions for top 10 finishers for that race felt exactly like a brick to the head. We went 0 for 4 last week, lowering our season record to 22-50. Therefore, all NASCAR fans are advised to take this week's forecasts for Pocono Raceway with at least a grain of salt.
One from the front: Our predictions need all the help they can get, so we're going all the way to the front with Joey Logano, whose list of "youngest NASCAR Sprint Cup driver ever to" achievements now includes being the youngest ever to win the Pocono pole. This is the type of track where you can start at the front and stay there, especially if Mother Nature decides to end things early.
One from the back: Again, the pickings are slim in the back 10. We'll go with Landon Cassill, who starts 36th and at least spent some time in the top five last week at Indianapolis. Let's just hope he can keep his car (and Kasey Kahne's) on the track this week.
Two from the middle: Ryan Newman starts 12th in this race and, despite his eighth-place spot in driver points, will need to keep running well to make the Chase. Fortunately, "running well" is something Newman does quite well at Pocono; he has eight top 10 finishes here, including a victory in 2003.
But if you don't want to go that far back in time for a good trend, you can simply look to Jimmie Johnson, who starts in 18th place this week. He had finished in the top 10 the last three times NASCAR has taken its act here. Oh, and for those of you who insist on taking a long-term view, he won both Pocono races back in 2004.
Enjoy the race, everybody. We'll be back with the results.

The People's Choice - Pocono
Now that the Pro Football Hall of Fame has finished its induction ceremonies, we can turn our attention back to the People's Pitstop and its effort to retake the lead in the 9beersfantasysportstavern fantasy NASCAR league. You, the Internet, voted on our lineup, and the drivers who got the most votes used the qualifying session to demonstrate whether they deserved to start for us this Sunday at Pocono Raceway. Here are the drivers who proved both popular and worthy.
A List: It should surprise absolutely no one that Jeff Gordon, who has more wins on this track than any other active Sprint Cup driver, won this poll. Carl Edwards tied for second but got the roster spot by virtue of the points tiebreaker. What was truly surprising was Gordon's performance during the qualifying session. He wound up in 31st place, while Edwards qualified fourth, earning a starting spot for himself and a bonus point for the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team.
B List: The top four vote-getters in this poll were Kasey Kahne, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brad Keselowski and (in a points tiebreaker) Mark Martin. The qualifying session put Keselowski (13th) ahead of Earnhardt (19th) and Martin (25th). But Kahne was the star of our show. He qualified second, behind only record-setting polesitter Joey Logano, and got us 5 bonus points in the process.
C List: It feels as if this poll is going to come down to David Ragan and Paul Menard every week until one of these drivers runs out of starts. This week, Ragan won the poll, but Menard qualified better (7th vs. 15th), so he'll start for the eighth time for the People's Pitstop.
Thanks again to everyone who took the trouble to vote. We'll be back with the weekly predictions.

The Last Time We Were in Pocono
For the second time this season, NASCAR takes its Sprint Cup drivers to the weird triangle that is Pocono Raceway. For those of you who picked that week to go on your summer vacation, here's a brief look at what happened.
The race was a monumental one for Jeff Gordon. His victory tied him with Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Allison for third on NASCAR's all-time list. Kyle Busch probably remembers this race a little less fondly. He finished third, but his car failed inspection afterwards, costing him 6 driver points and a bunch of money.
It also wasn't such a hot day for the People's Pitstop. The Internet's favorite fantasy racing team scored only 228 points that race. That included a grand total of 18 from Carl Edwards, who spent most of his day in the TNT booth because of an early engine problem. Good thing he didn't sign that Roush Fenway extension that weekend. That would have been awkward.
Anyway, now that you know a little history, you can use it to our advantage by voting in the lineup polls, which will close this evening. We'll be back with the results.

Better Than a Brick to the Head
Many people weren't happy that Sunday's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway turned into a contest of MPG instead of MPH, but the way we see it, things could have gone a lot worse.
The People's Pitstop did manage to score 256 points at this weekend's NASCAR race, including the 18 we pocketed for having the three top qualifiers. Our season total of 5,410 is good enough to keep us in second place in the 9beersfantasysportstavern league, though Jeff Gordon Dupont 24's lead has grown to 105 points.
Here are all the gasoline-infused details.
Jimmie Johnson: Started 3rd, finished 19th, 1 lap led and 67 fantasy points. Johnson just hasn't been his usual self this season. Maybe part of him is still freaked out by a certain shower visitor. (Here's a hint: If you're going to talk to Mr. Johnson while he's in the shower, you'd better answer to the name "Mrs. Johnson.")
Joey Logano: Started 20th, finished 25th and 42 fantasy points. The only noise Logano made on Sunday was in his postrace comments (about halfway down this Toyota quote sheet), when he said, "Seems like anyone can win these things these says." Almost anyone, apparently.
Kasey Kahne: Started 2nd, finished 18th, 48 laps led and 81 fantasy points. Kahne pocketed 10 bonus points for leading the most laps. Kahne dominated the first quarter of the race, but a late spinout by Landon Cassill forced him on to the grass, which did enough damage to the front end to ruin his chances.
David Ragan: Started 1st, finished 23rd, 1 lap led and 66 fantasy points. Yes, we started the polesitter and benched the driver who won the whole thing. These things happen in fantasy sports.
But fantasy sports is a week-by-week thing. A win or loss one week doesn't necessarily guarantee results next week. And this week, NASCAR sends its Sprint Cup drivers back to the tricky triangle of Pocono Raceway. We have until Friday night to select the People's Pitstop lineup, and the polls are now open. Please feel free to vote now.

Fearless Predictions - Pocono
(Editor's Note: The following post was written Sunday morning but did not publish because of a Web error. We apologize for the delay.)
Sunday morning is upon us once again, and with it comes the People's Pitstop predictions for NASCAR drivers who will finish in the top 10 today at Pocono Raceway. The forecasts bounced back last week by going 3-1, raising our season record to 13-31.
One from the front: This time, we're going all the way to the front by picking Kurt Busch. He sits on the pole for this race, and he won the Pocono race where the people who bring you this blog learned what this sport is all about.
One from the back: Staying within the family, Kyle Busch has had an interesting few days. After being attacked by a rival owner, he was cast (unfairly) as the villain in the dispute. Now he finds himself starting in 34th place. He probably won't stay there very long.
Two from the middle: What do Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson have in common these days? Plenty. Both are two-time winners on this track. Both finished in the top 10 in both Pocono races last year. And they will start next to each other (Johnson in 14th, Stewart in 15th) in today's race.
Enjoy the festivities from Pennsylvania. We'll be back with results.

That Could Have Gone Better...
Of course, it could have gone worse, too. We could be absorbing a 6-point penalty from a failed post-race inspection.
As it stands, the People's Pitstop managed to score only 228 points at Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. The Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team managed to stay atop the 9beersfantasysportstavern league with a season total of 3,911, but our lead over SteelerFan4Tony is only 82 points.
Here are the gory details.
Carl Edwards: Started 6th, finished 37th (141 laps behind the leaders) and 18 fantasy points. We all know that Edwards has a television career waiting for him whenever he hangs up his firesuit. But we didn't expect him to log some practice time during Sunday's race.
Juan Pablo Montoya: Started 16th, finished 7th, 38 laps led and 88 fantasy points. Montoya was our only starter to lead a lap on Sunday. He was a contender to win his first oval race in a NASCAR vehicle until a couple of two-tire changes late in the race.
Clint Bowyer: Started 12th, finished 16th and 60 fantasy points. The driver who won the midweek Prelude to the Dream could not maintain his momentum on the Pennsylvania triangle. You know your driver had a mediocre day when his team's press release highlights the number of laps he spent in the top 15.
Regan Smith: Started 5th, finished 15th and 62 fantasy points. The bad news: This year's Darlington winner sits 27th in points and will need better results to get into the top 20 and be eligible for a wild card Chase spot. The better news: The Colorado-based racer doesn't need to win races to get warm coverage from his local paper.
The next stop on NASCAR's summer tour is Michigan International Speedway. The qualifying session is scheduled for Saturday, so we'll keep our lineup polls open until Friday night. You should know the drill by now: You vote for 2 drivers from the A List, 4 from the B List and 2 from the C List. Vote now, and get your friends to do the same. Thanks in advance.

The People's Choice - Pocono
This post is a little bit on the late side, but better late than never. Anyway, you, the Internet, selected another week's lineup for the People's Pitstop, and the qualifying session took care of the rest. Here are the drivers who will represent the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team during Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway.
A List: Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick tied for the top spot in this poll, but they certainly were not that close when it came time to qualify for the race. Edwards will start 6th, while Harvick will start 32nd and will watch from our fantasy bench.
B List: There was a surprise winner in this poll: Brad Keselowski. In second place, we had a three-way tie between Clint Bowyer, Juan Pablo Montoya and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Bowyer (12th) and Montoya (16th) earned starting spots over Keselowski (20th) and Earnhardt (21st).
C List: Let me know if this sounds familiar. The vote produced a dead heat between David Ragan and Regan Smith. And in this qualifying faceoff, Smith (5th) had the edge over Ragan (11th).
We'll be back before the race with the fearless predictions.

Coasting Into the Summer Season
In the end, every week can't be like last week.
The People's Pitstop took its foot off the gas pedal this week at Kansas Speedway. We scored only 223 points. However, like Brad Keselowski, the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team managed to hang on to first place with a season total of 3,683. Our lead in the 9beersfantasysportstaven league has narrowed to 112 points.
Here is the detailed scoring breakdown.
Kyle Busch: Started 3rd, finished 12th, 11 laps led and 81 fantasy points. If it weren't for Mr. Pink Car in a Pink Suit, our day would have been much worse. Busch was the only starter to lead a lap, and he was the only one to end the race on the lead lap.
A.J. Allmendinger: Started 26th, finished 27th (1 lap behind the leaders) and 38 fantasy points. Despite a paint job made famous by Richard Petty, Allmendinger didn't look much like the King. And he can't afford many more outings like this; halfway through NASCAR's regular season, Allmendinger sits 16th in driver points, and he get only four more starts for the People's Pitstop.
Mark Martin: Started 18th, finished 21st (1 lap behind the leaders) and 50 fantasy points. Martin has finished outside the top 10 in five of the last six races. Maybe he's the one who needs a new paint job.
Paul Menard: Started 9th, finished 19th (1 lap behind the leaders) and 54 fantasy points. At least his owner didn't humiliate his team by taking a cheap shot at a rival driver...oops, scratch that.
According to Yahoo Sports, the "spring" segment of the NASCAR season is over. The action now moves to the summer segment (and to TNT) with the first of two races at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania, home to Sukanya Roy, this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee champion. We won't ask you to spell words like stromuhr, but we will ask you to pick our lineup. The qualifying session is scheduled for Saturday, so you have until Friday to vote in our polls. Invite a friend to vote, too. The more, the merrier.
We'll be back with a look at how things stand for different drivers.

Reflections on Pocono
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.

Fearless Predictions - Pocono
Before you get too deep into your perusal of wedding photos, it's time to predict which NASCAR drivers will finish in the top 10 in today's Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. Last week's predictions went about as well as Juan Pablo Montoya's afternoon, going 4-6 and leaving us with a season record of 89-101.
1. Denny Hamlin. Hard to pick against the driver who won the last two Sprint Cup races on this track.
2. Tony Stewart. Unless you go with the driver who won the race before that.
3. Jeff Gordon. He's a four-time winner on this track, and he's still second in driver points this season.
4. Kevin Harvick. And Gordon is still staring up at this guy
5. Jimmie Johnson. No mincing words -- his team stunk last week. Expect them all to bounce back this week.
6. Kyle Busch. The way he's tearing up the Nationwide circuit, you'd think he expects to transfer points from one series to another.
7. Jamie McMurray. It would be an understatement to say he's very comfortable on NASCAR's largest oval tracks this year. (Yes, I know Pocono technically isn't an oval. Work with me here.)
8. Mark Martin. At the moment, he's on the outside looking in as far as the Chase is concerned. Sounds like plenty of motivation to keep his car on the track and near the front.
9. Juan Pablo Montoya. If there is such a thing as karma in NASCAR, Montoya has to have it on his side by now.
10. Elliott Sadler. This week's medium to long shot -- and since he's starting 29th, "long" definitely applies here -- acknowledges Sadler's win in Saturday's truck race at Pocono, which makes him the 21st driver to win races in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and truck series.
We'll be back with race results and some new polls.
1. Denny Hamlin. Hard to pick against the driver who won the last two Sprint Cup races on this track.
2. Tony Stewart. Unless you go with the driver who won the race before that.
3. Jeff Gordon. He's a four-time winner on this track, and he's still second in driver points this season.
4. Kevin Harvick. And Gordon is still staring up at this guy
5. Jimmie Johnson. No mincing words -- his team stunk last week. Expect them all to bounce back this week.

The People's Choice - Pocono
As July creeps toward August and football players creep toward training camp (if they're not too out of shape to get in the door), NASCAR returns to Pocono Raceway, and you, the Internet, have given us a team to take there.
After another week of voting, we have two spots set and two up for grabs for Sunday's Sprint Cup race in Pennsyltucky. Here are the results of this week's polls.
A List. Another week, another tie. This time Tony Stewart, aspiring drive-through attendant, takes on his former teammate, Denny Hamlin. The qualifying session will break that tie.
B List. These two spots are set. Kevin Harvick will make his 8th start for the People's Pitstop, while Clint Bowyer will make his 5th. Matt Kenseth and Jeff Burton will watch this one from the bench.
C List. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team will start A.J. Allmendinger or Sam Hornish Jr. (remember him?) for Sunday's race. Once again, whoever qualifies better will start.
We'll update this post when the qualifying session is done. Meanwhile, feel free to cast your vote in our latest fantasy football survey. The lineup poll results appear below.
UPDATED 10 P.M. Hot damn! Tony Stewart more than earned a starting spot for the People's Pitstop by getting the frickin POLE! (He also earned us 10 bonus points for that feat.) Denny Hamlin will watch from the bench but still earns us 3 bonus points for qualifying third.
As for the C List, A.J. Allmendinger (who qualified 7th) will start, while Sam Hornish Jr. (who qualified 15th) will watch from the bench.
We'll be back with another fantasy football review preview.

The People's Facts - Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500
This week the Internet's favorite fantasy racing team takes its act back to Pennsylvania for a NASCAR Sprint Cup race on Sunday. You still have time to vote on our lineup polls. Here's some information to help you guide your decision.
Track basics: Once again, Pocono Raceway is a unique triangle of a track. Those you who weren't paying attention the last time NASCAR came to this track can click here for our preview of that race or click here for Yahoo's handy fantasy NASCAR guide.
Last time we were here: For the June Pocono race, the People's Pitstop started Kyle Busch (who finished 2nd, trailing only Denny Hamlin), Jeff Burton (7th), Clint Bowyer (9th) and Paul Menard (16th). They racked up 336 points, one of our highest totals of the season.
Recent winners: Hamlin (2009 August race), Carl Edwards (2008), Kurt Busch (2007).
Who wins here a lot: Despite his recent winless streak, Jeff Gordon is tied with Hamlin for the most wins by active NASCAR drivers at Pocono (four each). Bobby Labonte, now at the center of another team-switching controversy, trails them with three.
This may get me fined, but... The other latest controversy in France-ville is the revelation of fines for drivers who disparage NASCAR. Who got fined? How much were they fined? What remarks sparked the fines? NASCAR isn't saying.
What effect does the double-secret penalty have? It makes NASCAR look moronic, paranoid or both. Next thing you know, they'll fine reporters for saying the ratings for last week's race fell from a year earlier, or they'll fine columnists for suggesting that NASCAR tweak its schedule to make it less vulnerable to the NFL.
Speaking of the NFL, we'll be back with a fantasy football update.

Pocono Results, Michigan Polls
All that was missing was a victory, and it looks like the People's Pitstop may have to tear up a knee to get one of those.
Anyway, the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team managed to score 336 points during Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. That raises our season total to 3,721, good enough for 60,099th overall on Yahoo Sports and 81st place in the Fans of From the Marbles league. If you consider just the "summer" portion of the fantasy NASCAR season (which began last week in Charlotte), the People's Pitstop finds itself in 12th place in the lead.
We'll try not to faint as we give you the detailed results.
Kyle Busch. Started 1st, finished 2nd, 32 laps led and 108 fantasy points. That total includes 10 bonus points for leading a lap and another 10 for starting at the pole position. Not bad for a guy whose fans want to see him in a pink suit.
Jeff Burton. Started 13th, finished 7th and 78 fantasy points. All that was missing from his afternoon was a chance to lead a lap.
Clint Bowyer. Started 2nd, finished 9th, 59 laps led and 89 fantasy points. His total includes 10 bonus points for leading at least a lap and five more for starting in 2nd place. He's a driver who could make some noise during the Sprint Cup Chase if he qualifies.
Paul Menard. Started 33rd, finished 16th and 60 fantasy points. You know you had a strong fantasy racing day when the weakest link in your chain was a driver who finished in the top 20 and on the lead lap.
(And for you math majors, the team's total score also includes a point from Kurt Busch, who qualified 4th for this race but stayed on the bench.)
Anyway, it's time to turn our collective sights to Michigan and next Sunday's race. The lineup polls are up and will stay up until Thursday night. The results from the weekend poll about Fox's NASCAR coverage appear below. We'll be back shortly with an update on the other fantasy sport we follow here.

Fearless Predictions - Pocono
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for -- well, at least some of you. Here are the predictions for the top 10 finishers for today's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. Last week's predictions went 4-6, leaving us with a season record of 55-65.
1. Kyle Busch. Thanks to the votes of you, the Internet, the People's Pitstop has Kyle in the starting lineup, and Kyle has the pole for the second time this season, earning us 10 bonus points.
2. Kurt Busch. Even though he'll be on the bench, he still gets us a bonus point for starting fourth.
3. Denny Hamlin. He has a strong record on this track, and he has six finishes in the top 10 this season.
4. Clint Bowyer. Oh, by the way, the People's Pitstop also has Bowyer in the starting lineup. And he's on the front row with Kyle Busch, earning the Internet's favorite fantasy racing team five bonus points.
5. Greg Biffle. His eight top 10 finishes has him tied for the lead among Sprint Cup drivers.
6. Matt Kenseth. With his teammate.
7. Kevin Harvick. And with the current points leader.
8. Jeff Gordon. He may actually be Hendrick Motorsports' strongest candidate to win this year's Cup. He has a pair of 2nd-place finishes this season, and he has more wins on this track than any active NASCAR driver.
9. Mark Martin. Five finishes in the top five this season, tied with Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson for the most.
10. Tony Stewart. How does a two-time Cup winner the defending champion of this race get picked as the medium to long shot? By being 16th in points.
We'll be back after the race with results and new polls.

The People's Results - Pocono
Thanks again to you, the Internet, the People's Pitstop is able to field a fantasy team for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway. Here are the results of this week's polls.
A List. This week's starter is Kyle Busch, who has two wins under his belt so far this season. His brother Kurt will sit on the bench.
B List. We better hope that everything is truly OK between Kyle and Jeff Burton, because they're both starting for the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team this week. It would stink if some bad words carried over to the track and caused two of our drivers to take each other out.
The other starting spot for B List drivers goes to Clint Bowyer. The bench spots go to Ryan Newman and Martin Truex Jr., who has yet to start a race for the People's Pitstop. (Read into that anything you want.)
C List. This week we welcome Paul Menard back from the bench and into the starting lineup. A.J. Allmendinger gets the bench spot.
A new poll is up and will stay up through the weekend. The lineup poll results appear below. We'll be back with fearless predictions.

The People's Facts - Gillette Fusion ProGlide 500
There's still a few hours for you, the Internet, to help your favorite fantasy NASCAR team pick its lineup for this Sunday's race. For those of you still trying to make up your minds about which drivers to pick, here's some information about where they will be driving.
Track basics. Pocono Raceway holds many titles, including Closest Track to New York City (for whatever that's worth). It also would win any contest to determine the track with the weirdest format. Most non-road-course tracks aspire to be either a circle or an oval. The 2.5 mile Pocono track is what your geometry teacher would call a scalene triangle. Instead of two pairs of fairly symetrical turns, drivers must prepare for three distinct types of turns. Prepare for only two of them, and something like this can happen.
Recent winners. Tony Stewart (2009), Kasey Kahne (2008), Jeff Gordon (2007).
Who wins here a lot. Stop this blog if you've heard this one before: Gordon leads active NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers with four victories on this track. Denny Hamlin and Bobby Labonte (remember him?) are tied with three wins apiece.
Now, a personal note. Pocono Raceway is one of only two tracks where the people who bring you the People's Pigskin have actually watched a NASCAR Sprint Cup race live, the other one being Las Vegas.
Two of the many things that struck me about the experience of a Pocono weekend: The ARCA race -- which, for reasons that may never be fully understood, was the only race paired with the Sprint Cup race that weekend -- could have put an insomniac to sleep, and the environment around the track that weekend was mind-blowing. For you football fans, it was like a three-day tailgate party with a couple of races thrown in.
Plus, it offered photo opportunities like the one below.

You probably know this by now, but Yahoo Sports offers a fuller fantasy preview of this race. (Click here to download the PDF.) And we're back to our usual poll schedule. The lineup polls will close Thursday night to allow us to submit a lineup in time for Friday's qualifying session. We'll be back with the results and a fresh poll.

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.
