Jimmie Johnson |
Whoa. It was a good thing he won that race. If not, an entire Lowe’s franchise might have come flying out of the stands. |

Dale Earnhardt Jr. |
We’re not sure why he said those things about Michael Waltrip. Maybe he wanted to stop being asked to star in all those Napa commercials. |

Bobby Labonte |
His crew repaired an oil line in about five minutes. In our hometown, it took three weeks, and you’d still have to carry a case of motor oil in your trunk until you got rid of the car. |

Jeff Gordon |
He apologized to the fans at Pocono after the race. And that was just for his performance on Regis and Kelly. |

 |
Jeremy Mayfield |
On NASCAR Drivers 360, his dogs are always asleep. Which means he never gives them any of that Mountain Dew he’s got stockpiled. |

Tony Stewart |
This is the latest point in the year (excluding his rookie year) where he has not won yet. |

Matt Kenseth |
They might have to call it the Gillette Fined Guns. |

 |
Jamie McMurray |
His segments have not debuted on NASCAR Drivers 360 yet. Does it take that long to get his hair done? |

 |
Mark Martin |
His last three races: 36th. 1st. 36th. Which means he will win at Michigan and barely beat Jim Inglebright at Sonoma. |

Ryan Newman |
Man, his year is just getting worse. Now, with Kasey Kahne winning the Bud Pole at Pocono, he does not lead the series in poles anymore. Of course, he’ll win it on Friday. |

Kasey Kahne |
His hair is starting to get downright shaggy. But it’s easily fixable. He doesn’t even need to leave the shop. He can just go to Jeremy Mayfield for help. |

 |
Robby Gordon |
He’s pretty good at Michigan too, so he’s got a really good shot to score three straight top-10 finishes heading into Daytona. |

 |
Kurt Busch |
That was his first top-five since winning at Bristol. And just his fourth since the Jimmy Spencer incident. |

 |
Michael Waltrip |
“I am just amazed that somebody could do something that stupid," Waltrip said at Pocono. Wasn’t sure whether he was taking about the crash, or whether he might get fired despite two Daytona 500 wins. |

 |
Kevin Harvick |
Or they might have to call it the Gillette Young Guns on Probation until Dec. 31. |

 |
Elliott Sadler |
He’s never had a top-10 finish at Michigan. And since we pointed that out, he’s sure to break that streak this weekend. |

 |
Terry Labonte |
Terry, if you have not felt young in awhile, we are pretty sure you felt like it when you were passing Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Pocono. For shizzle. |

Casey Mears |
Much to our great disappointment, he really didn’t do anything NASCAR Drivers 360 that warranted any ridicule. |
| 19 |

 |
Brian Vickers |
He’s 19th in points, putting him dangerously on the line where he is flirting with his age in points. As is Kirk Shelmerdine. |

 |
Dale Jarrett |
There is light at the end of the Tunnel Turn. Unfortunately, it was his engine on fire. |
| 21 |

 |
Rusty Wallace |
Man, Michael Waltrip was pretty mad at him. But let’s face.it. Rusty’s brake failure saved them both from dozens of agonizing caution laps. |
| 22 |

 |
Greg Biffle |
Well, at least he can offer advice to his teammate about how to deal with a run-in with Kevin Harvick. |
| 23 |

 |
Jeff Burton |
His qualifying stats have declined each year since 1998, and his 27th-place starting spot this year is easily his worst since he joined Roush full-time eight years ago. |
| 24 |
23 |
 |
Ward Burton |
He’s got five straight finishes of 20th or better, which has moved him up three spots in the standings to 21st. Which means he would win the title if there were 35 races left in the 2004 season. |

Scott Riggs |
The reverse Track Smack jinx lives. Every driver we have on Track Smack does better on the track after his appearance, and Riggs is no exception. Pre Track Smack average finish: 29th. Post Track Smack average finish: 12th. |
