Jeff Gordon |
We are not sure what was funnier -- Jeff Gordon on Good Morning America, or Robby Gordon sitting in his sink at home on NASCAR Drivers 360. |

Greg Biffle |
The new Subway commercial is funny. But dang, man, why is the sandwich in your lap? |

Elliott Sadler |
He came thisclose to winning $1.1 million on Saturday night, which would have doubled Hermie’s earnings for the whole year. |

Tony Stewart |
His SportsCentury profile on ESPN was really good. But man, he’s only 34, aren’t they rushing things? Who’s next? Travis Kvapil? Matt Martin? |

 |
Mark Martin |
He said he might announce a deal for 2006 that would "blow fans’ minds." Which means his Truck Series crew chief next year will be Matt Martin, who will also drive the team’s hauler. |

 |
Kasey Kahne |
He still lives in a modest two-bedroom apartment. Which is all Ford Racing would get if they win the lawsuit against him. |

 |
Jimmie Johnson |
He hurried home after his wreck at Richmond and actually made it home before the end of the race. Which means his wife hasn’t allowed that TiVo purchase yet. |

Kurt Busch |
Kurt, we know you've tried to be a good champion, but maybe that is why things boiled over at Darlington. It's OK to get mad once a while. Just follow Kevin Harvick's lead. If you going to feud with someone, feud with another driver. |

Jamie McMurray |
Rusty's gonna make a very cool father-in-law. Free beer and golf balls. |

 |
Ryan Newman |
At first, everyone wondered why Newman would jump into the crowd before the All-Star race and risk injury. Then they realized it was OK; he doesn't have a neck to break. |

Carl Edwards |
Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard was in Carl’s pit this weekend. After witnessing Chris Myers’ public fawning over Pam Anderson, Beard was thankful she didn't get breast augmentation. |

 |
Kyle Busch |
He nearly got into a scuffle with Jamie McMurray's hair at Richmond. And he would have lost after getting gel on his hands. |

 |
Kevin Harvick |
Just for kicks, we entered in some profiles on eHarmony.com, and it claimed that Kevin and Joe Nemechek were a match made in heaven. |

Jeremy Mayfield |
Report: Jeremy Mayfield-style buzzcut all the rage in garage after back-to-back victories by Kahne, Martin. |

Dale Earnhardt Jr. |
He has led just five laps all year. Or one lap for each of Dale Jarrett's crew chiefs since 2003. |

Jeff Burton |
"Hi, I am Jeff Burton, driver of the No. 31 Cingular Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, and no, I have no idea when my brother will be back in a racecar." |

 |
Rusty Wallace |
He was glad his shares of Penske Racing were sold before both cars got wadded up on Saturday night. Which also means Newman needs to make sure he qualifies behind Rusty at Bristol. |

 |
Michael Waltrip |
He has been replaced on Trackside by Rusty Wallace, which will make the show seem a lot shorter, mainly because Mikey won't be making any sponsor mentions. |

 |
Dale Jarrett |
He won a segment of last week's FOX's Sexiest Driver Contest. Which means all his former crew chiefs voted for him. |

 |
Brian Vickers |
You can almost hear Vickers’ spotter and crew chief during the Nextel Open: Spotter: "Spin him out! He won the voting anyway!" Crew chief: "Cool, we won. But driver, watch out, because Bliss didn't actually get voted in." |

Bobby Labonte |
Oh man. Did you see his purple car at Richmond? If this had been the 1970s, we would have been adjusting the tint on the TV for 10 minutes. |

 |
Ricky Rudd |
He said before the season started that he'd retire if he had a bad year, but he's starting to turn his season around. Slowly, but it's happening. Man, go for 1,000 starts. |
| 23 |

 |
Sterling Marlin |
If he is going to lose out on the Nextel Open voting, it would have been nice to see someone voted in who wasn't born when Marlin's career started. |

Matt Kenseth |
He needs some WD40. All robots need it. |

Ken Schrader |
CONCORD, N.C. -– Ken Schrader, after learning he was in the Power Rankings for the second consecutive week, has signed a 10-year contract extension with BAM Racing, which will put him in the No. 49 Dodge until his 80th birthday, sources confirmed Tuesday. |
