Tony Stewart |
We finally found something that creeps us out more than Greg Biffle's Subway commercial. It's the fact Tony Stewart has a hearse. Of course, if he had driven the hearse at Watkins Glen, he still would have won. |

Rusty Wallace |
We don't want to take his quote out of context, because this is not what Rusty meant when he said this, but it's still funny: "When he [Tony Stewart] crossed the finish line, I knew he'd won." |

Mark Martin |
A fan sent us this: Has anyone else noticed that if Kurt Busch (97) is going to take over Rusty's car (2) then 9-7 = 2 and the same with Jamie Mac (42) and Mark Martin (6), 4+2 = 6? |

Brian Vickers |
He had a run-in with Tony Stewart after the Busch race, which means Vickers will have to avoid Dairy Queens for awhile. |

Jeremy Mayfield |
We love to rag Jeremy about being an Olive Garden addict. So on Saturday we go there and a worker there goes, "Yeah man, I saw a driver here last night. Nice guy. Buzzcut turning gray. James or Jeremy or something. Ate the biggest plate of lasagna I ever saw." |

Kurt Busch |
A good way for these owners to start getting back at these drivers that want to break their contract is simple. Start cutting perks. Start arranging for Kia rental cars and make sure Gatorade isn't available during the pit stops. And the special race-day limo for his little dog? Gone. |

Jimmie Johnson |
If Tony Stewart's history is any indication, Jimmie won't be physically able to hawk 31-inch jeans when he gets closer to his 35th birthday. |

Matt Kenseth |
He's not that great at the road courses. Since they don't use the robot commercial anymore, can't they use one of the old robots to stand in for Kenseth during the race weekend and just hire someone like Ron Fellows to actually drive the car? What do they have to lose? |

Ryan Newman |
Penske's team doctor in 2007 is obviously going to have to be an ear and neck specialist. |

Carl Edwards |
Carl would have been a much better Luke Duke than Johnny Knoxville in Dukes of Hazzard, but Carl was too busy running both series. I wanted Tom Wopat to be in the new Dukes of Hazzard, but he probably couldn't get a leave of absence from Best Buy. |

Kasey Kahne |
Letter we got a few days ago: "Why do you think all of Kasey's fans are teen-age girls? I would like you to know I turned 22 this week." Signed, Whitney |

Greg Biffle |
Roush Racing has a confusing method of rotating sponsors for their cars. Subway was on Biffle's car this week because it's the finest dining in the Watkins Glen area. |

Dale Earnhardt Jr. |
The greatest thing happened this weekend. Two Dale Jr. fans got married in Victory Lane before the race. The bride was in her wedding dress on a golf cart. The wedding party had matching red Dale Jr. attire. The ring-bearer -- who wasn't Kyle Busch -- had a pillow with an "8" on it. Disposable cameras recorded the action. The whole thing cost a whopping $8, which delighted the wedding party. |

Kyle Busch |
He is a putting a lot of pressure on Kurt to postpone the wedding a couple of years. He is afraid he will look silly toasting the groom with ginger ale. |

Jamie McMurray |
The whole Ganassi thing is getting ugly. Makes me think of that scene in Naked Gun when Frank confronts Ludwig. "I'm playing hardball, Chip. It's fourth-and-15 and you are looking at a full-court press." |

 |
Joe Nemechek |
You can almost imagine the conversations Mark Martin was having with his spotter. Martin: Man, why did Nemechek about wreck trying to pass me? Is he trying to get back up there to get the Lucky Dog?" |

 |
Elliott Sadler |
We hear he is making an appearance in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., this week. That is our second-favorite Tennessee town name. Our first is Red Boiling Springs. |

 |
Dale Jarrett |
He got a little bit of help from Dale Jr. on that wreck at The Glen. It's a good thing Junior doesn't have to rely on Jarrett's plane to get home anymore. |

 |
Jeff Gordon |
Anyone else notice the gray creeping through on Jeff's sideburns? Maybe he should smooze for the Just For Men sponsorship on Michael Waltrip's car ... |

 |
Bobby Labonte |
He has nine DNFs. Nine. That is two more than Robby Gordon. |
| 21 |

 |
Kevin Harvick |
He wants RCR to improve before he signs a contract extension. We're going to wake up Thursday and read that Harvick is headed to Morgan-McClure starting in 2021. |

Sterling Marlin |
Sterling, go out and lead some laps this weekend. We're openly rooting for you. |

 |
Ricky Rudd |
His luck in 2005 is the worst in the series. It's not even an argument. Unless it's with a Bobby Labonte fan. |

 |
Casey Mears |
We are still very surprised Casey hasn't won this year, and Michigan and Fontana are his best shots at getting it done. |

 |
Michael Waltrip |
If Kasey Kahne doesn't stop wrecking him, Mikey eventually will cease his use of the Avon products Kahne endorses. |
