Rank Prev Number Driver Comments
 1  1 Carl Edwards Carl Edwards Kurt should have called Carl. He would have smoothed out things.
 2  2 Tony Stewart Tony Stewart Report: Stewart announces plan to shave before banquet
 3  6 Greg Biffle Greg Biffle See, getting taken to a holding facility never happens when Biffle gets pulled over. He should have informed Busch that the way to get off with a warning is to have a Subway sandwich sitting in your lap.
 4  4 Jimmie Johnson Jimmie Johnson If he going to win the title, he is going to have to leave it all on the field. The brows, too.
 5 10 Jeff Gordon Jeff Gordon We might see this boy at the banquet yet -- to accept his check for 11th place. Now that is going to be weird. But when we see Jeffy get on stage, it's going to be exciting, because we know Kurt is coming up next.
 6  5 Matt Kenseth Matt Kenseth This might be the only time in his career that he's like Ryan Newman – meaning, he has more poles than wins.
 7 12 Denny Hamlin Denny Hamlin SportsCentury: Denny Hamlin
 8  3 Mark Martin Mark Martin I feel kind of bad that Ricky Rudd won't have a retirement tour. I think Mark Martin should do Rudd's for him. Salute to Rudd (Too) Tour.
 9 12 Ryan Newman Ryan Newman Ryan should show up at Kurt's court date in a show of solidarity.
10 16 Elliott Sadler Elliott Sadler Report: Deer seen fleeing Virginia in advance of Nextel Cup offseason
11 14 Jamie McMurray Jamie McMurray The series ends at Arizona, then Miami. Or, as McMurray says, a way to get tan without a tanning bed.
12 22 Kyle Busch Kyle Busch You can bet Kurt was watching the race on TV. I can only imagine that he was yelling. "No, Kyle! Don't do it! Don't pass Biffle! They will ask you about me in Victory Lane!"
13  9 Ricky Rudd Ricky Rudd His retirement announcement was awful sudden. I am scared he saw one of those commercials that claim you can improve your life by raising alpacas.
14 13 Jeff Burton Jeff Burton He's got one more chance to break that tie with Ward for most wins in 2005.
15 18 Dale Jarrett Dale Jarrett Jarrett found Jason Leffler a lot easier to beat head-to-head.
16 20 Bobby Labonte Bobby Labonte Report: Labonte to have really skinny teammate in 2006
17  7 Kurt Busch Kurt Busch The machine used to test him failed. The machine was an old, decrepit has-been. Then the machine punched him in the face and got sent down to the Truck Series.
18 17 Casey Mears Casey Mears You've been anointed with the Texaco car. This is not a small job. Especially when the series hits Talladega. Drive it proudly, like Jamie did.
19 19 Kevin Harvick Kevin Harvick I didn’t see his car on TV once on Sunday. Neither did Kurt Busch.
20 15 Dale Earnhardt Jr. Dale Earnhardt Jr. May-Ling: The E! True Hollywood Story
21 NR Travis Kvapil Travis Kvapil One more top-10, and he will eclipse his vowel output.
22 21 Joe Nemechek Joe Nemechek Report: Nemechek's opinion on Kurt Busch going undocumented
23 25 Jeremy Mayfield Jeremy Mayfield Report: Mayfield already bragging about beating Kurt Busch in the points
24  8 Brian Vickers Brian Vickers Dang! No Jeff Green or Brian Vickers quotes/interviews about their little tiff!
25 NR Dave Blaney Dave Blaney I don’t know about you, but I am going to responsibly enjoy Blaney's final ride for RCR. I just have to remember to pace myself.
