Jimmie Johnson |
Webster’s Dictionary added a new word this week: Unibrow. I’ll tell you, NASCAR is slowly invading the world. |

Kyle Busch |
With Elliott Sadler’s move to Evernham, Robert Yates Racing will pretty much have to promote 19-year-old Stephen Leicht to the big leagues. And Kyle won’t be the youngest driver anymore. But he will always be the palest. |

Matt Kenseth |
He got spun by Jeff Gordon last week. Then he wrecked with David Stremme. Kenseth then was rear-ended while driving his rental car to Indy. Then he wrecked at the Indy test. So he had four crashes in less than 15 hours. |

Jeff Gordon |
Almost seen on Jayski last week:
GORDON TO CHANGE NAME TO SELL MORE SHIRTS? Hearing Jeff Gordon will legally take his fiancée’s name and change it to Jeff Vanderbosch. UPDATE: Being told new name won’t fit on a T-shirt and idea is being abandoned.

Jeff Burton |
Actual sentence seen on NASCAR.COM on Sunday, obviously a typo: "1:47 p.m. -- TNT reviews the career of four-time New Hampshire winner Jeff Burton. It's been 166 races since he has won, and he'll start second today. His words -- and looking at his past -- show he's now slouch."
Report: Burton now a slouch

Greg Biffle |
The Subway saga continues. Actual convo last week:
Customer: I want everything but peppers. (Subway worker starts piling on banana peppers)
Customer: Everything but peppers, please.
Subway: Oh. Well, these are not peppers. They are banana peppers. |

Media coverage of Busch’s new ears has slowly faded into oblivion. Sad. |

Kevin Harvick |
After Saturday’s Busch race, he now thinks 43 percent of his competitors are either morons, boneheads or idiots. |

Kasey Kahne |
He has got to be wondering why he has to kiss women in commercials that are Jeremy Mayfield’s age. Like, "Dadgum, I have won five times on tour. Give me someone who doesn’t look like a reject from Desperate Housewives." |

Dale Earnhardt Jr. |
MOORESVLLE, N.C. (NASCAR.COM) – Authorities are planning to indict NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. for reckless friend endangerment after he failed to warn both Dale Jarrett and Jeremy Mayfield about the insane amount of commercials that will be required when you’re a teammate of Michael Waltrip, multiple sources told NASCAR.COM on Wednesday. |

Denny Hamlin |
At Pocono this weekend, young rookie David Stremme will attempt to copy Denny Hamlin by completely destroying his car and going on to an improbable victory. |

Carl Edwards |
He hasn't won this year. Neither has Martin or McMurray. Maybe Roush drivers aren't kidding in the Ameriquest commercial when they say they are letting other people win for once. |

Ryan Newman |
He had the quote of the week: "We just got hit from behind by [Michael Waltrip]. He’s usually like that here. We didn’t get wrecked hard enough to get out and throw a helmet at him." |

Tenth place at Loudon. For shizzle, Scott Rizzle. |

Tony Stewart |
What in the world was he talking about during his post-wreck interview on Sunday? Matt Yocum should have provided Tony with a chair, an ottoman and a cigar if he had known his remarks would have been that extensive. |

Jamie McMurray |
There are two ways to get Benny Parsons to stop saying "MacMary." Either he says the name right, or McMurray runs poorly, preventing Parsons from mentioning him. So far, McMurray has done the latter. |

Brian Vickers |
Casey Mears’ move to Hendrick next season will place a lot of pressure on him to at least threaten to win at Pocono twice a year. |

Reed Sorenson |
I know it was minor, but on Sunday, TNT goes, "Reed is trying for his first career top-five." Which was wrong. Just saying. Maybe they meant David Stremme. |

J.J. Yeley |
With a 10th-place and a 12th-place in the last two weeks, he has now built a 148-point lead in the rookie standings on Brent Sherman. This is pretty much insurmountable ground for Sherman. |

Casey Mears |
It appears Juan Pablo Montoya won’t be able to run in NASCAR right away, which bought Ganassi’s fabricators an inordinate amount of time. |

AOL instant message convo I intercepted on Monday:

BowyerRCRdriver: LOL
Harvick1975: I am serious. Get 'er done.
BowyerRCRdriver: LMAO
