  • Matt Kenseth

    If Matt "ran terrible" and finished fifth, you hate to imagine what'll happen when the No. 17 team figures out the COT.

    Quote of the week: "[Kurt Busch] raced us every lap like it pays a million dollars." When these two guys crashed running for the lead earlier this year, the winner took home $1,510,469.

    Carl has led a lap in three consecutive races, which has hauler driver Tom Giacchi shopping for shaving creme.

    With four fresh tires, there's no telling how good Clint could have been at the end.

  • Martin Truex Jr.

    If somebody in the office had yelled "Junior's in Victory Lane" on Monday afternoon, your first instincts would have been wrong.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    Those weren't really flat tires. Junior just wanted to swing by the pits because the guys were watching "Days of Our Lives."

    When Ryan says he was smiling after his run at Dover, the rest of the field better start worrying.

  • Greg Biffle

    Thirteen races and Greg's led only three laps all season. But that sixth-place finish at Dover could be signs that things are turning around for the No. 16 team.
