Quote of the week:
"I was hoping they'd throw stuff at me so they'd have to call the race for that reason. Anything that was showered down on that race track today would have been fine by me."

Denny's hoping he's saving up all his good fortune for the last 10 races, because he's certainly not using it now. He was muttering to himself on pit road during the rain delay.

NASCAR's "Invisible Man" has 10 top-10 finishes this season, about the same number of times the No. 17 has been spotted on TV.

Wonder if Jimmie's getting "tired" of having problems in three consecutive races?

The rain delay was so long, Tony could have flown to Eldora, taken a couple of laps on the grader and been back in time for the anthem.

Jeff hasn't scored a top-10 finish at Michigan since 2002, so this would be a perfect time to turn things around.

If the last three weeks have been a preview of what happens if Martin takes over as the top dog at DEI, I'd say that team's in good hands.

Carl could clinch the Busch Series championship before NASCAR gets a new series sponsor in place.

Clint definitely expects to improve upon his previous Michigan finishes: 33rd and 39th

I wonder how many beer cans got thrown at the TV set by ex-Junior fans on Wednesday morning?

The last time Kevin had four consecutive finishes outside the top-10? The first four races of 2006.

After the race, Roger Penske got on the phone and fired the National Weather Service.

Mark hasn't been this happy in a race car since gas was under $1 a gallon.

Michigan could be a good place to get Jamie's season back on track. He's finished on the lead lap five times in a row there.

Who knew when Junior filled in for Kyle at Texas that was just a dress rehearsal?

Bobby has more wins at Michigan (three) than any other driver who has made every race this season.

"Sure, I'll give you the No. 25 if you want it, Junior. Let's discuss terms."

When NASCAR called him to discuss his penalty last week, you could definitely hear a pin drop.

Michigan -- where Greg's had five consecutive top-10 finishes -- could be the perfect antidote for whatever's ailing the No. 16 team.

Elliott's three top-10 finishes at Michigan have all come in the last three seasons.

With Junior going to Hendrick, J.J.'s job with Gibbs looks a lot more secure.

David must have feeling better at Pocono. That was his first lead-lap finish since Talladega.

What to know how much NASCAR has changed? David made more money the last two weeks than his dad Ken did in his entire career.

Returns to the Rankings for the first time since Richmond, where he promptly finished 40th. Let's hope for better luck this time around.
