    Forget Speed Racer. Jeff's 2007 season is more like Optimus Prime, all the way down to the red flames on the blue paint job.

    Jeff on Watkins Glen: "The best way to avoid issues at a road course is to run in the front." He had to have said that before witnessing the last few laps at Montreal.

    With his success there, Denny wishes every weekend could be like Pocono. But for the rest of us, thankfully they're not.

    Congrats, but you were so dominant, the most exciting thing about the race was Chris Tucker, who still hasn't caught his breath.

  • Jimmie Johnson

    In a 36-race season, you hate to point at any single race as a turning point, but Jimmie's fifth-place finish at Pocono may be one of those moments.

    If Junior goes on to make the Chase, the Magic Shock may get its own endorsement deal with Budweiser.
