    The way Jeff stepped into that fracas between Kevin Harvick and Juan Montoya, you have to wonder if he's got a future in politics -- or as a boxing referee.

    Carl tried to pull the dirt-track slide job on Tony Stewart on the last lap, except there's no cushion in the gravel trap.

  • Ryan Newman

    Quote of the week: "You got a car sideways in the middle of the racetrack, there's not a yellow but if you get a piece of debris, then there is a yellow. I guess a car isn't classified as a piece of debris anymore."

    His 10th at Watkins Glen was his fourth top-10 finish in the last 10 races, but it looks to be too little, too late for Biff this seaosn.

    Everybody was Kung Fu fighting: Did Juan go after Kevin Harvick on the track hoping that meant he wouldn't have to face the wrath of Delana in the garage?
