    Denny tried to buy merchandise with his "five valuable Nextel Cup points," but the clerk would only take a debit card.

    Kyle was seen throwing a football during the fog delay, which prompted Falcons coaches to call and ask for his game films.

  • Clint Bowyer

    Clint's car was better than a 17th-place finish would have indicated, but in the "big picture," they lost little ground to Junior or Ryan Newman.

    Brooklyn Dodger?: Kevin doesn't qualify as one of Gillette's Young Guns, but squeezing past a spinning Michael Waltrip was the closest shave of the season.

  • Ryan Newman

    The guys on TV were calling that loose piece of metal a "shark fin." With all the trouble the No. 12 had getting it to stay in place, I think "crappie" is a better name.

    With the way Casey's turned things around this season, that "new guy" might wind up being the fourth-best driver at Hendrick Motorsports.
