  • Kurt Busch

    When somebody complained about the heat at Fontana, Kurt just laughed. In Las Vegas, 106 degrees is a nice spring day.

  • Tony Stewart

    Tony's excited about "moving forward" with Toyota in 2008, as long as nobody gets the bright idea of putting spinners on the wheels.

  • Carl Edwards

    If Carl had made that many passes on Interstate 10 Sunday night, we'd be seeing the video on "World's Wildest Police Chases."

    See me after school: Jimmie's return to Granite Hills High was going great until he got the bill for an overdue library book.

  • Matt Kenseth

    Just another typical Sunday drive for Matt - start 36th, finish seventh. If he wins the championship on consistency, don't say you weren't warned.

  • Jeff Gordon

    "None of these races really mean a whole lot. And so we'd like to be running better and be out there getting bonus points but this team is going to come with a whole different focus and attitude when we get to New Hampshire." Momentum isn't like a light switch, but at the same time, if there's a guy saving his best for last, it's Jeff.

  • Denny Hamlin

    Denny hopes to stay with Gibbs "until I retire." I know socking away money for retirement is a great idea when you're 26, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

    Welcome to the Chase, Mr. Truex. I hope you'll become a regular around these parts.

  • Jeff Burton

    There's a run on TV sets in South Boston this week. People are going to need two: One to see the race from Richmond, the other to watch the Hokies play LSU.

  • Clint Bowyer

    What are the odds?: One of the only times Clint goes without Jack Daniel's on the hood this season -- and he winds up getting hammered by Jim Beam.

    The best things in life are worth struggling for, Kevin. And the last five weeks have definitely proved that.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    He probably won't make the Chase, but you've got to tip your cap to Driver 8. If he keeps that effort up, he'll win a race before the season's out.

    What else can go wrong for these guys? This season has been a horror show that just keeps repeating itself, week after week.

    You can tell things are different at Petty Enterprises when Bobby's disappointed in an 11th-place finish.

    Strange fact: Ryan led at least one lap in each of the three races he was sidelined by engine failure this season.

    For Casey, stepping up to the No. 5 in 2008 is literally like finding the prize at the bottom of the cereal box.

    How long has Mark been having fun at this? He won the pole in his first visit to Richmond in 1981, back when the track was still a fairgrounds half-mile.

    Is there any coincidence that David's last four top-20 finishes have come at Daytona, Indy, Michigan and California?

  • Reed Sorenson

    Reed's quote after the race: "We were just all over the place." Sounds like the No. 41 bunch was trying to hit a moving Target.
