    Yeah, so John Menard refused to give you a refund because you lost the receipt, but that's no reason to take it out on his kid.

    New member of the Posse?: After Junior described a laundry list of things he thinks are wrong with the COT, Jeff's response was, "I agree with everything you said."

  • Jimmie Johnson

    Hard to say what was more surprising: That Jimmie had dropped all the way to 30th after 200 laps or that he somehow made it back to 14th at the checkers.

  • Martin Truex Jr.

    Martin said he "could smell a top-5 finish" with 15 laps to go. Funny, but I walked past the No. 1 in the garage after the race and all I could smell was burning motor oil.

    Sign of better things to come: Matt was all smiles despite finishing 35th on Sunday -- the car was that good.

    It was one of those days where it seemed as if the only thing Jeff passed all day was the pace car -- and he still wound up seventh.

    Since National Guard is the sponsor, does that mean Casey and Junior will have a change of command ceremony before Daytona?

    There's a promotion on NASCAR.COM that says "Follow Kurt Busch in the Chase for the Nextel Cup." Ryan took that advice and look what happened.

    Yes, there's a rivalry between the beer companies, but just because Kurt Busch crashes, you don't have to automatically join in.
