    At the end of the season, Jimmie may look back at this as the race that wrecked his championship hopes or as the comeback that kept him in the championship hunt.

    Casey has been trying all year to get Bill Elliott's autograph, but maybe he should have waited until after the race was over.

    A win would have been great, but Kyle was more than pleased to be running at the end at a place where he's had little success.

    Just because Goodyear makes a run-flat radial tire doesn't mean Kevin has to be the only one testing it each week.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    There is no truth to the rumor that Junior has hired Lauren Wallace to take care of Jeff Gordon -- "If he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall!"

    Martin was so pleased that he didn't blow up or get wrecked that he forgot to check the fuel gauge.

    The good news? J.J. finished 13th despite going to a backup car. The bad news? He had World Series tickets for the Diamondbacks.

    When his spotter said, "It's your race to lose" following that great restart, Ryan shouldn't have taken it so literally.
