    The guy is bullet-proof right now. Clint ran like junk for much of the day and still came out of Atlanta with a sixth-place finish.

    If Kyle no longer wishes to talk to his crew, does that mean he's going to resort to giving them one-fingered hand signals from here on out?

    That's OK. Tony only wins championships in three-year intervals, so he's not due until 2008.
