Carl Edwards
Carl's view of the championship would be a lot clearer if he could just get rid of that unwanted Shrub.

Jeff Burton
Jeff's season has been so workman-like, you can almost imagine him coming to the garage with a hard hat, steel-toed boots and a lunch pail.

Jeff Gordon
With four consecutive top-10 finishes despite not having anything close to a dominant car, does anybody else think it's only a matter of time before Jeff and Steve Letarte hit the correct setup?

Greg Biffle
Greg's recent frustrations remind me of Roseanne Rosannadanna' famous line: "It just goes to show you. It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another."

Jimmie Johnson
Jimmie should put on a good show at Eldora, but he'd be the odds-on favorite if Tony Stewart had gone along with his suggestion to add jumps and whoop-de-dos along the backstretch.

David Ragan
David's scored more points in his last three races than all but six other drivers. And that includes guys like Dale Junior, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart.

Denny Hamlin
Report: Some Garmin GPS systems don't work in 2008 Toyota Camrys. Maybe that's why he didn't get the accident avoidance alert in time.

Clint Bowyer
Over the next three weeks, Clint will compete in eight events at eight different race tracks in eight states in four different types of cars -- and fans won't throw stuff at him.

Martin Truex Jr.
A new good luck charm: "I wore my underwear inside out today because my Mom suggested I try it." For Pocono, perhaps she'll sew his name in them.

Kasey's car never was right once it got its nose out of joint.

Tony Stewart
Tony took "100 percent responsibility" for Sunday's accident with Elliott Sadler, but refuses to take full blame for the high price of crude oil, Hillary Clinton's failure to win the Democratic nomination and the broken toilet on the space station.

Kevin Harvick
Harvick's never been happy at Dover
Just a handful of top-10s moreover
Starting back in the field
Someone refused to yield
And he wound up getting runned over.
