I've got your picture: You know, I could almost stomach yet another Toyota win -- until somebody got the bright idea of playing the old Vapors' hit, "Turning Japanese," in Victory Lane.

Carl wasn't really trying some unusual strategy there by going to the back of the pack at the start: "I couldn't drive like that for 400 miles, the way the car was, so I just figured I would hang around instead of wrecking everyone."

Maybe Junior could have argued that he should have been scored in front of Kasey Kahne, but if he lets a 361-point advantage slip away over the next eight races, five points will be the least of his worries.

Proof that there is a Matt Kenseth clone: Matt walked into the media center at the same time he was being interviewed "live" during the post-race show on TNT.

Jimmie had a pretty good run going at Daytona. Then the wheels fell off.

Jeff's night reminded me of an obscure Shalamar song, "The Second Time Around."

Jeff took one look at that AFLAC car in his rear-view mirror on the final restart and apparently quacked up.

Denny wound up in an incident with Ryan Newman. But then again, so did everybody in the field at one point or another.

Hit the road, Jack: Clint may be asking himself soon, "What can Brown do for you?"

Another day at the Office (Depot): So why did Tony get out of the car early at Daytona? Perhaps he was "taking care of business."

Practice? We don't need no stinkin' practice: Kurt scored a top-five finish after going to a backup car for qualifying.

Brian on the difficulty of running two- and three-wide at Daytona: "What made them fun also made them wreck a lot."

Kasey literally drove the wheels off of it: "We probably had the best race car on the entire track with a mediocre engine in it and still finished seventh."

Greg's night was a lot like a stick of gum: He got wadded up, chewed on and spit out.

It wasn't the top-10 finish he was looking for, but at least Kevin brought the Reese's back in one pieces.
