And here we thought Kyle was winning all those races because of his magnetic personality.

Bob Costas asked Bela Karolyi to analyze Carl's post-race backflip, but nobody understood a word he said. He's like the Ward Burton of gymnastics.

Weird stat of the week:
Laps led by Tony in the last three Bristol day races: 769
Laps led by Tony in the last three Bristol night races: 0

In the sandwich of life, sometimes you're the sliced bread. Sometimes you're the sliced meat. And sometimes you're the sliced tire.

Is Greg due for a win at Bristol? His average finish there is 9.7 -- thanks to seven top-10s -- better than any other track that he goes to.

There was a big crowd of Matt's fans on hand for Sunday's race at Michigan. Of course, most of them have been stuck in the infield mud since last August.

I'm not wearing my legal briefs: When asked a question about Murphy's Law (If anything can go wrong, it will), Junior's response was "I don't know what Murphy's Law means."

No matter how many times I watch that commerical, I laugh every time Kevin says "How about trying a different girlfriend?"

Give me the night: Jeff hasn't finished worse than 12th in the last four Bristol night races.

You have our permission to pitch a hissy: "If [I thought] having a temper tantrum was going to fix things, I'd do that too, but I know that's not going to fix it."

Bristol might not be on Martin's list of favorite tracks. Not only has he never scored a top-10 finish there, he's never even led a lap.

David Pearson used to light up a cigarette during cautions, but I don't think that's what Kasey meant when he talked about smoke in the cockpit last weekend.

By staying out on that last caution, David proved that your mom was right when she said, "Just because everybody else is doing it, doesn't mean that you have to."

Somebody needs to market a talking Mark Martin doll that can say these three phrases after every race: "We had a great car today." "This was just an awesome effort." "Man, we came so close to winning again this week."

Well, that's one way to keep NASCAR officials from doing a post-race dyno test on your engine.
