The good news? With his third-place finish, Carl's still leading the points. The bad news? Because he finished behind teammates Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth, Carl has to wash Jack Roush's P-51 Mustang.

The last time Greg won back-to-back races? In 2000, the year he won the Craftsman Truck Series championship.

First, he barely missed Patrick Carpentier. Then later, Sam Hornish Jr. That should earn Jimmie at least a share of the IRL championship.

If consistency is the key to winning the Chase, notice that's eight consecutive top-10 finishes for Kevin.

Oh, fooey!: If it had rained just a little longer and sent Tony to Victory Lane at Kansas a year ago, how much different would the last 12 months have been for Smoke?

A word of advice for Jeff: If they stop the race this weekend for rain, don't touch the car cover!

With five consecutive qualifying runs of fifth or better, Jeff has Lap 1 down pat. It's Laps 2 to the checkered flag that seem to still be the trouble.

Remember how about this time last year, everybody was still wondering if Clint was just a flash in the pan?

There can't be anybody more tired of talking about tires than Junior.

Quote of the week ...
When asked about team orders late in the race, Matt said, "The plan was have Greg win. We just tried to make it look really good."

Kyle's car went up in smoke long before he had an opportunity to do a post-race burnout.

Denny didn't find it at all funny that the movie he received from Netflix on Monday was "Shaft."

Somebody needs to remind Mark that he's not eligible for the championship this season.

Martin was excited when he first heard rumors that Gordon might be his teammate. Then he realized they were talking about Robby, not Jeff.

Over the last four races, David has as many top-10 finishes as Tony Stewart and one more than Kyle Busch.
