  • Jimmie Johnson

    Over the rainbow: If I was in charge, I would have started playing Toto's "99" on the loudspeaker at Kansas after that finish.

  • Carl Edwards

    Carl went into Turn 4 like he was riding the cushion at Knoxville, and then suddenly realized he wasn't on a dirt track.

  • Greg Biffle

    The good news: Greg finished third.

  • Kevin Harvick

    Picking up the pace: That's the third time in the last seven races that Kevin has started outside of the top 30 and finished in the top 10.

  • Jeff Gordon

    Take two laps and call me in the morning: After Jeff finished fourth at Kansas, he said, "I think I did better when I'm sick. I might need to be sick more often."

  • Jeff Burton

    That's the first time I've ever heard of a car failing a pre-race tach inspection.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    I haven't seen that much wrasslin' going on since the days of Gordon Solie's Saturday afternoon show on the old WTBS.

  • Matt Kenseth

    Have you heard about the new Matt Kenseth cereal from Kellogg's? If you bump the bowl, they spin sideways in a cloud of white smoke.

  • Denny Hamlin

    If you had told Denny before the Chase started that he'd be ahead of teammates Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart after three races, he'd have been dusting off his trophy shelf.

  • Clint Bowyer

    Clint was too fast at the start and too fast in the pits. That combined to make for a somewhat half-fast finish.

  • Tony Stewart

    I know there's a shortage of gasoline in the southeast, but Tony's idea of sticking a gas man on the hood of his car was taking things a little too far.

  • David Ragan

    With his first top-10 finish since Bristol, are things looking UPS for David?

  • Casey Mears

    It looked for a time like Casey might just give a nice little going away present to Rick Hendrick and the boys.

    Boo who?: The way Kyle's luck has been recently, some fans of the No. 88 are almost feeling sorry for him. Yeah, right.

  • David Reutimann

    His average finish at Talladega is 24.7, but that's where stats lie. He was running with the leaders when his engine blew in the 2007 spring race and got caught up in a wreck last fall.
