  • Jimmie Johnson

    The secret Chad Knaus doesn't want us to know: They've magnetized the sheet metal on the No. 48 to repel other cars in the event of an accident.

  • Jeff Burton

    Before we give the trophy to Jimmie Johnson, Jeff would like to remind everyone that he had a 45-point lead heading into Charlotte two years ago.

  • Tony Stewart

    Good for Tony, but I still have to wonder: What would NASCAR have done if that had been Junior behind him?

  • Carl Edwards

    There's no "I" in team but there are two in idiot: Carl's comment after taking out two teammates and half the Chase field, " I was worried about the idiots when you come here and I was the guy that caused that one."

  • Greg Biffle

    According to Websters', "to biff" means to whack or strike. Yeah, I guess that sums up Lap 174 in a nutshell.

  • Clint Bowyer

    Yeah, he finished fifth, but how on earth did Clint not wind up leading a lap on a day when 28 different drivers were scored in front at some point?

  • Kyle Busch

    After the last three weekends, just getting to the finish line in one piece was almost a moral victory for Kyle and the No. 18 bunch.

  • Kevin Harvick

    No shrinking violet?: Kevin on Carl Edwards' ill-advised bump: "Maybe he should have raced the rest of the day. I know that his fans won't be very proud of him sitting back there riding around like a pansy."

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    A NASCAR philosophical question: If no one hangs around to throw beer cans at the winner, is it still Talladega?

  • David Ragan

    David was desperately looking for a teammate to draft with on that last restart, but they were already on their way to the airport.

  • Matt Kenseth

    There's no place like home: "At the end we kind of worked our way toward the front. You knew it was gonna be crazy, but I actually felt like we were almost home-free."

    When David Reutimann's tire exploded, Jeff went from seeing UPS to saying "urps."

  • Denny Hamlin

    Glad Denny wasn't seriously hurt, but that was a scary Faron Young moment he experienced right there -- "Hello, walls."

  • Paul Menard

    Paul was pretty excited about going to Yates for 2009 until he realized both of his future teammates never made it to the finish.

  • Regan Smith

    Somehow, I can picture Lee Petty, Fireball Roberts and Bill France Sr. sitting around watching the end of that race, saying, "It was still a nice move, rookie."
