    Jeff was excited to claim the victory Saturday night until he realized the winner's check was actually an IOU from the federal bank bailout.

  • Greg Biffle

    When asked if it helped to have Jimmie Johnson fade backward at the end of Saturday's race, Greg's response was, "It was a lot better when I was in front of him."

  • Kyle Busch

    Cross my heart: Perhaps Kyle might think about using the pink paint scheme again, since that fourth-place finish obviously lifted and supported the crew for a full 18 hours.

  • Clint Bowyer

    Anybody who thought 2007 was a fluke needs to look at the standings and notice Clint's name ahead of champions Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth.

  • Carl Edwards

    After his brawl with Kevin Harvick and resulting technical knockout in the race, I'm reminded of Marlon Brando's famous line: "I coulda been a contender."

  • Kevin Harvick

    As soon as I saw those photos of Friday's fracas, a song by another Bakersfield native -- Buck Owens -- came to mind: "I've Got a Tiger By the Tail."

    After Jeff whacked the fence twice in the first six laps, Gordon fans in attendance Saturday night were given coupons for a free Harvey Wallbanger.

    Interesting stat of the week: David has completed 8,919 of the 8,977 laps run in 2008. That's more than any other driver in Sprint Cup this season.

  • Denny Hamlin

    Denny's week consisted of an overnight hospital stay and a brush with the Jack Daniels car. How does that joke go: "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy?"

    Forget Obama and McCain. Kasey's campaigning to have the entire 36-race Sprint Cup schedule run at Lowe's Motor Speedway in 2009.

    After finishing third by using a hybrid setup from Sam Hornish Jr. and Ryan Newman, Kurt and the crew will be taking random suggestions from the hot dog vendors at Martinsville.

    Give me the night: That was Jamie's first top-10 finish in a race under the lights in 2008.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    Didn't see that coming: When asked if he could sense a problem with the tire before he wrecked, Junior said, "Hell, no! I would have slowed down if I knew the tire was going to blow."
