  • Carl Edwards

    The way Carl reacted in Victory Lane when he was told Jimmie Johnson finished second, you'd have thought someone had egged his plane.

  • Greg Biffle

    Greg spent so much time running directly in front of the leader Sunday, he thought he was driving the pace car.

    Quote of the week:

    "The pace was so slow, I thought NASCAR was just going to black flag us all for not making minimum speed."

  • Jeff Gordon

    Texas and Halloween? For Jeff, winless in 15 starts there, that's like his own personal horror show.

    It only makes a bad day worse when you run over a CAT on the highway.

  • Matt Kenseth

    Since Matt was getting tired of the practical joke, the team decided against bringing the "exploding fender" car to Atlanta.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    Junior was mad about the late starting time and visibility, but he was more angry that he forgot to set the TiVo to record the Redskins-Lions game.

  • David Ragan

    After the Atlanta race, David was quoting as saying, "Now we'll move on to Phoenix." Of course, his finishes at Texas have been 39th, 37th and 13th, so perhaps Fort Worth really doesn't cross his mind.

    Have you seen the Tony Stewart Halloween costume? First, it's too loose. Then it's too tight. Then it's too loose again ...

  • Clint Bowyer

    Clint's car was so bad, "the guys threw everything at it but the kitchen sink." And now you know why there were so many debris cautions on Sunday.

  • Kurt Busch

    Kurt's featured in that new Halloween movie: "Terror on Pit Road." You can be minding your own business when suddenly things go bump on the right.

  • Martin Truex Jr.

    Robert Frost warning: After staying out on old tires during that final caution, the No. 1 team may wax poetic about "the (pit) road not taken."
