  • Carl Edwards

    Well, one thing's for certain. Somebody on the No. 99 team just proved the existence of perpetual motion.

  • Jimmie Johnson

    Apparently spotter Stevie Reeves won't be back in 2009. That's OK. Most fans think Jimmie's getting direct instructions from NASCAR's black helicopter anyway.

  • Kyle Busch

    Boo the Shrub all you want for what he does on the track, but giving $100,000 to Sam Ard over the weekend tells you there's more to the guy than meets the eye.

  • Greg Biffle

    After saying, "I can't quite figure out how my teammate can go eight laps more than I can," Greg sounds like he's suffering from fuelish desires.

  • Jeff Gordon

    The real reason why the networks haven't declared a winner in Indiana? They're still counting up the "Jeff Gordon for President" write-in votes.

  • Clint Bowyer

    Quirky stat of the week:

    Top-10 finishes for Clint in odd-numbered Chase races: 0

    Top-10 finishes for Clint in even-numbered Chase races: 4

  • Kevin Harvick

    Kevin finished 13th at Lowe's, seventh at Martinsville, 13th at Atlanta and seventh at Texas. I detect a developing trend.

  • Jeff Burton

    After qualifying 38th at Texas, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jeff and the crew doing an impromptu rain dance on Friday at Phoenix.

  • Matt Kenseth

    Phoenix seems to be an all-or-nothing track for Matt. He has six finishes of sixth or better, but five times he's wound up 32nd or worse.

  • Denny Hamlin

    The way Denny's car handled at Texas, it truly was "Mission: Impossible" to get a decent finish.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    The idea of doing a "splash and go" stop at the end was sound. The splash part worked OK. But it was the go part that didn't work so good.

  • David Ragan

    The next two weeks may tell the tale for forecasting David's 2009 season. Phoenix is statistically his worst track and Homestead his best.

  • Tony Stewart

    Instructed by his advisors to appeal to a younger audience, Tony attempted to do a little "shredding" last weekend. Too bad something got lost in the translation.

  • Martin Truex Jr.

    Martin's car was mediocre on Sunday until somebody cranked up Led Zeppelin's In The Evening on the two-way.

  • Jamie McMurray

    The last time Jamie looked this good consistently from week-to-week, the nation was trying to decide between Bush and Kerry.
