  • Kyle Busch

    The last guy to come into Atlanta and dominate like that was Bill Sherman, and Georgians don't like him much, either.

  • Kevin Harvick

    Going from A to B: Kevin gets a seventh-place finish at Atlanta, where he's usually been lousy -- and now it's off to Bristol, one of his favorite tracks in the whole world.

  • Greg Biffle

    When the tires went away in the closing laps, he was a sitting duck (unlike Carl Edwards' smoked duck). Still, he's had the best finish for a Roush Fenway Ford twice this season.

  • Jeff Burton

    Another solid effort for a guy who is only one of four drivers to have completed every lap so far this season.

  • Carl Edwards

    Bulletin: NASCAR penalizes Carl another 100 points because of a loose lid on the men's room toilet.

    Who knew Chicken Little was a race fan?: "I don't want to miss the Chase. The sky might fall."

  • Tony Stewart

    Well, that puts an end to Goodyear's proposed 2008 marketing campaign, "Where there's Smoke, there's tire."

  • Matt Kenseth

    Matt was spotted throwing a football in the motorhome lot. Think he's hoping to get a tryout with the Packers now that Brett Favre's retiring?

    Atlanta finally proved that Kasey has a fear of commitment (cones).

    Things were going fine for Ryan until the No. 42 car gummed things up.

  • Kurt Busch

    Kurt's day went from awful to mediocre, which with the way things went at Atlanta was worth an 11th-place finish.

    After the race, Jeff said, "I feel like I've run a thousand miles here." Too bad NASCAR isn't giving away double points.

  • Jimmie Johnson

    The good news: He passed the leader twice at Atlanta.

    The bad news: It was to get back on the lead lap.

    Martin had a solid top-10 day going until things went all nuts in the pits.

  • Dale Jarrett

    Three-time Daytona 500 winner, 32 victories, 163 top-five finishes, the 1999 championship -- and one of the classiest guys in the sport. Enjoy retirement, Dale, and keep 'em in the fairways.
