  • Jeff Burton

    Another top-five finish for Jeff. Amazing that his 13th-place effort in the Daytona 500 is his worst finish of the season so far.

    Carl had music on his mind Sunday. He could C sharp, but his tire B flat.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    Dale Jr. had Boo Weekley on his radio show this week. And no, that's the PGA golfer, not a new nickname for Kyle Busch.

  • Kyle Busch

    Kyle went to three different tracks in three days and didn't lead a lap at any of them. How surprising was that?

  • Jeff Gordon

    All those fuel calculations went in the tank as soon as that last caution flag came out. Still, 38th to 14th had the team pumped up.

  • Greg Biffle

    Greg got busted for breaking the speed limit on pit road Sunday, but he had quite a bit of company in Tony Stewart, Dave Blaney and Patrick Carpentier.

    Denny on why he seemed unsteady after Sunday's race: "As soon as you get vertical outside of that race car it just seems like all the blood leaves your head and goes somewhere else."

  • Matt Kenseth

    Hello, Newman: Matt is now just 24 points out of 14th position after his fourth consecutive top-10 finish. Oh, by the way, Michigan is one of his best tracks.

    Jump start?: Kevin turned what could have been a negative into a positive when he charged back into contention after having to change that battery early on.

  • Clint Bowyer

    Clint crashed, but it was Juan Montoya who saw his day go up in flames. And the No. 42 Dodge may still be burning for all we know.

  • Martin Truex Jr.

    Finished second in both 2007 Michigan races. Another runner-up run would be a big boost to his Chase chances.
