    Enquiring minds want to know: Are surgeons preparing to graft extra fingers onto Kyle's hands in case he wins more than 10 races this season?

    The U.S. men won a bronze medal in gymnastics despite Carl's inability to fly to Beijing to join the competition.

    You can take the man out of off-roading, but you can't take the off-roading out of the man.

  • Tony Stewart

    Tony was trying to convince Kyle to let him lead one more lap for another five bonus points, but the No. 18 wasn't buying it.

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    When Travis Kvapil went through that gravel trap, Junior was stuck between a bunch of little rocks and a hard place.

  • Kasey Kahne

    Kasey is auctioning off a special edition, autographed Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Sport on eBay for his foundation this month. Seats four crazy female fans comfortably, but the insurance is your responsibility.

    For some reason, The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" kept going through my mind during that whole communication breakdown.

  • Kevin Harvick

    I couldn't have been the only one watching those closing laps and savoring the idea of Kevin getting one good shot at Juan Montoya.

  • Denny Hamlin

  • Greg Biffle

    Everybody wants to talk about Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart being winless in 2008, but did anyone think Biff would be in the same boat at this point?

  • Jeff Burton

    Michigan would be a great place for Jeff to get his season back on track, because that's where things derailed eight races ago.

  • Martin Truex Jr.

    I know it's water under the bridge, but without that Daytona penalty, Martin would only be 59 points out of the Chase right now.

  • Marcos Ambrose

    He took the STP to Victory Lane like Richard Petty, drove the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford to the front like David Pearson -- and sounds like Crocodile Dundee.

  • Juan Montoya
