Fans expecting a repeat of the fireworks following Bristol were sadly disappointed, because the closest Carl got to Kyle Busch was when they tried to use the same Porta-Potty before the race.

Wouldn't it have been great for Dean Wormer to call Kyle into the Cup hauler last weekend and say, "As of now, mister, you're on double secret probation!"

The only thing that could stick with Jimmie on Sunday night was a hot dog wrapper.

At one point, Greg and his spotter wound up talking about a fight in the stands. Of course, that turned out to be less one-sided than the race.

It's only Rock & Roll 400, but I like it: Kevin has a streak of seven consecutive top-10 Richmond finishes on the line this weekend.

"These things are pretty frustrating. You can't ever really go anywhere." Was Matt talking about Sunday night's race or rush-hour traffic on the L.A. freeway system?

Tony and Greg Zipadelli should rename that chassis "Fido," because it had no bite and all it wanted to do was roll over and play dead.

Self-motivator?: Since Denny had his meltdown at Michigan, he's finished third twice and solidifed his chances of making the Chase.

Junior's issue with the yaw of the car at California wound up with him having a yawner of a race.

Because he's tremendous at Richmond and terrible at Loudon, Clint hopes Hanna is just a bunch of hot air this weekend.

He finishes 13th and leads a lap -- and still loses five points in the standings to the guy he's chasing.

Jeff looked more lost Sunday night than an out-of-town tourist trying to find Grauman's Chinese Theater.

They roasted Jeff last weekend for his 500th career start -- and the worst thing anybody could come up with to say about the guy was that he wears old shoes.

During the daylight, Brian was one of the only cars to hang with Jimmie Johnson. But things went dark when he got that loose-wheel penalty late in the race.

Mark's only win at Richmond came in 1990, three months before Joey Logano was born.
