--Jeff and Jimmie are now in the top 10. Everyone please step away from that cliff.
--Jamie McMurray came through when he needed to Sunday. His eighth place finish boosted him to 30th in the owners' points, and a guaranteed spot at Texas.
--Sam Hornish is now on the outside looking in with Dave Blaney, Dario Franchitti, David Reutimann and Kyle Petty. It's a shame that Kyle missed Sunday's race, but he hasn't been competitive all year, and it's the price you pay for being a constant backmarker.
--Speaking of Reutimann, NASCAR wouldn't let the #00 and #44 switch points over the week off. I'm normally not a fan of NASCAR's tendency to let teams swap around points, but I do think that they erred by not letting Michael Waltrip Racing swap the points. Reutimann earned those points for the #00 car, and should have been able to keep them when he replaced Jarrett in the #44. NASCAR knew that Jarrett ws going to retire after five races, so this wasn't a shock or a move made because a team was struggling.
--How could I forget about the stolen sway bar. Oh yeah, I don't think it's that big of a story. When Jack Roush mentioned a Toyota team was the culprit, I immediately thought of MWR because of last year's Daytona cheating. However, this is Jack Roush that we're talking about and he has a tendency to overstate things. Do I completely believe Michael Waltrip? No. But I don't really believe Jack Roush either.
