Brian Vickers: A great run for a team that needed it. The point’s
situation is very clear for them and even if they miss the race next week they will be locked in. As the season goes on look
for this team to make more noise and become a factor.
Bobby Labonte: Mr. Atlanta had a great run Sunday. It was not
a win but considering his team and the equipment shortcomings at Petty Enterprises it was an almost win. If he did that well
in that equipment imagine if he had something top notch.
Stock Car Racing Commission: They did the right thing by giving Robby
Gordon his points back. I have issue with increasing the fine but the points are what matters the most. Their decision
changes the entire outlook of a team and probably saved them from going out of business.
Unimpressive:
Jimmie Johnson: Two weeks in a row this two-time champion team
had a sub par finish. And his Hendrick Motorsports teammates were in the top five. What’s the deal? Did Hendrick move
the No. 48 team to the developmental shop, A.K.A the old 5 garage out back? It might not be time to panic but it might be
time to start thinking about all the changes that happened at HMS but not with your team.
