Impressive/Unimpressive: Paper
Clip Racing

Joe Jacobs - SCR
Impressive:
Denny Hamlin: Another big win for Toyota. A great run for a driver
who some people consider to be the number three man at Joe Gibbs Racing. If they keep up their momentum, you can expect see
them in the Chase when September comes.
Jamie McMurray: One weekend doesn’t fix the years of horrible driving and bad luck but it’s a start.
We will have to wait and see what will happen in the next few weeks. I would imagine he got a taste of what its like to be
on the outside of the top 35 in owner points looking in and that might have lit a fire under him. But if it did not, Roush
will find someone else for the No. 26 ride.
Matt Kenseth: Revenge is great… David Gilliland did a bonehead move and took Kenseth out. Kenseth returned
the favor and got penalized for it. NASCAR should have given him points for finally showing some emotion.
Michael McDowell: First races are tough, First races at Martinsville
can shake anyone’s confidence to the core. Finishing 25th after running on the lead lap all day is very impressive.
Hendrick Motorsports (HMS):
All four HMS cars finished in the top ten Sunday and dominated most of the race. Everyone said they were dead in the water.
Now we see what happens when everyone gets the same parts that Dale Earnhardt Jr. is getting.
