No, no truth disclaimer to this one.

Juan Pablo Montoya was apparently upset with the way that Mark Martin raced him on the last lap (for 15th place, I might add), so he told Martin that he'd be willing to give Martin some pointers.

“He didn’t like the way I passed him there on the last lap, [saying] borderline stupid driving and suggested I take some smart driving lessons from him,” Martin said. “I’m not going to take no (stuff).”

After the race, Martin parked his Hendrick Motorsports car on the side of the garage where Montoya’s Earnhardt Ganassi Racing hauler was parked and the two drivers had words before retreating to their respective haulers.

“I don’t understand,” Montoya said. “He just ran the (stuffing) out of me on the last lap running for [expletive] 15th place.

“I gave him room out of [Turn] 4 and we got into Turn 1 and he got into my door and he nearly wrecked me and I nearly wrecked him in the process. We both lost.”

I'm sure many of you will notice the possible irony

Carl Edwards, like has been the case all season, wasn't a threat for the lead at any point during the Lifelock.com 400 -- though he did lead a lap at one point as green-flag stops cycled through -- but he consistently stayed in the top 10 for the majority of the race. Then suddenly, Edwards was in second place after the final round of pit stops.

And that wasn't a fluke. Edwards kept third-place Jeff Gordon at bay and was running quicker laps than eventual winner David Reutimann down the stretch. Whether or not he would have caught Reutimann if the race were a few laps longer is up for debate, but Saturday night may have been a sign of some much needed speed for Edwards and Roush Fenway Racing.

“We are definitely on the horizon," Edwards said. "We haven’t quite gone over, but I know we can run that well because we have done it and we did it tonight. We just have to figure out how to do it every week. I hope this is something we can go back on Monday and talk about why our car was so

Martin Truex Jr. promised that he'd race Jeff Gordon differently thanks to Gordon's actions at Sonoma. Apparently Truex also decided to extend that practice to all Hendrick cars.

In all seriousness, it's very hard to tell if he got into Jimmie Johnson or not. It certainly wasn't intentional, and given that there really isn't a clear-cut camera angle of the incident, Truex may not have even touched Johnson's rear quarterpanel in the first place. (Maybe it was that dreaded side draft that Kyle Busch talked about at Daytona?)

No matter what happened, the spin definitely ruined Johnson's day. He didn't sustain much -- if any -- damage in the incident, but after running at the tail end of the lead lap fell two laps down thanks to an unscheduled pit stop because of a tire problem. The four time champ never was able to get back on the lead lap and finished 25th.

But other drivers at the top of the standings had trouble too. Points leader Kevin Harvick fought an ill handling car all night

David Reutimann entered the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway with one career win, a rain-shortened victory at the Coca-Cola 600 in 2009.

There was no rain in sight Saturday night, and after passing Jeff Gordon before the final set of pit stops Reutimann beat Carl Edwards to the checkered flag to get his second win.

"It's just been a great weekend man, I tell you... I don't even know what to say," Reutimann told TNT. "It was probably the lamest burnout ever seen on this racetrack. I was tearing up pretty bad. Thank all my guys, everybody did a great job and no rain tonight. We earned this one. Nobody gave it to us and that feels pretty good."

The win pushed Reutimann up to 15th in the points standings, just 96 points behind 12th place Clint Bowyer, who moved into the Chase thanks to Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s 24th-place finish. Junior fell to 13th --15 points behind Bowyer. Mark Martin is now 14th -- 37 points out of the Chase after finishing 15th.

No, Danica Patrick didn't finish on the lead lap, but her 24th place finish in Friday night's Nationwide race at Chicagoland wasn't a total failure by any means.

Patrick was able to stay out of trouble -- a big achievement given how the first four races went -- and did seem to get more comfortable as the race went on. It wasn't a giant step -- no matter what anyone else says -- but it was certainly a move forward.

However, Patrick's sponsor GoDaddy.com lost the web host sponsor battle. Joe Nemechek recently picked up a five race deal from HostGator.com, who promised that anyone that switched from GoDaddy to HostGator on Friday would get a year's worth of web hosting for free if Nemechek beat Patrick Friday night. Nemechek finished 15th.

File this in the "not surprising" category: Elliott Sadler says he doesn't expect to be back with Richard Petty Motorsports in 2011.

"I don't fit into their future plans. We haven't talked about anything 2011 at all. Me as far as what they're doing and what we're doing. So we're definitely going on our different ways, but we need to end up this season as strong as we can. I think it will help me try to find something, land something for next year and I think it will help them land a driver that I think fits into what they're trying to do in the future."

However, despite the differences between himself and the organization formerly known as Gillett Evernham Motorsports, Sadler insists that there aren't any hard feelings between himself and Richard Petty.

"At this moment I do not expect at all to be back with this organization. You know what? I'm OK with that because I'm a huge fan of Richard Petty's. He deserves to be a part of this sport for a long time and he brings a lot to this

In an unprecedented move, Kasey Kahne will reveal where he is going to drive next season in an hour-long special to be aired Thursday at 9 PM ET on SPEED.

Kahne will make the announcement from his hometown of Enumclaw, Washington and said that the proceeds from the exclusive announcement will go to the Victory Junction Gang camp that is being built in Kansas City.

"I felt that this was a great way to support the Victory Junction Gang camp and put to rest all of the rumors surrounding my intentions for the 2011 season," Kahne said in a press release.

"While I will not take any questions on the matter until Thursday evening, I'll just say that my fans may not want to burn their Budweiser gear just yet."

Former TNT announcer Bill Weber will serve as the special's host and entertainment from Enumclaw. Weber will have a sit-down interview with Kahne before he announces his decision, plus perform some magic acts to open the show. After Kahne makes his decision public, he and Weber will

Benny Ertel, Mark Martin's business manager, told Sirius' Dave Moody that Randy Pemberton's report that Martin would be at Red Bull Racing in 2011 was untrue.

Ertel called the reports "aggravating," saying his driver has grown tired of answering the same questions, week after week. "It's the same thing, over and over again," Ertel said. "We walk into the media center and someone immediately raises their hand and asks about where Mark will be racing next season. Mark has answered the question a thousand times and it's always the same answer. 'I will be driving the #5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports next season.' That's as simple as it is, but some reporters just don’t listen."

"Randy Pemberton went on Sirius NASCAR Radio the other day and said Mark will be driving for Red Bull next season," said Ertel. "There's not a shred of truth to that statement, and he never bothered to ask Mark, Rick Hendrick or anyone else about it. If he had asked, he would have been told -- in no uncertain
