1:Mark Martin What they're really thinking: "Come on, man, I finish second and lose ground in the standings?"
2:Jimmie Johnson "Heh, heh, heh, heh."
3:Juan Pablo Montoya "I'm not going away, Jimmie. Would you like that in Spanish, too?"
4:Denny Hamlin "If only Richmond would swap dates with Dover, then I might be able to win one of these things."
5:Kurt Busch "I know you all wrote me off, but look, I'm not the head case you think I am."
6:Jeff Gordon "You think Jimmie now is better than I was in the 1990s?"
7:Tony Stewart "Well, it was fun while it lasted."
8:Ryan Newman "I have a Chase average of 8.5 and I'm how many points out? You gotta be kidding me."
9:Kyle Busch "$@*#! $@*#! $@*#! (breathe) $@*#! $@*#! $@*#!"
10:Greg Biffle "If they're going to let Jimmie test at Dover, why don't they just hand him the trophy?"
11:Kasey Kahne "Everyone knows my deal. I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said."
12:Brian Vickers "You're big time, man. Come on, you gotta believe it. Awww, who am I kidding."
