| 1: | Denny Hamlin | (What drivers are really thinking) "I said I was the driver to beat and I meant it. Now, if only I can figure out Dover." | | 2: | Mark Martin | "Well, that makes it an even 40 wins. Imagine how many I'd have if I'd have been driving for Rick Hendrick 10 years ago." | | 3: | Jimmie Johnson | "I got 'em right where I want 'em. Well, almost all of 'em. That dadgum Martin won't go away." | | 4: | Jeff Gordon | "I gotta be better. I gotta be better. I gotta be better." | | 5: | Kyle Busch | "OK, I know I said I'm all about helping Denny win a title. But you know what? This still blows." | | 6: | Tony Stewart | "Granted, I didn't expect to be this good this quickly, but I can see the championship, and I want it." | | 7: | Brian Vickers | "I gotta step up and prove to these guys that I belong in this playoff." | | 8: | Juan Pablo Montoya | "I'm going to show these guys that I can win on an oval. At least I hope I do sooner than later." | | 9: | Kurt Busch | "If I can finish sixth with a crew chief that's only given one day to work, imagine what I could do with a team at full strength." | | 10: | Ryan Newman | "You know, if we could just win a race, I think we could go on a roll." | | 11: | Greg Biffle | "Jack, I'm not saying we should give up, but it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to start thinking about 2010." | | 12: | Kasey Kahne | "Look, I don't want to leave Richard Petty and Dodge in a lurch, but man I want to drive for someone else next year." | | Lucky Dog: | Clint Bowyer | "I think we've been pretty good, but we still don't have a chance against these Hendrick boys." | | DNF: | Reed Sorenson | "Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, even if it means working for free. I hope somebody respects that." |
