| 1: | Jimmie Johnson | What they're really thinking: "If I can get through Talladega, I got a pretty good shot at this thing." | | 2: | Mark Martin | "Whoever wins the championship will have earned it. Big time." | | 3: | Juan Pablo Montoya | "I'm going to win one of these races, or at least wreck trying." | | 4: | Jeff Gordon | "How cool would it be to have a showdown – me and Ray Evernham vs. Jimmie and Chad Knaus." | | 5: | Tony Stewart | "Imagine where we'd be in the standings if we didn't have all these problems – broken parts, broken fenders, speeding on pit road." | | 6: | Kurt Busch | "Hey everybody, I'm still here." | | 7: | Denny Hamlin | "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." | | 8: | Kasey Kahne | "Want to know why I went off after the race? Because I've got enough to deal with racing for a mediocre team." | | 9: | Carl Edwards | "Yeah, I thought I had a shot if I could have made up some ground in California. Not so much anymore." | | 10: | Greg Biffle | "Hey, Joey Logano may be 19, but if he wants to race with the bulls then he's going to get the horn." | | 11: | Ryan Newman | "You're the Rocket Man, man, you need to win a pole before the season's over." | | 12: | Kevin Harvick | "Things have gotten better. Then again, they couldn't have gotten any worse." | | Lucky Dog: | Casey Mears | "I hope someone is noticing the improvement." | | DNF: | Kyle Busch | "Y'all see how many cars I passed even with a barf bag in my left hand?" |
