MARTINSVILLE
* Week 6 of 36 - By: Mark Aumann
Who's Up - Biggest Gain this week:
Juan Montoya: 14th to 10th
Who's Down - Biggest Drop this week:
Kurt Busch: 3rd to 7th
Carl Edwards
In case you're wondering, Carl is the last guy not named
Hamlin, Johnson or Busch to win a race on a short track.
Jimmie Johnson
Jimmie on finishing second after getting passed by Kevin Harvick on the final lap:
"It's like kissing your sister, and I don't have a sister."
Ryan Newman
Ryan's second in the points while team owner Tony Stewart is sixth.
In this instance, it's OK to show up the boss.
Kyle Busch
OK, I watched the post-race interviews at Fontana.
Where is the real Kyle Busch and what did somebody do with him?
Kevin Harvick
Those last two laps, all I could think about was the theme from Jaws.
Da-dum. Da-dum. Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum ...
Tony Stewart
Almost everybody felt shortening the Fontana race from 500 to 400 miles was the right move.
Tony wouldn't have minded had it been more like 390.
Kurt Busch
Kurt's quote after finishing 17th at Fontana:
"We threw everything we could today at the track -- bars, air pressures, spring rubbers, you name it."
And he still couldn't get a debris caution.
Matt Kenseth
Jeff Gordon used the term "cheap shot" to describe Matt's bump on the last lap at Martinsville last spring. In Matt's opinion, if you can get Crown Royal half price at Happy Hour, a cheap shot is a good thing.
Paul Menard
I have a really low tolerance for dehydration: It was OK that Paul wanted to meet Molly Ringwald.
But following her around, quoting lines from The Breakfast Club was a little over the top.
Juan Montoya
Martinsville has been described as a drag race connected by two U-turns. For Juan, that pretty much describes trying to negotiate Biscayne Boulevard in Miami during tourist season.
Kasey Kahne
Laps Kasey's run in the top 15 in 2011: 1,025
Laps Kasey's led in 2011: 0
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Junior's two favorite things about Martinsville: Hot dogs and grandfather clocks.
He's had plenty of the first and wouldn't mind getting one of the second.
Mark Martin
Sunday will be Mark's 800th Cup start. That's eighth all-time, only nine behind
Darrell Waltrip, and look where all that going around in circles got ol' D.W.
Martin Truex Jr.
The track in southern Virginia has been anything but Martin's ville.
He's finished 28th or worse in three of his past four visits, although he was fifth last spring.
Jeff Gordon
Having lived in Indiana for some time, Jeff's rooting for the local team in the Final Four.
Of course, he also likes the idea of being able to say the "Butler did it."
