Kurt Bush - Congratulations on a great week. You speak well when in front of the cameras and I really liked your sincerity when thanking the US troops and their families for their commitments to our country. You had a heck of a week and are a deserving winner. I only hope you share some of that bonus with your crew and a lot of it with Steve Addington; He is making you look good!
Kyle Bush - You too had a heck of a week with two wins and a third in Cup at Charlotte where you did not have a third place car at all. You too sincerely thanked the US troops and I salute you for that. I also salute you for being patient when Jeff Burton stuck his finger in your face about 20 different times after the race. Because of who you are and how you race, people are going to come after you. Sometimes you are right, sometimes you are wrong. In this case, you certainly were not in the wrong for racing hard at the end of a long race. It was an unfortunate incident and I felt bad for Burton's finish because of what happened, but that was erased as soon as he had a temper tantrum in front of the cameras after the race. Look out, my guess is he will come after you in retaliation and probably make it look like an accident. Just keep in mind, Burton looked like an idiot and you handled yourself well.....like a champion. You also handled yourself well this week with your comments about your teammate and how he raced you a week ago. He came across arrogant and unforgiving, you came across as someone who learned a lesson about your teammate.
Jamie McMurray - Man, I wish you got the win for your boss and could have made a great an incredible day. You improved your car all day and that is what it takes to be an end of the race contender for wins and...championships. I sincerely hope you make the Chase. You are a good example of how important it is for a driver to have the right fit with owner and crew. You are a much better racer this year than you have been in the past with Roush.
David Reutimann - You started 6th and ran in the top 5 all day. You continuously fought hard on restarts but it was obvious you did not have the horsepower to get through the gears as fast as everyone else. Yet, after every restart, you fought back into the top 5 where you finished. I am excited for you and MWR as I truly believe that your teammate and quite possibly you, will make the Chase this year and combined, I am looking for MWR to have 2 wins this year and quite possibly 3 or 4.
