Did You Notice? How quickly Greg Biffle was ready with a story when he exited his car in Kansas’s victory lane? Whether you believe NASCAR made the right call or not, listening to the way in which the No. 16 driver handled the scenario certainly made it hard to believe that car would have lasted …
Editor’s Note: Regular Hot/Not columnist Cami Starr is off this week. Expect her back next Tuesday at the same time, same place, to give all her latest insight as the Chase race continues to unfold.

This week, here’s a sneak peek at what a select few were thinking following the rain and darkness-shortened LifeLock 400 at Kansas.
1. Goody’s, anyone? – Somehow, I think all the NASCAR bigwigs were ready to share a round of Goody’s headache powder by the end of today’s Lifelock 400. Officials were called upon to make numerous critical and highly controversial calls this weekend, culminating in the Cup race itself. Should the starting time have been moved …
The Buschwhackers put on a heck of a show Saturday in Kansas. The race started with Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards having a great duel.
NASCAR handed down some penalties this week. Yeah, that’s nothing new, but this week’s bear a closer look.

Carl Edwards elected to stay out on worn tires during the penultimate caution period at Dover, and he was able to hold off Greg Biffle on four fresh tires.
Jimmie Johnson – Johnson won both Cup races at Dover in 2002, as well as this event in 2005. He has top-10 finishes in seven of 11 Cup starts here – but has missed the mark the last two times out. Jeff Gordon – It’s a tale of two tracks for Gordon. On the plus side, …
