A 1-2-3 finish for Richard Childress Racing, a first for RCR. I had goosebumps as they crossed the line, just a fantastic finish. Congrats to Jeff Burton who beat out teammates Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer to the finish line.

Here are a few random thoughts that crossed my mind as I watched yesterday’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway:

-- Let me just say this….what a cute little pumpkin Jeff Gordon’s little girl is. She actually looks like a spitting image of him, only cuter of course.

-- There should be a rule about allowing someone in the broadcast booth when you have laryngitis. It was more painful than normal listening to Darrell Waltrip try to talk.

-- I hate it when they only show the top-ten in the rundown during the race. Uugh, it really urkes me, like we aren’t watching other drivers that are outside the top-ten. Give me a break.

-- It’s getting harder and harder to defend Juan Pablo Montoya. That's all I'm saying on that.

-- Once again, I jinxed my pick to win the race. In this case, I’m not that sad about it. Kyle Busch’s power steering went on the car.

-- Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the best finishing Hendrick car again. Nice.

-- When they were interviewing Kevin Harvick after the race asking him about his error on the track when he took out Tony Stewart, I jokingly said: “He’s scared.” I mean, wouldn’t you be? You never know what that freak Tony Stewart will do when he’s mad. Seriously.

-- How much do you love Clint Bowyer?! That guy is the bomb. His post race interview was hilarious. If you missed it, he said something about Stewart and back waxing at Harvick's house and that it should be interesting. And then he said that he may have to go over and check it out and bring some boxing gloves for them. I think Bowyer's my new hero.

-- I blame Harvick that I have to look at Stewart for one more week without a haircut. I don't think Stewart's cutting his hair until he wins again. Thanks Harvick.

-- Goodbye Dale Jarrett. Sorry you couldn’t have had a better finish than 37th for your last race.
