| 1: | Mark Martin | What they're really thinking: "If seventh is my worst Chase finish, I'll take it. By the way, Alan Gustafson is a genius." | | 2: | Jimmie Johnson | "Somewhere, Rodney Dangerfield is looking down on me saying, 'Now you know how I feel.' " | | 3: | Juan Pablo Montoya | "Whoever asked if someone can win the Chase without winning a race, the answer is yes." | | 4: | Tony Stewart | "Come on, fellas, hop on my back and I'll lead you to the Promised Land." | | 5: | Jeff Gordon | "Second is great, but the bottom line is we've got to win, and probably more than once." | | 6: | Denny Hamlin | "If I get through Talladega unscathed, I'm taking this thing." | | 7: | Kurt Busch | "Started 39th, finished 11th. Be kind of nice if we'd unloaded in Kansas a little bit better." | | 8: | Greg Biffle | "I'm with you all – anybody but Jimmie Johnson." | | 9: | Kasey Kahne | "First the King, now a Saudi prince? Whoever is running this show, this season has been a royal pain." | | 10: | Kyle Busch | "Does anyone care about the amazing season I'm having on the Nationwide side?" | | 11: | Ryan Newman | "Guess I need to be better on the intermediate tracks if I'm ever going to win a title." | | 12: | Carl Edwards | "We've got a lot of work to do this offseason. I mean a lot." | | Lucky Dog: | Brad Keselowski | "Yo Hamlin, I know how to get through Talladega. I've actually won there." | | DNF: | Brian Vickers | "Well, it was fun while it lasted. See y'all next year." |
