      Some observations on Sunday's race at New Hampshire from David Poole of The Charlotte Observer and ThatsRacin.com: '

    • It’s a shame fans didn’t get to hear the entire postrace interviews with Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Clint Bowyer. There was some funny stuff. Gordon and Stewart joked about being so far behind when the race finished that Gordon had to drive hard to catch up and offer congratulations to the winner. Stewart didn’t even bother. “I just walked to victory lane,” he said. “I never could catch up to him all day when he was moving.”

  • 1st - Jimmie Johnson | This is a better start

    09/16/2007 8:31 pm EDT

    DAVID POOLE

    Jimmie Johnson just missed a top-five finish, and crew chief Chad Knaus wasn’t particularly happy about that.

  • 2nd - Jeff Gordon | Happy with the day

    09/16/2007 8:29 pm EDT

    DAVID POOLE

    Jeff Gordon said that since it was abundantly clear that Clint Bowyer had the best car all day, finishing second in what wasn’t the best car was a pretty good alternative.

  • 3rd - Tony Stewart | No calculator required

    09/16/2007 8:26 pm EDT

    DAVID POOLE

    Tony Stewart said it shouldn’t be hard to understand why the top seven drivers in Sunday’s finishing order were all drivers in this year’s Chase.

  • 4th - Clint Bowyer | Ah, the memories

    09/16/2007 8:24 pm EDT

    Clint Bowyer said he vividly remembers his first win in another racing series – in street stocks at a short track in Junction City, Kansas.

  • 5th - Kyle Busch | Pit strategy proves a plus

    09/16/2007 8:21 pm EDT

    DAVID POOLE

    Kyle Busch has never been the biggest fan of the car of tomorrow, and early in Sunday’s race he lost ground to the leaders.

    Martin Truex Jr. said all week he wanted to get off to a good start in his first Chase and he did that, finishing fifth.
