Burton recorded his 20th career victory, with Richard Childress Racing finishing 1-2-3 as Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer came home just behind. Meanwhile, Tony Stewart proved for the third straight year that he had the car to beat. So, beat him they did. Harvick, at his Dick Dastardly best, made sure his buddy's hopes went up in smoke with a little touch and go that put Stewart in to the fence in the late going. Unlike the previous week when Tony got UGLY in his post-race comments about Goodyear, he sarcastically said the fault for the incident no doubt was his own.

The next day, the two pals got together for a GOOD deed, as Stewart raised $100,000 for charity by having his chest and back waxed. I've seen 40-year Old Virgin, and this whole wax thing does not look like a fun way to spend an afternoon. I'm guessing that after the Sunday incident, Tony would have gladly coughed up another $100,000 just for the chance to remove some of Harvick's hair in similar fashion, though the chest and back probably not the target areas Stewart would have had in mind.

Too BAD Dale Jarrett could not have wrapped up his career in better fashion, finishing 37th, but he did put that UPS ride in to the Top 35 for David Reutimann to take over in Martinsville. In fact, all three Michael Waltrip Racing entries are locked in for the moment, with 23-year old Michael McDowell moving in to the Double Zero. Brian Vickers and Kurt Busch, who gave up his 2007 points to Sam Hornish Jr and relied on his champion's provisional as a safety net, also have made the cut. Things could get UGLY for the five who lost their status. Jamie McMurray, Dave Blaney, Dario Franchitti, Regan Smith, and Kyle Petty are now among the have nots.

Just in case you did not pick up at what I was hinting at last week, points swapping after the start of the season is, in my humble opinion, an insult to the intelligence of any fan with an IQ above double digits. If you need to swap points six races in to the season with a team mate who happens to be a former champion because your own team just isn't GOOD enough to belong on the track, then just maybe your team is pretty pathetic.

Our latest champion, Jimmie Johnson, won't need to bail out Casey Mears just yet, who sits in 33rd spot sixteen points to the GOOD. Tony Stewart's team mates are just fine, so no swapping will be required at Gibbs Racing. Kurt Busch has been Sam Hornish Jr's sugar daddy so far, but Hornish has that final free ticket to Martinsville.

Matt Kenseth, on the other hand, might be called in to assist McMurray getting in to the Martinsville field. He is four points to the BAD trailing Hornish, and with Kenseth getting first dibs on the champion's provisional, I'm guessing a points swap between the two teams too tempting for Jack Roush to pass up. Next in line would be Bobby Labonte, and just maybe Kyle Petty might figure a swap in his best interests as well. Not in your best interest, or the sport's, but certainly his own.

Happy Birthday this week to the original Ron Thornton. Dad turns 75, and if Kenseth would only give him his points, my father could be racing later this month. My Dad, your Grandma, a pet turtle. As I mentioned before, and as the FOX boys agreed with me on their telecast, if you want a car's points you should also take the car number. If that messes up your promotional trinket sales, whose fault is that?

One of those boys who agreed with me was Darrell Waltrip. Of course, I had to read his lips to understand it, as his voice was so BAD he even needed help from his cohorts to get the Boogity, Boogity, Boogity out as the race started. However, surprising Waltrip with his old Mountain Dew car that was so dominant at Bristol back in the day was a pretty nice touch. You could say it left ole D.W. speechless, but then everything did on Sunday.
