As much as I dislike the COT if it weren't for it he Reuti and Sadler might not be with us anymore.

Jeff Gordon is 34th WTF!

It's not that serious
They didn't even work on q trim in practice. Lots of long runs. Then in qualifying he got loose after hitting the bump between 1&2. It was all over after that. There car is supposedly really fast in race trim, though.

I find the lack of performance shown by the #18 & 99 thus far to be surprising 
and if/when that #9 team ever figures out how to close a race, they'll be a factor.

Right on.
Martin has run 2 fewer races and is still ahead of Kahne and Kurt Busch in points while trailing Gordon by only 7.
