6. Scott
I have to admit that it was nice to watch the #60, #2 and #6 head to the back of the field while David's #99 stayed up front.
Unfortunately, a poorly located pit stall put David in a bind. Out of coincidence, the #20 of Joey Logano had the box in front of the Aaron's crew and it appears that he needs more practice pitting his car in a half-decent manner! I'll give him some benefit of the doubt because his stall was oddly bent, but man - he stuck the entire rear end of his car over the line every time, successfully blocking David in! As irritated as I was, it clearly pissed David off even more because he ended up speeding on exit and relegating himself to the tail-end of the line. That was about 25th place on a track that's difficult ot pass on. 
Thankfully, David is talented enough and the car was good enough to shoot him back into the top-5 by the end of race. I think he could have finished better, but I'll take it! 
It's a sure thing that Scott wanted to win one for the home crowd (a big group of his fans were sitting in a reserved section to support him), but the car was tight early on. The crew did a great job all night gaining him positions on pit road. The team as a whole seems to be getting their groove on again so hopefully another trip to Victory Lane is just around the corner!
I was pretty happy to see Carl win since it's the first time this year and appreciated his Polish Victory Lap in honor of the late Wisconsin native Alan Kulwicki. When he didn't stop to do his famous backflip, I was surprised, but then remembered the somber earlier event of the day. When a racer is killed on track, it affects all series deeply. While the crowd booed, Carl explained the two reasons he decided not to celebrate - to respect Scott Kalitta and also because he was upset that he ran into the side of Clint Bowyer to take the lead. Now, a lot of people watching were probably furious with the crowd's reaction, calling them insensitive jerks. But in all reality, a good portion of them were likely unaware of what happened in the NHRA and simply felt gypped. In some ways, the heated boos should have made Carl and Carl's fans proud because people get really excited over his flips! I hope when Carl came over the loudspeaker, the fans understood why he chose a subdued celebration.
