- There is no truth to the rumor that Toyota handles the electronics for Las Vegas Motor Speedway's caution lights.

- Chip Ganassi's got a couple feuding drivers - Juan Montoya and Jamie McMurray - on his hands, and he's probably going to be pretty grumpy about that.

- McMurray made a good point, though, when he said not much stock should be taken in what an angry Montoya said as he climbed out of the car. As Kyle Petty said on Speed, "Juan's ... never going to hold back."

- Well, Jimmie Johnson didn't win either of the Atlanta races last year. In fact, Dodge drivers (Kurt Busch and, at the time, Kasey Kahne) won both.

- Once again, television told us a race was sold out when it obviously wasn't. It's actually reached a point where a race is a sellout because many of the seats aren't ... for sale.

- The biggest race of the week might be the ratings battle between the NASCAR in Las Vegas with the Olympic hockey finals.

- Why's Kevin Harvick the point leader, even though he's winless? He's finished seventh, second and second in the three races. Johnson's finishes are 35th, first and first.

- Tony Stewart fans, take heart. He started out the 2009 season almost exactly the same way.

- Jeff Gordon's never been a "sour grapes" kind of guy, but there have to be times when he remembers recommending Johnson's hiring to Rick Hendrick and thinks to himself, "What was I thinking?"

- Chevrolet drivers have finished at least 1-2 in all three
