Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports

Other Things Worth Mentioning (Or Repeating)

• Danica Patrick is off to the best start of her career. In nine races she already has two top-10 finishes and she has no finishes outside of the top-30.
• One has to feel for Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers; two good guys missing a lot of time on the track for health issues/ injuries.
• There have been seven different winners in the first nine races.
• David Ragan will run in his third different car for his third different team when he takes over the No. 55 machine after Talladega.
• Chase Elliott has looked impressive in his limited Cup action, it will be interesting to see more of Erick Jones this season as well.
