1.

Electrical problems can't hold Kyle Busch down. Busch came from the rear of the field and worked his way up late to finish 3rd, a solid finish for the point leader. Busch has enjoyed success at Dover, with four top-10's in six starts.
2.

Earnhardt Jr. was a contender for the win before his tire blew while leading, and the damage hindered his speed, leaving him with a 15th-place car at best. However, Tony Eury Jr. used pit strategy to put Earnhardt into the top-5 by the end of the race. Jr. has found victory lane at Dover once back in 2001.

3.

He was the bridesmaid in both the All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600 to Kasey Kahne, but Biffle isn't complaining. After the 43rd place finish at Darlington this is exactly what Biffle's crew needed for a rebound, and they have renewed confidence heading to Dover, where Biffle won in 2005.
4.

Edwards was surprisingly a non-contender for the Coca-Cola 600. He used pit strategy like Earnhardt, and despite running out of fuel on the last lap, he was able to steal a 9th place finish. Expect another top-10 at Dover, where Edwards has an average finish of 9.1, including a win here last year.
5.

Burton ran well all night long, running in the top-10 before finishing a solid 6th. Burton could struggle at Dover, where he has an average finish of 16.9, though he finished 12th and 7th in the two races in the COT there last year.
6.

Kahne not only won the All-Star Race, but went on to win the Coca-Cola 600, his first win since the fall of 2006. However he's struggled in his career at Dover, where he only has one top-10 in eight starts.
7.

Stewart was within just a few miles of his first Coca-Cola 600 win when he fell victim to a flat-tire, relinquishing the lead to Kahne before finishing 18th. He should be a factor to win at Dover as well, where among twelve top-10's he has two wins in 18 starts.
8.

Bowyer was never a contender from the time they unloaded the cars on Thursday. At the end of the 600-mile event, Bowyer was 25th, two laps down. However, Dover should be better for Bowyer, where he has two 8th place finishes in four starts, with a worst finish of 17th.
9.

Gordon also played the fuel-mileage game, staying out with Edwards and teammate Earnhardt to finish 4th. The finish was the third top-10 in a row for Gordon, padding his position in the top-12 in points. Gordon finished 9th and 11th at Dover last year, though he was off the lead lap in the fall race.

10.

Kenseth finished 7th in the 600, his second consecutive top-10. The finish allowed Kenseth to climb from 20th to 16th in points, now 190 points out of 12th with 14 races left. Kenseth's team seems to be back on track, and this newly found consistency should continue at Dover, where Kenseth has ten top-10's in 18 starts.
