×—Owns tiebreaker with more wins (3).
Note: Some media outlets said R. Wallace, Kurt Busch, and Mayfield were mathematically eliminated from the championship. That is not true. The most points a driver can make up in a race is 156 points, and in theory, all three drivers would have to have big points days when the leaders falter. However, no driver can be eliminated officially until a driver is behind the leader by 156 points multiplied by the number of races remaining. A driver is still in contention as long as the difference between the leader and such driver is no greater than 156 points (the difference between first and 43rd) multiplied by the number of races remaining, provided said drivers start all remaining races.

“How are we to know that a Dracula is a key-pounding pianist who lifts his hands up to his face, or that a bass fiddle is the doghouse, or that shmaltz musicians are four-button suit guys and long underwear boys?”

“It is sweet and honourable to die for one’s country.
[Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.]”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“Americans are fascinated by their own love of shopping. This does not make them unique. It’s just that they have more to buy than most other people on the planet. And it’s also an affirmation of faith in their country, its prosperity and limitless bounty. They have shops the way that lesser countries have statues.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Groot: Now wait a minute, Quo. You really ain’t gonna take a man’s only set of teeth, are ya?

Groot: Yeah, but I gotta use ‘em for eatin’.
Quo: Come grub you get ‘em.
Groot: Whad ya’ gonna do with ‘em?
Quo: My name now Two-Jaw Quo.”
