A Speed Channel reporter working last weekend at Richmond on a story about NASCAR drivers who stay in shape asked Kyle Busch whether it was coincidence that the top five finishers in the previous week's heat-impacted race at California have fitness regimens. "Where'd [Dale Earnhardt] Junior finish?" Busch asked. "Didn't he finish fifth? You call him in shape? He got out huffin' and puffin,' falling over, trying to find a place to sit." Earnhardt did, in fact, finish fifth -- after Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Busch and Jeff Burton.
