DARLINGTON, S.C. -- The Lady in Black loves to dance with familiar faces, which is why it was so surprising to see three unfamiliar names at the top of the leaderboard Saturday night.
How much does Darlington Raceway favor favorites? Consider 2007, when 11 of the top-12 finishers went on to make the Chase.
It's not easy to complete 367 grueling laps in traffic without winding up with an unpleasant souvenir of your meeting with the wall. Kyle Busch lost count of the times he tagged the fence -- and he ended up winning.
So for David Ragan, Travis Kvapil and Dave Blaney, not only did they survive, but they scored top-10 finishes on a night when the average race pace set a record. And in each case, it was a chance to carry positive momentum from a place that rarely allows such peace of mind.

You gotta handit to these three, especially Ragan.... hell of a performance. Kvapil is sure to get some sponsors now.

Of all of them on the track, I was glad to see Kvapil have such a good night. They need it. Hopefully he'll keep it up and be able to get a full time sponsor soon.

I had Biffle on my fantasy team, and that hurt...

But I had Kvapil on this week, and he made it all better! Good finish, man!
