This week's awards:

Surprisingly Good Finish--Greg Biffle. A nice 3rd place run. He continues to surprise me, race-in & race-out. Honorable mentions: Martin Truex Jr. (6th), Dave Blaney (9th), Jamie McMurray (10th), and Travis Kvapil (11th).

Most Impressive Run--Again, Greg Biffle. He led a handful of laps, and outside of pit stops, he was running in the top 3 almost the entire race. Honorable mention to Biffle's teammate, Jamie McMurray. Every time I looked he was running in the top 10.

Perserverance--This is an award I'd much rather give an incomplete to. It just seemed like everyone ran in the same areas from start to finish. So, I'm digging at the bottom of the barrel for this one. I'm going to go in the direction of 19th place finisher Robby Gordon. He had what was no better than a 25th place car and wound up in the top 20.

Deserved a Better Finish--Again, this could almost go incomplete. The drivers that ran good, finished good. If one driver sticks out, I'd say is Clint Bowyer. He should probably had a top-20 finish, as he was running in the top 15 for a handful of laps. He had just sniffed the top 10 at the halfway point of the race when a shock mount broke and relegated the team to a 36th place finish.

Surprisingly Bad Finish--Gotta go with the 43rd place finisher, Denny Hamlin. He was involved in the first caution of the race that ended his day. Honorable mentions: Tony Stewart (41st), Kevin Harvick (38th), Clint Bowyer (36th) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (35th).

Should've Stayed in Bed--I'm leaning in the direction of Kevin Harvick. The 38th place finisher, had a weekend he'd like to forget. They didn't qualify well (34th), and had only advanced barely into the top 30 by lap 16 and was trying to avoid hitting the spinning car of Elliott Sadler, but was slammed from behind and ended spending 50 laps in the garage for repairs. Honorable mentions: Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart, and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
