This week, the Crappafoni Pictures crew is in Hotlanta to bring you this week's version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Southern-style. Enjoy!
THE GOOD
Kevin Harvick: he had the car to beat tonight, but he was jobbed of a win by a late caution. He led the most laps and had the best car overall. DAMN YOU CLINT BOWYER!! YOU'RE GOING UNDER THE FREAKING BUS TONIGHT!
Kasey Kahne: this is the first time I have put the race winner in the second slot, but I must. He did NOT have the best car, just the luckiest--he was best on short runs, but faded on long runs. The last caution brought a very short run and he checked out. He all but clinched a Chase spot.
Juan Pablo Montoya: he wasn't strong at first, but got better as the race went on. He led laps en route to a solid third place finish. He greatly solidified his Chase chances.
David Reutimann: a very solid run for the Aaron's Dream Machine driver.
Mark Martin: he hung around the top 10 much of the race, finishing in fifth and solidifying his hold on the Chase.
Honorable Mention: Denny Hamlin, Brian Vickers, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle.
THE BAD
Clint Bowyer: he was the opposite of his teammate Harvick--very bad from the start. He went a lap down early and never recovered. He brought out a late caution, costing Harvick his first win in nearly three years, and RCR's first win of the season. Way to go, Clint. Next time, get your car under control and you won't be the subject of an angry Bad and Ugly.
ESPN: they were ROOTING for a late caution because their boy Kasey Kahne was in contention and he was best on short runs. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW ESPN?????? ARE YOU?? YOU SHOULD BE.
THE UGLY
Clint Bowyer: see above.
Those are my nominees for the week. Feel free to come in with yours.

Hasn't Boyer been in quite a few crashes lately? Did you ever wonder why late in the race there is always a caution? Either a mystery one or some one crashes singularly? Ok the super speedways don't count.
I didn't get to see all of the race but Happy looked mighty strong.
well, for the seond straight Cup race, TSN get a 'good' as they didn't cut the minute the chequered flag waved and showed the top 3 being interviewed.
I'd put Jimmie in the 'bad' section....very uncharacteristic for the #48 team on a 1.5 mile track. Chad must be miffed with their performance tonight.
Ugly; NASCAR Victory Lane. They felt the whole race was really good....I'm sorry, but were they even watching the first third or so of it? The bit when there was hardly any passing?
Photogr, he had the best car on the long runs. Unfortunately, the last caution came out with ten laps to go. It took Happy's car a MINIMUM of 15 laps to kick in.
Tez, JJ was strong at the outset, and did lead some laps. That's why I didn't put him in the bad. The broken axle was a freak thing.
Photogr, back to Bowyer. He's been bad for several months now and he's been in more accidents than usual. Had the race gone green, it would have been between JPM and Harvick for the win.
It's because Bowyer got a bad dye job. His hair turned yellow instead of blonde.lol
Wait a minute!
Good: Bobby Labonte and Junyer ran well.
Bad: Joey Logano's tire going down and he hits the wall.
Ugly: Poor Reed got caught up in Kurt's wreck.
Beverly, that's it! The bad dye job caused Bowyer to spin out! LOL! Labonte ran especially well, but that final caution cost him a top 10. Junyer has been running much better since the crew chief change. It's only a matter of time before he and Vicky are reunited.
I can see you could barely think when writing this one Jon because you left all of Penske out of the bad...Slidin Sam, David "I must wreck" Streme and poor "Loose Cannon" Kurt. Ouch! I think he is going to need a new HANS device.
JJ was bad, Carl was bad, Smoke and Gordon were "eh"...just another weird race for most of the lead Chasers, makes me think they are all testing.
Kristen, I was so mad I could barely think straight when writing this. I was mad at ESPN and Clint Bowyer, but for different reasons. I've nicknamed David Stremme, "Pinball." Perhaps Penske's teams used this as a test session. But I think Stremme was auditioning for "Tron 3".
