Our friends at www.racing-reference.com have moved to www.racing-reference.info. I have no idea why you'd drop a .com for a .info - maybe it's like running half a groove higher at Michigan or something. But make a note of it - that's one great site.
In any case, I was wandering around over there looking for some stats on our Sunday Interview candidate, Jeff Burton. Can you believe it's been five years since he won a Cup race? The last time he was in victory lane was Oct. 2001 at Phoenix. As Dustin Long points out, only Greg Biffle has more points than Burton over the past 10 races. no driver has scored more points than Burton over the past 10 races. (Burton scored 1,464, thanks to 8 top-10 finishes; Biffle had 1,434 points. Jimmie Johnson got 1,418 points).
12:45 p.m. update: I corrected the last-10-race point totals above. Dustin gave me those numbers before Pocono and I forgot to update them.
