Jeff Meyer · Wednesday April 2, 2008
10. Jeff Burton called Michael McDowell and invited him to dinner.

7. Travis Kvapil opens a envelope that says “You May Already Be a Winner” on the front with high anticipation.

4. Martin Truex, Jr. calls Little E bragging about a new contract he just signed with Teresa that gives him 51% of DEI.
3. Ingrid calls Jeff from the offices of Brooke's lawyer, knowing it will come up on the caller ID, just to ask him how his day is going.
2. Brian France calls Shane Hmiel (who?) and tells him the sanctioning body is willing to give him one more chance.
