BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

He gets his way of staying in the sport a lot longer than him just being able to retire and step out ... He'll have a team that he can have ownership of when he's old and in his 70's and 80's and still being Tony Stewart. The fun part about all of that is that he gets to enjoy what he loves to do most, and that's racing. And he's still going to be a part of Sprint Cup racing for a long time. 
Considering what Kyle Busch [eight wins] and Carl Edwards [six at the time] have done this year I would have hated to have 30 points
Frankly, if you take Kyle Busch out of the equation, our success ratio is just about where everybody would have thought it should have been: win a couple of races, have a shot in more and, hopefully, two or three guys in the Chase ... Not to take anything away from any of our drivers or any of our teams — certainly not taking anything away from Tony or Denny, they’re great drivers and everybody has great futures — but Kyle has had an extraordinary year.
I'm glad that we won the race so that we can go into the offseason knowing that we won more races than anyone else in this series ... I think that's a big accomplishment, especially considering how well Jimmie and Kyle [Busch, an eight-race winner] ran all season. So that feels good. And knowing how well we ran it gives me a lot of confidence for next season.
