Jeff Gordon (walking up to the 78 car): "Hey, Kurt, did you catch the pre-race today?"
Kurt Busch (taking off helmet as he exits his car): "No, why?"

JG: "It was really weird. Brad Daugherty had this giant novelty fork on the air for about five minutes."
KB: "Wait--what?"
JG: "Yeah, he had it for that dumb 'Stick a Fork In 'Em' thing they do, but they he wouldn't put it away."
KB: "What the heck can you do with a giant novelty fork once the segment's over?"
JG: "Well, he kept pointing it at the camera, then he pretended to hit Ray Evernham with it. And he kept 'strumming' it like a guitar for some reason."
KB: "Jeez. I mean, I know that ESPN's losing the rights to the sport after 2014, but they might want to reconsider how they produce their pre-races if THAT'S what happened."
JG: "Yeah, and now I can't stop thinking about the giant fork. Like, where'd they get it from? Did Brad get it himself, or did someone in production get it for him? And how'd they get it out here to Kansas--I mean, how do you take one of those on a plane?"
KB: "Good questions, Jeff. I'll be sure to blame the media in my post-race interview."
