We received a fax from some of your, shall we say, younger colleagues, who suggest you do a 1040, Schedule R, which provides a credit for the elderly. You might want to remind them who is on top of the standings and who is the only driver to finish in the top 15 in all eight races.

Hamlin picked up his third straight top 10 Sunday and for the fifth straight race moved up the points standings (he was 32nd after Week 2). Hamlin can't wait to get back on the road again to Phoenix, where he has finished third in two of the past three races. (That's Abbott's Willie Nelson playing in the background.)

Mr. Johnson, you'll want to familiarize yourself with Form 4136, a credit for federal tax on fuel. We were very pleased with your fuel conservation methods at Phoenix. You might want to let Mr. Martin know about the benefits of fuel conservation, too, the next time you see him. Oh, and Mr. Johnson: The IRS considers your actions Saturday night to be a gamble, so also file Form W-2G for certain gambling winnings.

We notice, Mr. Stewart, your tendency to earn fewer dollars earlier in your work year. That is why you should consider filing Form 8582 for passive activity loss limitations. That said, we would like to commend you for your efforts this year. We see you were seventh, 332 points out of the lead, after eight races in 2007.

In an emergency session, the Martinsville City Council agrees to accept DuPont's $1 million "donation" if it will rename the city Gordonsville after Gordon finishes second for his ninth top five in his last 11 races at Martinsville Speedway. There's only one problem: There's already a Gordonsville, Va.
