I'm still giggling about Carl Edwards post race punt on Kyle. Everyone cheered that
That stealth thing worked alittle too well on the Knight Rider car as it was hard to make out from the other black cars there.

Well, I think that was poor sportsmanship on the part of both Carl and Kyle. Unless they weren't really foes and were just showing off. Kinda funny though, I admit.
As for the black cars, there was 07, 01, 26 and 28. I had a time of it trying to figure out which was 26 and which was 28 because the feed I was watching was on NASCAR.com and in IE (Firefox 3 didn't work too well with it) it didn't load any other controls so I couldn't get a high quality feed or enlarge the small video area. I was lucky to get what grabs I could. I started watching later in the race (not quite half-way point) so I did miss some of it.

scott - I agree Kyle deserved it. But still... LOL! Oh well, he did get PWND on that one! LOL!
sarfraz - Nice photos! I found more here:

I've also got some more news. I went to the NASCAR store up the street from me and found out that this KR car #28 is a one-shot deal (as you can see by the photos link I just gave). So there won't be any Knight Rider cars in future races it looks like. At least not for the rest this season that I am aware of.
Also, I gave my name and phone #s so the store owner can call me back **IF** they release and make available a diecast car (I think around 1:25) of the #28 Knight Rider car! She called her distributors and they haven't heard a thing yet. But if they do release it, she said they retail for around $74.99. I'll keep folks posted on that one, if it comes to pass. There's no indication either way at this point that it will or won't.

You never know with those 1/24 scale NASCAR models. They always make one-off paint schemes. I have JPM's Mexico winning car from earlier in the thread. He only drove it once! I've seen other drivers one off paint schemes aswell so its not totally unrealistic.
