Former car owner and crew chief, Ray Evernham, said prior to Sunday's season-ending Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway that he hopes to get a series of legal issues resolved in the coming weeks that may pave the way for a return in some capacity with a race team. Evernham has made no secret of his desire to rid himself of his minority stake in RPM, which previously was known as Gillett Evernham Motorsports -- and before that was simply Evernham Motorsports, in which he was founder and majority owner.

Tony Stewart said he has nothing against Dale Earnhardt Jr. despite some not-too-kind characterizations after a wreck in last Sunday's race at Phoenix. "Everybody knows when we are in the heat of the moment, it doesn't matter who it was. I would have said the same thing," Stewart said Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. "It was being upset because we are running for all the points we can get right now and we took a hit in the points last week because of that incident. It didn't matter who it was."
