Dave Blaney received a new distinction after yesterday's race Talladega ... that of a closer.

Blaney, who started 2nd but had fallen back by the end of the race, was one of three drivers who dramatically improved their positions over the last 19 laps of the UAW-Ford 500.

• Denny Hamlin closed 17 places, from 21st to 4th;
• Jimmie Johnson closed 14 places, from 16th to 2nd;
• Casey Mears closed 12 places, from 18th to 6th;
• Clint Bowyer closed 11 places, from 22nd to 11th;
• Dave Blaney closed 10 places, from 13th to 3rd.

Blaney's finish--and Ken Schrader's misfortune--put the #22 back in the coveted 35th spot in owner points.

Well whaddaya know ... Victory Junction Gang Camp might get some money out of me yet.
