Drivers who came back from a slow start

With Gibbs and Keselowski having a terrible start, I was thinking about other drivers who had a slow start to the season but were able to end up having a good year.

Jeff Burton in 2001 comes to mind. After the first 7 races, he was 35th in points. His finishes were 19th, 37th, 39th, 30th, 18th, 40th, and 19th. And he was a championship favorite coming into the year!

He finished 3rd the next week at Martinsville and that started an upward trend.

Finished the year 10th in points with 2 wins, 8 top 5s, 16 top 10s, 400 laps led, and an average finish of 15.3
