The RacingNation.com Power Rankings tell you who we think is burning up the track heading to the paperclip track of Martinsville. Feel free to let us know your thoughts, send us an email.
RacingNation.com Power Rankings Jeff Gordon Two in a row and five to go. Gordon is clearly on top. Clint Bowyer Bowyer is hanging in there but needs a win. Jimmie Johnson A spin and no win in Johnsonville. Up next, tick off the 24 again at the paperclip. Tony Stewart Without a Hendrick stumble, all the top tens in the world are not going to help. Carl Edwards Let’s see if the Roush COT program is still on track. Kyle Busch Just don’t take out your teammates… Should a driver really need to be told that? Kurt Busch If it wasn’t for that early struggle in the Chase…and then again at Lowes. Denny Hamlin It’s a flat track for Denny and pretty much his last chance to make a run at the Championship. Jeff Burton Nice run but way too late for a run at the Championship. Martin Truex Jr. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Kevin Harvick At least he can take comfort that he is not Matt Kenseth. Matt Kenseth Another run bites the dust. Time to start thinking about the 2008 Championship run. Ryan Newman Victory Lane was in sight and then Ryan did his impression of Kasey Kahne. At least he has his poles. Bobby Labonte Could the return to Victory Lane come at Martinsville? Michael Waltrip First the fun with a Talladega Pole, then a top 10 at Charlotte, Waltrip is on a roll.
