3/3/2008 On to the Atlanta Motor Speedway where the COT will be hitting top speed. The teams will be heading back across the country to arguably the fastest track on the circuit. Here is how we see the Sprint Cup racers running this weekend.
The RacingNation.com Power Rankings tells you who we think will be burning up the track. Feel free to let us know your thoughts, send us an email.
RacingNation.com Power Rankings Carl Edwards Keep practicing those back flips, Carl. Kyle Busch Once this team gets in sync, there will be no stopping them. Matt Kenseth There is that Kenseth luck again, look for a rebound and strong finish at Atlanta. Greg Biffle Biffle was not happy with a third place finish in Sin City and that could spell trouble for the rest of the field. Jimmie Johnson Being completely lost in Las Vegas should be an anomaly. Dont expect that to happen again any time soon. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Look for another run like in Vegas. Junior will contend for the win at Atlanta. Tony Stewart Two hard hits in one weekend definitely rattled Stewart. He may have been knocked down, but dont count him out. Jeff Gordon Another driver who had a hard hit in Vegas. Gordon ran at the front all day and the same can be expected this week. Kasey Kahne – Kasey is back. It may be crowded at the front in Atlanta. Jeff Burton Burton is starting off a typical quiet but solid season. Atlanta will be no different. Denny Hamlin Hamlin spent the entire Las Vegas race climbing towards his eventual top ten finish. This team is due to break out with a dominant performance. Kevin Harvick RCR has always run well at Atlanta and Harvick should continue his top ten finish streak this weekend. Elliott Sadler Elliott has shown signs of a return to respectability just as his teammate, Kasey Kahne has. David Ragan Returning home after a top 10 finish at Las Vegas… can the fortune continue? Brian Vickers Vickers still needs to qualify for the race but. If hes in hell be fast. Last Weeks List And Las Vegas Result Jimmie Johnson – 29th Kyle Busch – 11th Matt Kenseth – 20th Tony Stewart – 43rd Carl Edwards – 1st Jeff Gordon – 35th Ryan Newman – 14th Denny Hamlin – 9th Kasey Kahne – 6th Greg Biffle – 3rd Martin Truex Jr. – 15th Brian Vickers – 24th Dale Earnhardt Jr – 2nd Jeff Burton – 5th Jamie McMurray – 25th
