RacingNation.com Power Rankings Jimmie Johnson Heading into Texas with momentum Jimmie is looking to knock his boss fromt the top of the standings. Jeff Gordon 0 for 13 at Texas, Gordon would like to put a checkmark at Texas as a track he has won at. Clint Bowyer Showing the fight of a Hendrick driver, Clint is hanging by a thread. Carl Edwards Watch out Texas. The cookie-cutter contender is coming. Kyle Busch “I’m crabby and going to wreck my car.” If Kyle ever matures, he might be a great driver. Tony Stewart This is not the Chase Tony was looking for and Atlanta was not the race he was looking for. Matt Kenseth Matt is on a roll right now, too late for the Chase but a good way to finish the season. Jeff Burton A solid top five and up next, a track Burton wins at. Things are looking up. Martin Truex Jr. Texas will be a good place to get a finish that matches the solid runs that Martin has had. Kurt Busch Should be another top ten in the books after Texas. Denny Hamlin Atlanta sums up the Chase for Hamlin, ran out of gas. Kevin Harvick Not a horrible run at Atlanta provides a little bit of hope for Texas. Casey Mears Challenging for 13th and with Earnhardt Jr’s luck recently, Casey make take the spot. Kasey Kahne 6 top 10’s in the last ten races. Look for another top 10 at the Lonestar track. Bobby Labonte Ok, this is it Could the return to Victory Lane come at Texas?
