POWER RANKINGS: Bad Boy Off Road 300 Edition
1. KEVIN HARVICK (95 POINTS, +4)
2. MARTIN TRUEX, JR. (87 POINTS, -1)
3. BRAD KESELOWSKI (71 POINTS, -1)
4. MATT KENSETH (67 POINTS, +5)
5. KYLE BUSCH (52 POINTS, -1)
6. JOEY LOGANO (42 POINTS, -3)
“Logano was lucky to finish where he did after falling a lap down and twice missing out on the Lucky Dog. When he finally did get back on the lead lap, he was really too far back to make any challenge for the lead, but rallied enough to hold onto fifth in the Chase standings.” – McCole
“Surprisingly struggled, but nearly got a top 10 anyway. That will keep him in the championship hunt.” – Gable
7. DENNY HAMLIN (34 POINTS, -1)
8. KURT BUSCH (31 POINTS, Prev. Unranked)
9. CARL EDWARDS (20 POINTS, -1)
CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR
It’s a couple Hendrick Motorsports teammates filling the spots just outside of the top 10 after New Hampshire. For one, a good run at Dover next week should equal advancement in the Chase. For the other, however, cracking “The 10” is about as good as things are going to get.
Chase Elliott (114 Points) – “The goal for this rookie in his first Chase it to survive the first round. So far, so good.” – Bearden
Kasey Kahne (11 Points) – “Where were all these top 10s a month ago when he really needed them?” – Gable
Others receiving votes: Austin Dillon (8), Kyle Larson (6), Alex Bowman (3), Danica Patrick (1)
