1)
Carl Edwards (Previous position: 1
st) - Carl did what
he had to do to stay on top of my fantasy rankings by bumping Kyle Busch out of
the lead to win the race at Bristol.
2) Kyle Busch (Previous position: 2nd) - Finishing second
at Bristol keeps this driver in second place in these rankings. He led
over 400 laps at this track which is a massive feat to do.
3) Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Previous position: 5th) - With other drivers stinking up the
joint this driver moves back up to 3rd place in the rankings.
He finished 18th at Bristol, but could not get the caution flag to
come out at the right time for him.
4) Matt Kenseth (Previous position: 7th) - Finishing
with a top ten finish helps this driver move up to 4th place in my
rankings. He battled back from going a lap down to get his high end
finish.
5) Kevin Harvick (Previous position: 9th) - A top
five finish helps this driver move up four spots in my rankings. He did
not move up in the Sprint Cup standings, but certainly helped himself in
getting into the chase.
6) Jimmie Johnson (Previous position: 3rd) - Tire
problems this week though ended up ruining his day. He finished 33rd
on the day and dropped one spot in the Sprint Cup standings.
7) Jeff Burton (Previous position: 4th) - Getting involved
in a wreck around lap 200 killed a quality finish for this driver. He
still if fifth place in the Sprint Cup points and is a solid driver to make the
chase.
8) David Ragan (Previous position: 10th) - Ragan moves
up to eighth place in the rankings. He had to start in the back due to a
crash only to claw his way all the up to a tenth place finish. He is
still just outside the chase though.
9) Clint Bowyer (Previous position: N/A) - Bowyer moves back onto
the list in ninth after getting back into the chase in the last spot. He
is not really hot, but a bunch of drivers on this list stunk it up this week.
10) Martin Truex Jr. (Previous position: 6th) - Truex Jr.
is having as tire blow at lap 97 killed his day at Bristol and killed his spot
in my rankings.
