USA Today Sports

The FedEx 400 from Dover is behind us and the Sprint Cup series now moves to the first of two stops at Pocono Raceway. With this come the Power Rankings for the Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400.

Has anyone else noticed that the resurgence of Joe Gibbs’ Racing seemed to coincide with Kyle Busch’s return to competition? Will they be able to close the deal this week? All four drivers practiced, qualified and ran very well at Dover, only to each have disappointing finishes.
