Each week, BeyondTheFlag.com will bring you the Power Rankings heading into the upcoming event on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Schedule. The results will be derived from both season-to-date performance as well as the finish order from the most recent event. Be sure to check back each week to see if your favorite driver made the list, and to let us know if you agree or disagree!
The series now heads to the high-banked Monster Mile in Dover, DE for final race in the Challenger round of the 2015 Chase. Drivers on the outside looking in right now are Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Paul Menard and Kyle Busch. Kevin Harvick is essentially in a must-win situation, but he’s delivered when in that position before. Will he do so again? Jimmie Johnson (surprise) won here back in June, and has to be among the favorites again.
