Each week, BeyondTheFlag.com will bring you the NASCAR 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 teams now go from the longest, fastest track on the schedule to the shortest and slowest – Martinsville Speedway. Denny Hamlin won there in the spring, but Hendrick Motorsports’ drivers fare particularly well there. Right now, there’s an 8-way tie for first place. Calculated aggressiveness will win the day.
New (or returning) to the list this week: 78
