NASCAR: Sprint Cup Pre-Season Power Rankings
By Mike Hutton
Honorable Mentions: Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott
It will be fun to watch these two battle each other for Rookie-Of-The-Year honors this year. Blaney brings poise and a Penske-affiliated Wood Brothers Racing back to full-time competition and Elliott brings a legendary pedigree and Hendrick Motorsports’ resources. These two alone are going to be worth the price of admission more than once this year.
NASCAR.com’s Kathy Sheldon recently remarked:
"The combined power of Ford, Penske and Wood Brothers can compete with a Hendrick Motorsports superstar on the rise. It’s pretty exciting to think we’re witnessing the birth of the next generation of Sprint Cup heavyweights."
