No. 3 – Kyle Larson

Kyle Larson is high on this week’s power ranking for a couple of reasons.

The first being that he has lit the NASCAR world on fire since winning his first race in Michigan. Larson followed that win up with a 3rd-place finish at Darlington and a 2nd-place finish last weekend in Richmond. Larson is running the best currently that he has ever run in his NASCAR career.

The other reason for the high ranking is his success at Chicagoland. In two starts he has a top-five finish and an average finishing position of 5th. Look for Larson to have a solid run this weekend and contend for the win.
