No. 8 – Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Trevor Bayne

Kicking off this ranking is a duo with a lot of promise that seems to be trending in the right direction. Now that Greg Biffle is out the door at Roush Fenway Racing, all of the focus will fall on these two young drivers.

The good news for these two drivers is that the end of the 2016 season was a lot better than the start of it. By the end of 2016 both drivers had developed consistency when it came to qualifying and they were starting to see better finishes as a result.

Unfortunately, neither of these drivers have accomplished much in the Cup Series and that’s why they land at the bottom of this list.
