No. 4 – Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch

This is the part of the rankings where things will start to get interesting. The top-four teams on this list are head and shoulders above the bottom four, but there isn’t a lot of space between themselves.

The team of Harvick and Busch is a team with a pair of championships between them. If not for the move to Ford, this duo might have ended up higher on the ranking. The shift to Ford puts a bit of uneasiness in front of the team at the start of the season. There are sure to be some growing pains this season but there is no telling if it will impact the on-track performance.

If the question of struggles with Ford wasn’t in the air, this duo would be a couple of spots higher on this ranking. Nevertheless, it’s hard to go wrong with a pair of drivers that have won races consistently over the past few season.
