NASCAR Team Power Rankings: Furniture Row Racing back on top
By Asher Fair
Which of the four teams represented in the Championship 4 look the best as the final race of the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series season approaches?
The 35th of 36 races of the 2017 NASCAR Cup Series season, the ninth of 10 playoff races of the season and the third and final race of the Round of 8, the Cam-Am 500 at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, set the stage for what is sure to be an exciting Championship 4 battle next week.
The Can-Am 500 is officially in the books, and the four Championship 4 drivers will be Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski. The championship finale will take place next week at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida, where the 2017 Cup Series champion will be crowned.
Which teams rank where in these rankings following Matt Kenseth and Joe Gibbs Racing’s victory at Phoenix in the first playoff race of the season won by a driver who had already been mathematically eliminated from championship contention?
