1.	Jeff Gordon	Is this getting boring yet? His only competition is his teammate. Jeff, you're good, we get it, now can you give someone else a chance?
2.	Jimmie Johnson	Thankfully Jimmie is tearing it up, too, otherwise this Chase would be over quicker than a Pam Anderson marriage.
3.	Clint Bowyer	Can we officially put to bed any doubts about Bowyer? He just clicked off another top-10 finish at a track he'd never been good at before.
4.	Kyle Busch	Two bad breaks are the difference between Shrub playing out the Chase and Shrub contending for the title.
5.	Tony Stewart	Every time we point out that Smoke is mad at someone, Smoke fans get mad that we point it out. Is their a correlation there?
6.	Carl Edwards	The second-best battle in the Chase is for fourth place. Carl and Shrub have some work to do to catch Smoke.
7.	Denny Hamlin	We kept Denny in Power Rankings on reputation alone – and he delivered.
8.	Kasey Kahne	Have you noticed there are more commercials with Kasey than there are of Dale Earnhardt Jr.?
9.	Ryan Newman	A few weeks ago, it was tough to remember when Newman wasn't contending for the win; now, it's hard to recall when he wasn't.
10.	Kurt Busch	Ironically, while Kurt's performance has been slipping (albeit, not necessarily of his own doing), his teammate (Newman) has been coming on strong.
