NASCAR Power Poll
1. (1) Tony Stewart
Had a very quiet Brickyard, but a quiet day for Stewart just means that he finished third.

2. (2) Jimmie Johnson
Has more wins than the Stewart, but he still trails behind the 14 in points, top-fives and top-10s, which is why he trails Stewart in the Power Poll.

3. (3) Jeff Gordon
Indy win number five is going to have to wait until next year; much as championship number five is going to have to wait until next year.

4. (10) Mark Martin
Came up just short of his first Indianapolis win, but as Martin said post-race, there’s no shame in losing to Superman.

5. (7) Kasey Kahne
Keep an eye on Kahne over the next six races as they could be huge for him with races at Pocono, Michigan, Atlanta, and Richmond all racetracks where he has won at before.

6. (6) Carl Edwards
A bit of a lost weekend for the 99 team, we’ll see over the next month whether Edwards is a pretender or a contender for this year’s championship.

7. (4) Denny Hamlin
Once again, every time you expect this team to finally put it all together and do something special, something happens and this team leaves you scratching your head wondering if they will ever breakthrough.

8. (9) Juan Pablo Montoya
Ranking the costliest speeding tickets of all-time, Montoya’s would have to be number one the list right? I mean, I can’t think of another one that could top it.

9. (5) Kurt Busch
Maybe next year Kurt should consult his Penske teammate Helio Castroneves about how to best run at Indy? Couldn’t hurt after the weekend Busch had.

10. (8) Ryan Newman
This team isn’t at the level they were at in the spring, but there still in great shape to make the Chase, which all things considered, is mighty impressive.
