Tony Stewart- 2 Wins, 16 Top Tens

Tony Stewart has been the picture of consistency this season. The last time Tony Stewart didn't finish in the top ten (excluding rain out events) was at Talladega where he finished 23rd with a dying motor.

Jimmie Johnson- 3 Wins, 14 Top Tens

Indy is a unique race because the best team of the season usually wins. The "Real Season" hasn't started yet and with his third win of the season Johnson will now start the Chase with 30 bonus points.

Mark Martin- 4 Wins, 10 Top Tens

Mark Martin almost had the perfect weekend but his teammate Jimmie Johnson showed why he is the defending 3-time champion with his clutch performance. More importantly then the win Martin is now stretching his lead over 13th place David Reuitimann.

Jeff Gordon- 1 Win, 14 Top Tens

It was just an off weekend for the 24. I expected more out of Gordon at Indy. He started off mid pack, moved up slowly, and finished a disappointing 9th.

Kurt Busch- 1 Win, 10 Top Tens

Championship teams overcome problems and Kurt Busch just wasn't able to bounce back after an early pit road problem. Track position was key at Indy and Kurt's 40th place starting position didn't help.

Kasey Kahne- 1 Win, 8 Top Tens

Over the last 6 races Kasey Kahne has accumulated the 4th most points. Only Stewart, Johnson, and Gordon have scored more. Expect a good showing out of Kahne at Pocono.

Carl Edwards- 5 Top Fives, 9 Top Tens

I learned something new at Indy about Roush-Fenway Racing. Roush-Fenway selects one team every week and that selected team runs an experimental setup that weekend. At such a prestigious race Carl's setup was only good for a 15th place finish.

Juan Pablo Montoya- 1 Pole, 9 Top Tens

Juan Pablo Montoya had the best car but the late speeding penalty did him in. To bad, I was actually hoping for a win or at least his first top five. It sure would be interesting if he made the Chase without a single top 5.

Denny Hamlin- 6 Top Fives, 8 Top Tens

Denny Hamlin looked good at Indy but mechanical problems once again affected the 11. In fantasy racing people often relate Pocono and Indy to each other. Hamlin looked the same in both races with his car coasting back to the garage.

Brian Vickers- 3 Top Fives, 9 Top Tens

Brain Vickers is quietly making a run towards the Chase. Will he make it? The answer to that question can be found if you were to study the schedule. Quick Answer: It will be really close, but he wall fall just short.

Ryan Newman- 5 Top Fives, 9 Top Tens

Out of all the teams in the Chase Ryan Newman is currently running the worst. The 39 had a good stretch from Talladega through Pocono but other then that there really hasn't been much to say positive about Newman's season.

Greg Biffle- 6 Top Fives, 9 Top Tens

Greg Biffle makes his re-emergence in the Power Rankings with his solid 4th place finish. Greg needs to continue to perform well if this team is going to make the Chase, and if he's going to prove me correct Kyle Busch will miss it.
