Suite 16 NASCAR Rankings after the Bank Of America 500 at Lowe's

Oct 16, 2006 Jeremy Dunn

Each week, Suite 101 ranks the top 16 NASCAR Nextel Cup drivers based on results and performance.

  1. (1) 31-Jeff Burton: Dale Earnhardt Jr referred to Jeff Burton as the ‘Ice Man’ completely disregarding the fact that Terry Labonte already has that nickname.
  2. (2) 17-Matt Kenseth: In light of the recent rumors that Jack Roush may be selling part of his team to the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees are thinking about partnering up with Hendrick Motorsports.
  3. (3) 29-Kevin Harvick: It’s possible that Kevin Harvick could win the Busch Series title by over 1,000 points.
  4. (7) 8-Dale Earnhardt Jr: I wonder if Earnhardt Jr plans to bump draft Jeff Gordon this weekend at Martinsville.
  5. (8) 48-Jimmie Johnson: Between Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne, they own the previous six victories at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
  6. (4) 11-Denny Hamlin: Denny Hamlin needs a good run, and he may just get it at Martinsville.
  7. (5) 6-Mark Martin: Mark Martin is giving David Ragan lessons in pessimism.
  8. (10) 9-Kasey Kahne: No other Dodge team is even remotely close to them performance-wise, not even the #10 and #19.
  9. (9) 5-Kyle Busch: Great recovery after getting caught speeding on pit road during green flag pit stops.
  10. (6) 24-Jeff Gordon: Jeff Gordon is getting all too comfortable with giving interviews before the race’s conclusion.
  11. (11) 20-Tony Stewart: Other than his win at Kansas, Tony Stewart has practically vanished from the limelight.
  12. (12) 99-Carl Edwards: Edwards has quietly posted four consecutive top ten finishes.
  13. (14) 25-Brian Vickers: Hendrick Motorsports now has four of the five most reviled drivers in NASCAR.
  14. (13) 2-Kurt Busch: If the rumors are true, and Penske Racing is planning to switch to Toyota Camry’s in 2007, that will just give old school fans another reason to hate Kurt Busch.
  15. (14) 16-Greg Biffle: The latest rumor has Jack Roush donating Greg Biffle to Robert Yates Racing.
16. (NR) 43-Bobby Labonte: Even driving for the Petty’s, Bobby Labonte runs well at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
