Suite16 Rankings- Martinsville
Suite 16 NASCAR Rankings after the Subway 500 at Martinsville
Oct 25, 2006
Each week, Suite 101 ranks the top 16 NASCAR Nextel Cup drivers based on results and performance.
- (2) 17-Matt Kenseth: It’s now Kenseth’s championship to lose.
- (5) 48-Jimmie Johnson: If Johnson comes back to win the Nextel Cup championship, it’s just simply meant to be.
- (1) 31-Jeff Burton: At least if Jeff Burton would have wrecked, the car could have been repairable. But no, he had to go and blow an engine.
- (3) 29-Kevin Harvick: Harvick has lost some impetus since his win at New Hampshire in September.
- (6) 11-Denny Hamlin: For some reason, I believe if Hamlin would have bumped Jimmie Johnson out of the way for the win at Martinsville, it would have been a popular win.
- (4) 8-Dale Earnhardt Jr: Earnhardt Jr and the 8 team need a win at Atlanta.
- (8) 9-Kasey Kahne: Kahne survived Martinsville, now on to another 1.5 miler.
- (7) 6-Mark Martin: I just don’t think a championship is in the cards for Mark Martin.
- (10) 24-Jeff Gordon: Drive for Five in 2007.
- (9) 5-Kyle Busch: Kyle Busch has never really been able to get going since the Nextel Cup Chase for the Championship began.
- (11) 20-Tony Stewart: Stewart will be among the favorites heading into the race at Atlanta.
- (12) 99-Carl Edwards: So far, Atlanta has been Edwards’ best track since joining the Nextel Cup circuit in 2004.
- (16) 43-Bobby Labonte: There was a time in the mid and late 1990’s when Bobby Labonte owned Atlanta Motor Speedway.
- (14) 2-Kurt Busch: Not many drivers have had as bad luck as Kurt Busch in 2006.
- (13) 25-Brian Vickers: Vickers will be teamed up with former Champ Car driver A.J. Allmendinger at Red Bull Racing next season.
- (15) 16-Greg Biffle: Just four more races for Biffle to end this wretched season.
