BRISTOL,โ€Œ TN – Chase Briscoe’s strong performance at Bristol Motor โ€Speedway, despite finishing โ€ninth,โข has propelled him to the top spot in this week’s NASCAR driver power rankings. While William Byron and Kyle Larson still hold the top positions in theโข official playoff standings thanks to โคaccumulated bonus โ€points, a shift in focus to recent performance elevates Briscoe to No. 1. This comes as Joeโค Gibbs Racingโข continues โคto demonstrate consistent strength, with multiple drivers positioned for a deep โคplayoff run.

Though, this ranking system rewards past success. This assessment prioritizes current form,recognizing the rapidly evolving dynamics of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.

Here’s a look at the latest power rankings:

1.chase Briscoe: Led 127 laps at Bristol beforeโค finishing ninth. This performance solidifies his status as a top contender.

2.Ryan Blaney: Maintaining consistent speed, but may need to increase pace to stay ahead.

3. Denny Hamlin: Relying on the continued success of the Joe Gibbs Racing team.

4. Christopher Bell: Also benefiting from the strength of Joe โฃGibbs Racing.

5. Bubba Wallace: Experiencing โ€a recent โ€‹slump with three subpar finishes in the last five โฃstarts, but has shown resilience thisโฃ season.

6. Joey Logano: Showingโ€‹ signs of improvement with consecutive fifth-place finishes.

7. Chris Buescher: Currently the highest-ranked โฃdriver outside theโข top contenders.

8. William Byron: โ€Œ A key โคfactor in Hendrick Motorsports’ struggles through the Round of 16.

9. Chase Elliott: Also contributingโ€ to hendrick’s underwhelming performance as the playoffs progress.

10. Kyle Larson: Struggling with โ€‹consistency, recording only two sixth-place finishes in his last seven starts.
