NASCAR POWER RANKINGS: Christopher Bell makes a statement with Atlanta’s victory

<!–>

Don’t get an idea after you read this to just because the driver wins in the race means that the driver will jump to the top of the power ranking.

Victory will help and Christopher Bell get there. This is thanks to a strong run in Dayton before turning (admits that his car did not stand so big), except that he made the moves he needed to win on Sunday in Atlanta.

Here’s a strength ladder for this week. And if they look a little different, this is because we now cite them from 10 to the first.

On the edge: Alex Bowman,, Chris Buescher,, Kyle Busch,, Ross Chastain,, John Hunter Nemechek,, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

10. Bubba Wallace (Last week: 10)

Wallace finished fourth in the first phase in Atlanta, the second in the second phase, and then placed ninth in the race. That’s what firm drivers do when they may not have the best car.

9. Tyler Reddick (Lw: 3)

Wallace’s teammate at 23xi Racing, Reddick finished sixth in both stages before settling for a disappointing 19th place. She will ask that this weekend back on a journey in a circle of America.

8. Austin Cindric (LW: 9)

Cindric led 47 rounds in Atlanta and drove a great race before Kyle Larson scored him into the wall. The driver of the pen must be satisfied with the speed, but to see how the victory passes through the fingers was probably devastating.

7. Joey Logano (LW: 8)

Logano led a racing of 83 rounds in Atlanta, because the penny cars were the ones who resided most of the race. He finished 12th.

6. Chase Elliott (LW: 6)

Elliott was collected in the second phase wreck and finished 20th. But the Hendrick driver crossed the 19th in the top 10 in a short opening stage and could be a player if not an accident.

5. Denny Hamlin (LW: 4)

Hamlin finished sixth in Atlanta, which was a solid running for veteran Joe Gibbs Racing. He knew he would not be good at qualifying, but he was distinguished during the race.

4. Kyle Larson (LW: 7)

Finally, on the draft style trail, Larson caused victory. He was third when caution came out. The Hendrick driver will occupy that ending and will now win Cota.

3. Ryan Blaney (Lw: 2)

Blaty finished fourth place, despite the turn with the remaining 25 laps. He is the leader of the serial points after two races, nodding his consistency and ability to earn stage points.

2. William Byron (Last week: 1)

The winner of the Dayton 500 remained enough quarrels to be among the top 10 drivers involved in the wreck of the late races. It was a wreck that many would blame Byron’s teammate from Hendrick Kyle Larson to cause.

1. Christopher Bell (LW: 5)

Bell had difficulty this year he did not have at the beginning of the previous seasons. And now he has a victory to support that momentum.
