Kind of funny that Jr.'s crew chief isn't going to win and popularity contests around here, but apparently he knows something the other HMS crew chiefs haven't figured out yet. My guess is JG and JJ will catch up eventually. Not so sure about Casey Mears.

Yeah, I have a feeling that will end in the next week or two though.

Dale Junior is moving up this list each and every week, it seems! Put him in great equipment and he'll show that he can be very competitive as this shows.

What also has me impressed is that all four car manufacturers are represented in the top-12 and not only Vickers but Kurt Busch doing as great as he is considering he has had to qualify with the "GOGH" (go or go home) group every week and if he uses his provisional, he starts from the tail end of the pack! Kurt Busch has really impressed me!

no matter what one may think of him as a person, he's a great driver. he wouldn't have won the Cup championship otherwise - there's just too many good-great drivers out there not to be.

They are posted now. Not a big deal (just 3 points), but I thought I would point that out though.

you're right, 3 points ain't a big deal...that's one position except for top 4.

I saw those rankings on Nascar.com earlier too (they weren't on the ball this morning), but everything else was saying otherwise. Don't worry though, it doesn't really make much difference.

I have to say that gives me a good laugh every time I look at the standings and no JJ or JG there.

No JJ or JG in the top 12 but when was the last time you saw a driver go from HERO to (almost) ZERO in ONE WEEK?!?

At the end of the Vegas race last week, CARL EDWARDS was atop the standings, looking down at everyone. Then the "oil tank cover-gate" thing happened and after NASCAR chopped his points, he fell to mid-pack and ended last week in 7th or 8th place. Not bad, still in the chase bracket...

Then came Atlanta yesterday and right about the time the #99 car was headed out to lap the field, it all went south and the engine let go... Too bad they could not put "Speedy Dry" on Carl's standing like they did on the track after he dropped all that oil!

If you glance at the current standings as of week 4, Mr. Edwards is not only OUT of the chase bracket, he's all the way in 17th place! Carl Edwards went from 1st place to 17th place in the span of about six or seven days! Mamma mia!!!
