Power Rankings

The Favorites

Kevin Harvick (4th selection this year) — He has finished in the top three each of the last four years at Kansas. This is the lock.

Brad Keselowski (3rd selection this year) — He has been in the top 15 each of the last five years here. While there is one top five finish among that time but a strong consistency is good to see. The last four races this season have been along these same lines.

High Risk / High Reward

Kurt Busch (3rd selection this year) — He has top 20 finishes each of the last four years at Kansas. More than this, he has now gone ten consecutive races this season with top 15 finishes.

Clint Bowyer (3rd selection this year) — He has been in the top 20 each of the last three years at Kansas. Beyond his solid record here recently he has been in the top ten in five of his last six races.

The Dark Horse

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (5th selection this year) — He had a rough result last week but he has top 15 finishes each of the last three years at Kansas and he can hopefully reclaim much of his success from earlier this season when he started off with five consecutive top 20 finishes.
