2016 Pit Road Week 28: Loudon

Weekly Review and Power Rankings

NHMS

By Richard Tix

As you may know from this weekends race preview (Week 29 race preview here), I have been a busy guy. In that time I have missed a bunch of content that I normally like to have out weekly. In that spirit, I want to make sure I get to the Power Rankings. However, they will be striped down this weekend to save a bit of time so I can catch up on everything else!

A review of the Chase Power Ranking Rules:

For the first three races we will have 16 drivers ranked and they will all come from the Chase field. Once NASCAR cuts the field to 12 so will Behind the Wall (again, all Chase drivers). Once we cut to 8 drivers I will still rank the top 12, but the top 8 will be only drivers left in the Chase and the remaining four can be anyone (previous Chase drivers OR someone who was never in the Chase). This type format will continue all the way down to the final (so in the end the Champion will be number one and the other eleven can be anyone in the Sprint Cup.
