The Week 23 NASCAR Power Rankings after Kyle Larson's win at MIS.


Pit Road Power Rankings: Week 23 (Week 22)
  1. Martin Truex Jr (LW-1)- Great car, great run, and he added to his playoff points with a stage win. They only thing that got away was the win.
  2. Kyle Busch (LW-2)- Boy, pitting while pit lane was closed was huge, but he and the 18 team bounced back.
  3. Brad Keselowski (LW-4)- BK had a great car early, then got stuck in traffic and wasn't the same. A poor late restart cost him a quality finish.
  4. Chase Elliott (LW-8)- Another strong day by Elliott, but still no win. He really needs to be in better position late in the race.
  5. Denny Hamlin (LW-3)- A forgetful day, moving onto Bristol.
  6. Kyle Larson (LW-11)- What. A. Move. 
  7. Kevin Harvick (LW-7)- 14th and now 13th at MIS this year, luckily we don't go back a third time.
  8. Matt Kenseth (LW-5)- A strong run all day long was ruined late in the race when MK had a tire go down and he limped it to the finish.
  9. Erik Jones (LW-10)- Man was Erik fast on Sunday or what? If we raced MIS one more time this year he could contend for a win here.
  10. Daniel Suarez (LW-6)- Suarez wrecked with Kahne, but not long before that was battling BK for the lead, great showing despite the wreck.
  11. Jamie McMurray (LW-NR)- The 9th place finish hopefully gets him back on track.
  12. Chris Buescher (LW-NR)- I think Chris might be getting overlooked here. He has two top tens in his last four and three finishes of 11th or better in that same time. He now has a career high three top tens in a season, and we still have races to go.
Dropped Out: Clint Bowyer (LW-9) and Jimmie Johnson (LW-12)
Just Missed: Trevor Bayne
