Christopher Bell is back on top of the power rankings after Austin Dillon's controversial win in Richmond. Here’s our top-10 after the Cook Out 400.
Austin Dillon, who entered Sunday’s race in Richmond way back in 32nd in the standings, pulled off a miraculous upset to lock himself into the playoffs.The driver of the famed No. 3 was cruising to victory before a late caution. Then, on the overtime restart, he appeared to intentionally crash Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin out of the way to score his fifth career win.What has ensued is a debate across the NASCAR world, wondering whether or not Dillon should be penalized for his moves.
Next up is a trip to the Irish Hills for the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. How does the field stack up after Richmond? Here’s our latest NASCAR power rankings: If it weren’t for a speeding penalty, Bell’s sixth-place finish likely would’ve been better. He led 122 laps and scored 19 stage points, most of all drivers. Bell has performed well at short flat tracks all season , and Sunday’s performance at Richmond was more evidence that he’ll be a threat at Phoenix if he’s in the Championship 4.Was this the quietest race of the season for Larson? He finished seventh, had no stage points and was just OK for the entire race.
Joey Logano called out Austin Dillon for wrecking him and Denny Hamlin on the final lap to win at Richmond.The summer has not been kind to Keselowski. He was 16th at Richmond, giving him five finishes outside the top-15 in the last six races. The Michigan native would love to turn things around at his hometrack, where he has eight top-fives but has never won in 26 career starts.
