Pete Pistone will unveil Power Rankings each week of the NASCAR season. Check out this week’s edition of the NASCAR Power Rankings below, and listen to SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90) on the SiriusXM app and web player now.
1. RYAN BLANEY
A second place performance in a photo finish at Atlanta kept the defending champion out of Victory Lane for the first time this season. But it has been a very solid start to the year for the Team Penske driver.
1. KYLE BUSCH
The Richard Childress Racing fought back from adversity to finish 12th at Daytona and followed that up with another very good outing at Atlanta Motor Speedway where he came up just short of winning in the race’s three-wide finish.
1. WILLIAM BYRON
The Daytona 500 winner didn’t have the best follow-up to “The Great American Race” at Atlanta in a day that included a pit road incident with Michael McDowell and ended with a 17th place finish.
1. BUBBA WALLACE
The only driver to finish in the top five in the first two races and Wallace followed his Daytona 500 performance with another impressive super speedway outing in Atlanta.
1. JOEY LOGANO
He has been one of the strongest drivers over the opening two races of the season leading laps and powering to the front. However Logano doesn’t have much to show for it after a pair of crashes and now potential a penalty for modifying one of his racing gloves.
1. DENNY HAMLIN
Yes he finished 23rd in Atlanta but Hamlin continually came back from adversity including accidents to actually lead 15 laps on Sunday. But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has to find a way to take strong cars to the finish.
1. ROSS CHASTAIN
A pit road speeding penalty, one of many drivers that were pegged by NASCAR, forced Chastain into catch-up mode in Atlanta. He did to the tune of a seventh place finish.
1. AUSTIN CINDRIC
The No. 2 ride out of Team Penske has been pretty sporty in the opening two races of the season with Cindric right in the mix at Daytona and Atlanta.He’s led 45 laps this year with a top-five finish in the mix.
1. DANIEL SUAREZ
Maybe an unlikely winner for some in Atlanta but for Trackhouse Racing it was a result of the team having faith in Suarez after a disappointing 2023 season. His win on Sunday for now has him in the Playoffs and sets the table to build more as the regular season wears on.
1. KYLE LARSON
He said he had fun at Atlanta despite crashing and finishing 32nd. But Larson did lead 17 laps and after leaving Daytona with an 11th place finish, the Hendrick Motorsports driver has to feel better about super speedway racing than in recent years.

2024 Preseason NASCAR Cup Series Power Rankings | SiriusXM
Pete Pistone will unveil Power Rankings each week of the NASCAR season. Check out this week’s edition of the NASCAR Power Rankings below, and listen to SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90) on the SiriusXM app and web player now.
1. RYAN BLANEY
Last year’s champion comes into 2024 as the driver to beat as Team Penske shoots for its third consecutive Cup Series title. Blaney has an excellent chance at getting his season of defense off on the right foot by winning the Daytona 500 but it’s been 25 years since the defending Cup champ has won the next year’s “Great American Race,” dating back to Dale Jarrett in 2000.
1. KYLE LARSON
The DNFs that plagued Larson last season is all the former champion has to safeguard against to be in the hunt for a second career Cup crown. Larson was otherwise strong all last season and there isn’t any reason to think the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team won’t be in the thick of the title fight again in 2024.
1. WILLIAM BYRON
The driver that led the series with six wins a year ago in what most consider his breakout season is poised to take the next step in his career and challenge for the championship. The experience of going through the Playoffs as he did a year ago will be a benefit as Byron aims for his first Cup crown.
1. DENNY HAMLIN
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver enters his 19^th Cup season still searching for that elusive first career championship. Nothing appears to be different from a team that was so strong a year ago despite missing the Championship Four for a second straight year and Hamlin will be a player in 2024.
1. CHRISTOPHER BELL
The No. 20 Joe Gibbs racing driver has found his way to the Championship Four in two straight seasons but came up short both times of a first Cup crown. There’s good reason to believe Bell can exceed his season career high in wins of three in 2024.
1. CHRIS BUESCHER
A three-time winner in 2024, Buescher has led the resurgence at Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. He could be in for a solid “Speedweeks” to kick off the year considering his Daytona record a year ago that included winning a Duel race, leading the Daytona 500 for 32 laps and winning the summer race at “The World Center of Racing.”
1. MARTIN TRUEX JR.
It was truly a tale of two seasons last year for Truex Jr. After winning the regular season championship the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing team suffered through a miserable Playoff run that without his points status built-up would have ended much sooner. Is there more left in the veteran’s tank in 2024? We’ll find out soon enough.
1. TYLER REDDICK
A pair of wins in his first season with 23XI solidified Reddick as one of the sport’s elite drivers. He’ll need to kick the performance up a notch to be in the championship picture this year and once in the Playoffs stick around longer to be a player to make the Championship Four.
1. ROSS CHASTAIN
The way Chastain ended the 2023 campaign is what Trackhouse Racing needs more of in 2024. Chastain won the season finale at Pheonix and the hope is that momentum as well as a return to the more competitive cars he had at his disposal during the Playoff portion of the schedule will put Chastain back into title conversation.
1. BUBBA WALLACE
He went winless last season but still made the Playoffs to give 23XI two drivers in the championship run. Wallace will need to win this year and should be able to do so. That and ensuring there are more consistent finishes along the way is the recipe Wallace needs for a return trip to the Playoffs.

SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s Power Rankings – October 25, 2023 | SiriusXM

Pete Pistone will unveil Power Rankings each week of the NASCAR season. Check out this week’s edition of NASCAR Power Rankings below, and listen to SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90) on the SiriusXM App and web player now.

Read all of Pete Pistone’s previous Power Rankings here

The Round of 8 of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs moved to Homestead-Miami Speedway. Here’s a look at the “Power Rankings” after Sunday’s 4EVER 400:

1. Christopher Bell

Move over Reggie Jackson, Bell is the new “Mr. October.” He’s back in the Championship 4 for the second consecutive season after pulling off a victory at Homestead on the heels of finishing second the week before to open the Round of 8 at Las Vegas.

Playoff Ranking: T-1st
Last Week: 4th

2. Kyle Larson

Dominated Homestead and in front for 96 laps until disaster struck when he crashed into the sand barrels at the head of pit road and was credited with a 34th place finish. But Larson already is locked into the Championship 4 despite his 8th DNF of the season.

Playoff Ranking: T-1st
Last Week: 1st

3. William Byron

A consistent outing for Byron at Homestead that saw the Hendrick Motorsports driver finish fourth, score 16 stage points and build a cushion of 30 points from the Playoff cutline.

Playoff Ranking: 3rd
Last Week: 2nd

4. Denny Hamlin

Here we go again. The wheels of Hamlin’s title hopes are nearly all the way off after a broken part eliminated him Sunday at Homestead after 236 laps and he left South Florida with a 30th-place finish. He is 17 points out and one race away from potentially missing the Championship 4 field for a second straight season.

Playoff Ranking: 7th
Last Week: 3rd

5. Tyler Reddick

Was Homestead another missed opportunity for Reddick? That’s tough to say after finishing third but Reddick was a pre-race favorite and came out of Homestead below the cutline ten points out of a Playoff position.

Playoff Ranking: 5th
Last Week: 5th

6. Ryan Blaney

Another solid outing for Blaney with a second place finish at Homestead that saw him pace the field for 53 laps. He has the final spot in the Playoffs heading to Martinsville and is ten points above the cutline.

Playoff Ranking: 4th
Last Week: 8th

7. Bubba Wallace

An outside front row starting spot helped Wallace lead nine laps in the opening stages of Sunday’s race. Handling issues got the better of the No. 23 Toyota but adjustments helped Wallace gut out an impressive sixth-place finish.

Point Standings: 11th
Last Week: NR

8. Chris Buescher

It’s a must-win at Martinsville not for Buescher who has not had the best Playoff run by any means and comes into the last race in the Round of 8 after a disappointing 21st-place performance at Homestead.

Playoff Ranking: 8th
Last Week: 6th

9. Brad Keselowski

He led 16 laps and scored eight stage points in the early part of the race. But things went south from there for Keselowski who picked up damage from an accident and then went on to finish 28th at Homestead.

Point Standings: 9th
Last Week: 7th

10. Martin Truex Jr.

Once again teetering on an elimination after Truex Jr. started from the pole on Sunday then was eliminated with a blown engine on lap 237. He’ll need to find his former Martinsville magic to advance to the Championship 4.

Playoff Ranking: 6th
Last Week: 9th

Dropped Out: Kyle Busch
