NASCAR Power Rankings: Who is No. 1 After Sunday’s Race at Atlanta?
Each week Toby Christie, Joseph Srigley, and Zach Evans team together on Racing America On SI to form Power Rankings, where all 36 full-time NASCAR Cup Series drivers and teams are ranked.
With another wild superspeedway event in Atlanta on Sunday, a lot of movement was reflected in the rankings this week. No driver moved up more than Josh Berry, who led a lot of laps before being swept up in a final lap crash. Berry jumped up 14 spots in the rankings this week, while Carson Hocevar moved up 12 spots on the strength of his runner-up finish.
But who is No. 1? And where is your favorite driver ranked? Find out in this week’s Power Rankings ahead of the first race of the year with right turns (COTA).
