| RANK | DRIVER | TRENDING | TOP 10s | COMMENT |
| 1 |  JimmieJohnson | -- Last Week: 1 | 9 | Welcome to the annual Father's Day edition, featuring comments made by my 8-year-old daughter during the race. For Jimmie: "He was totally trying to win, Dad. You can't blame him for that." |
| 2 |  KevinHarvick | -- Last Week: 2 | 7 | "It's Father's Day and he has a baby! What's his name? Keelan? That's fun to say. How many different ways can you say it? Key-luhn. Kee-land. Key-line ..." (This goes on for the next 15 minutes.) |
| 3 |  KyleBusch | -- Last Week: 3 | 9 | "You know, I like M&M's. And I really like peanut butter. So you would think I would like peanut M&M's, but that's just not how I roll." |
| 4 |  MattKenseth | 1 Last Week: 5 | 8 | "Why does his car say Husky? He doesn't look that Husky to me. Maybe he has a Husky dog." |

| 8 |  TonyStewart | 4 Last Week: 12 | 5 | "It's cool that his nickname is Smoke, but I hope he doesn't actually smoke because that would mean either he is smoking cigarettes that are bad for you or he is on fire. That is also bad for you." |
| 9 |  BradKeselowski | -- Last Week: 9 | 8 | "Do you remember when I got my picture taken with him at the Rockingham track? He had his regular clothes on instead of his superhero suit." |
| 10 |  DaleEarnhardt Jr. | 4 Last Week: 6 | 9 | "Aw, man, his car is all smoked up. He has Superman painted on his car, so, Dad, you totally have to write something tomorrow about kryptonite. No one else will think of that." |
| 11 |  KaseyKahne | 3 Last Week: 8 | 6 | "Hey, it's the guy with the blue eyes that Mom is always talking about." |
| 12 |  MartinTruex Jr. | 3 Last Week: 15 | 6 | "If he was a superhero his archenemy would be Martin False-ex Jr. Get it?" |
