2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Power Rankings - Week 30
	RK(LW)	DRIVER	TOP 10s	COMMENT
	1 (3)	Jimmie Johnson	17	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipHv9Xdj-Oc
	2 (1)	Mark Martin	16	Finished second at Dover and dropped a spot in the Power Rankings. It doesn't seem fair until you realize that Martin called Johnson "Superman" no fewer than a dozen times during his postrace media gauntlet.
	3 (7)	Juan Pablo Montoya	14	He's not going away, is he? Unless you count that deal with the Sacramento TV sports guy.
	4 (5)	Kurt Busch	16	Two weeks into the one-day-a-week crew chief experiment and everything is going just fine. So far.
	5 (9)	Tony Stewart	19	You get the feeling that we might have the makings of a Tour De France-style breakaway starting to come together in the Chase. The cutoff for that group might very well be right here.
	6 (6)	Ryan Newman	14	Or maybe here.
	7 (10)	Jeff Gordon	19	Or here.
	8 (2)	Denny Hamlin	15	The FedEx guys started the weekend talking about how they've always struggled at Dover. Then Hamlin got into a fight after Saturday's Nationwide race. Finishing two laps down seemed inevitable.
	9 (8)	Greg Biffle	13	The Biff expects to win whenever we get to Dover, which means 13th felt like 43rd. The good news? Over his past five Kansas starts, he's finished third or better four times, including a win in '07.
	10 (7)	Brian Vickers	13	Two weeks ago, I suggested the 83 might have used up its ammo just getting into the Chase. One more weekend of generic-ness, and I will officially be correct.
	11 (13)	Kasey Kahne	11	Another nice Dover run for Ol' Blue Eyes, but it's too little too late for this year's title hunt. On the bright side, things are looking more stable than ever down at Richard Petty Motorsports ... no, wait ...
	12 (9)	Carl Edwards	11	Qualifying 30th created too steep a hill for Cousin Carl to climb. Especially on crutches.
	13 (16)	Matt Kenseth	10	Dude could race Dover wearing a straitjacket, having scored his best finish since opening the season with two wins. Hang on ... those wins were this season? The Daytona 500 seems like it was three years ago.
	14 (13)	Kyle Busch	10	Been catching a lot of cyber flak for my comments on "NASCAR Now" about crew chief Steve Addington's being on the hot seat. Note: None of those e-mails have come from anyone named Shrub or Gibbs.
	15 (14)	Clint Bowyer	12	Remember when we all raised a stink about Richard Childress' moving Bowyer out of the Jack Daniel's car? Well, JD isn't coming back next year, and now the 07 team might be parked. Our bad.
	16 (18)	Marcos Ambrose	7	Show of hands: Who predicted the guy with the funny accent in the car owned by the basketball player would be 17th in points in October? Russell Crowe and Michael Jordan, put your hands down.
	17 (15)	David Reutimann	8	Running ... out ... of ... steam ... must ... make it ... to end ... of season ...
	18 (17)	Jeff Burton	6	According to my editors, Power Rankings rules require that I rank only individual drivers, not pairs or entire teams. That ruined my plan to rank Caseyjeffkevin Mearsurtonarvick here in the 18th hole.
	19	AJ Allmendinger	4	The Dinger returns for the first time since April, although he's been a semi-regular in the "Also Considered" category. He now is only one top-10 finish behind Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Seriously.
	20 (19)	Joey Logano	5	He looked like a Joey, all right. Joie Chitwood. We now can add Sliced Bread to the "Thank God for the COT, or I might be dead" roster, which includes Jeff Gordon, Michael McDowell and Carl Edwards.
