2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Power Rankings - Week 32
	RK(LW)	DRIVER	TOP 10s	COMMENT
	1 (2)	Jimmie Johnson	19	Now you know why the 48 team started breakdancing when they heard Cali had been moved into the Chase. But was it fair to allow them to use rocket boosters on those last two restarts?
	2 (3)	Juan Pablo Montoya	16	Over his first 97 Cup Series starts, JPM posted six top-5 finishes. In his last six races, he's racked up five. Huh?
	3 (1)	Mark Martin	18	Started ninth, finished fourth, led five laps, lost the points lead. Those kinds of days should lead to a championship, but it's looking as though he who wins the most Chase races will win the Cup.
	4 (5)	Jeff Gordon	21	Rainbow Nation was thrilled with Four-Time's second-place finish, then horrified when he all but carried a surrender flag into Victory Lane and handed it to his teammate/employee/protégé.
	5 (4)	Tony Stewart	21	The 14 car ran 14th all day. Then it was conspicuously catapulted when he caught two cautions and finished a fortuitous fifth.
	6 (8)	Kurt Busch	17	The Blue Deuce is 121 points behind JJ in the standings. Everyone here and above is still in it. Everyone below this sentence, please gather your parting gifts and start working on 2010.
	7 (9)	Carl Edwards	13	Cuz is off his crutches, albeit with a limp. Perhaps he was inspired by his ripped ESPN The Magazine "Body Issue" cover shot. (Psst. Look on p. 100 for Ken Schrader's missing thumb. Seriously.)
	8 (6)	Denny Hamlin	16	Give Hambone credit for taking the blame for wrecking while leading. Old Denny would have pulled a Cole Trickle and come off pit road to T-bone Montoya's Chevy like it was Russ Wheeler driving it.
	9 (7)	Greg Biffle	14	"So, Biff, busy weekend?" "Other than being accosted by another driver's dad on Saturday night and wrecking out of the Chase on Sunday, not really."
	10 (10)	Ryan Newman	14	The good news: Newman owns eight poles and six top-8 finishes at Lowe's Motor Speedway. The bad news: He has also five DNFs and six finishes of 27th or worse.
	11 (11)	Kasey Kahne	12	Looked good, even great, but saw his day go down the flush tube at the very end. Now highlight this sentence and hit control-C …
	12 (12)	Brian Vickers	13	On Friday night, BV was asked, "Did you guys use up your stuff getting into the Chase?" He didn't even hesitate before saying, "Looks like it, doesn't it?" Yes, yes it does.
	13 (16)	Matt Kenseth	10	Congrats, crew chief Drew Blickensderfer! Roush Fenway Racing says you'll be back next year! (But miss the Chase again and you'll be reassigned to Red Sox laundry duty in 2011.)
	14 (13)	Kyle Busch	10	Shrub started at the back because of an engine change. Then, with the flu so bad he couldn't finish the race, passed 20 cars during the first green-flag run. I know y'all like to boo him, but that's bad-ass.
	15 (17)	Clint Bowyer	13	Well hello, Clint! We'd forgotten you were even still out there.
	16 (15)	David Reutimann	9	All right, D Root, I'm as sick as you are of everyone dissing your rain-shortened Charlotte win back in May. So do us both a favor and back it up this weekend. Deal?
	17 (14)	Marcos Ambrose	7	He was just a few laps away from a top finish and cracking our top 12. But remember when we told you to control-C what we wrote about Kasey Kahne? You can control-V that here.
	18 (18)	AJ Allmendinger	4	And here.
	19 (19)	Casey Mears	3	Over his last five races, the last of the Mears Gang has averaged a 13th-place finish and 123 points per race. You say you didn't see that coming? Yeah, me neither.
	20	Kevin Harvick	6	So, you think Happy's good runs of late means that he'll stay at RCR past 2010? Clearly you haven't seen my man Marty Smith's interview from last week.
