2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Power Rankings - Week 37
	RK(LW)	DRIVER	TOP 10s	COMMENT
	1 (2)	Jimmie Johnson	23	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSJXoZTzz8U&feature=related
	2 (1)	Mark Martin	21	Shortly after the checkers, NASCAR reminded us that Mark Martin has gained 108 points on Johnson nine times in 265 chances. Yes, this is what we've been reduced to.
	3 (3)	Kurt Busch	20	Did you know that Kurt Busch attended his first Cup race at Phoenix when he was 13 years old? And that he had his picture taken in Rusty Wallace's pits holding a number 2 Miller Lite sign? That's sweet.
	4 (4)	Jeff Gordon	24	Raced desperate, sounded desperate on the radio, crew looked desperate on pit road. Why? Because they were desperate. The Drive For Five IX starts next week.
	5 (6)	Juan Pablo Montoya	18	He's now just four points from slipping past Tony Stewart into the top five in points. Don't think that's insignificant to him. It's not. It's also worth about $400,000.
	6 (8)	Greg Biffle	16	The Biff has never completed a full Cup season without visiting Victory Lane. Now it's off to Homestead, where he has won more times (three) than at any other racetrack.
	7 (9)	Kyle Busch	12	Friday, lost Truck race late. Saturday, failed to clinch the Nationwide title, screaming that his car was "a tub of ... ." Sunday, nearly hip checked Jeff Gordon's season into the wall. Nice weekend.
	8 (11)	Denny Hamlin	19	After Phoenix, DH declared himself "the king of generic finishes." Geez, dude, you finished third.
	9 (5)	Tony Stewart	23	Attention, Smoke fans: If the old points system were still in place, Tony would be eight points behind Johnson headed into Homestead. But please don't bring that up around him.
	10 (10)	Clint Bowyer	16	Over the past six races, the most famous man from Emporia, Kan., not named Dean Smith has posted an average finish of 10th. He finished fifth at Homestead one year ago.
	11 (7)	Ryan Newman	15	Remember when I told you Newman's pit crew had finally overcome its season-long issues on pit road at Texas? Um, forget that.
	12 (15)	Jeff Burton	9	I predicted that Burton would end RCR's winless streak at Texas. He didn't. I said Harvick would end it at Phoenix. So let's curb the crystal ball act and just say nice job, dude ... and qualify better next time.
	13 (12)	Matt Kenseth	12	Now that Matty K has officially lost the race for Highest Finishing Non-Chaser to Kyle Busch, the last remaining consolation prize would be to end the year like he started it -- with a win.
	14 (13)	Carl Edwards	13	Edwards is limping to the end of the season ... figuratively and literally.
	15 (14)	Kasey Kahne	14	Some conspiracy theorists claim that NASCAR picked the 10 Chase races to create an advantage for Jimmie Johnson. Kahne fans might start thinking they were picked to make the No. 9 car vanish.
	16 (18)	David Reutimann	10	The Reut shocked the world when he won the pole at Homestead in December 2008. Who knew that one year later he'd have a win and be a lock to finish 16th in points? Not me.
	17 (20)	AJ Allmendinger	5	Two weeks in a Ford, two weeks in the Power Rankings.
	18	Marcos Ambrose	7	Hey, mate, where ya been? I know the answer to that. He's been near the front. If not for a miscue at Texas and a late fade to 11th on Sunday, he would've posted two top-10s in a row.
	19 (19)	Joey Logano	7	Some weeks he looks like Sliced Bread. Some weeks he looks like Chopped Liver. As the leaders tried to get around him late in the race, his rear bumper was wider than Dave Marcis'.
	20	Martin Truex Jr.	5	The top 22 in points kept the same position. The first driver to a make a move was the Clam Prince of New Jersey, jumping three spots to 23rd. But what's up with the Rain-X paint scheme in the desert?
