Ok now you have three races under your belt and you are getting settled into that recliner after 3 different tracks. Now Bristol is on its way ---Who is your choice of the picks----- or are you really keeping up ! !
I don't pull for him, but I think Jimmie Johnson has been extremely consistent.
BUT he is not number 1 Bad boy Brad is number one
Not realy watching but bad Brad is running stroung in that new Ford
brad is running strong - he is a tough guy too - he took a hard shot at daytona in the nationwide crash - said it knocked the breath out of him - at the shop he pulled up his shirt and his side was all black and blue - he has my respect - look for the gibbs cars to finish high at bristol .
I really like that bad one, too.... but the 5-time feller is leading the parade according to the NASCAR stats that pay:
According to Fox Sports Nascar says this on the leader board
| RK | DRIVER | WINS | CHANGE | HIGH/LOW | COMMENTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brad Keselowski | 0 | 1 | 1/6 | After his third-place finish, Keselowski was bemoaning the fact that he has yet to win this season. But he has been awfully close in each of the first three races and looked rock solid again in Las Vegas. Hes not going anywhere. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 2 | Jimmie Johnson | 1 | 1 | 1/7 | Whats wrong with the No. 48? After winning at Daytona and finishing second at Phoenix, Johnson was sixth in Sin City. Of course, absolutely nothing is wrong with the No. 48, as Johnson is still plenty strong. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 3 | Matt Kenseth | 1 | 3 | 1/6 | OK, lets cut to the Chase: As early as it is in this season, Kenseth nearly won the Daytona 500 and now has a victory under his belt. If someone other than Kenseth, Johnson or Keselowski wins the championship this year, it will be a surprise. The top thr Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear  |
| 4 | Carl Edwards | 1 | 1 | 3/19 | The Missouri native backed up his Phoenix victory of last week with a top-five finish and appears back on form after last years dismal season. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 5 | Dale Earnhardt Jr. | 0 | 1 | 4/14 | Three races, two top-five and three top-10 finishes for Earnhardt, who is off to a very strong campaign this year. Third in points right now is an excellent way to start the season. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 6 | Denny Hamlin | 0 | 1 | 5/14 | Like his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates, Hamlin had a very fast Toyota in Vegas. A late-race pit-road penalty cost him a good finish, as he ended the day 15th. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 7 | Kasey Kahne | 0 | 8 | 2/15 | For the first time all season, Kahne dominated, leading nearly half the race, but got beaten by pit strategy. Still, it was his best run of the year by far. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 8 | Mark Martin | 0 | 1 | 8/9 | The ageless one was good but not great at Las Vegas, finishing a respectable 14th. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 9 | Kyle Busch | 0 | 7 | 5/16 | The younger Busch finally put together an incident-free day and finished fourth after leading 27 laps. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |
| 10 | Tony Stewart | 0 | 2 | 1/10 | Like a lot of his fellow drivers, Stewart was awful early, going a lap down to the field. But he rallied near the end to salvage an 11th-place finish. Team: Home | Stats | News | Gear |

Heck - I was looking at the official NASCAR points standings. Unfortunately they don't determine the champ by the power rankings. But, I still pull for Brad. What I'd really like to see are a few or more knock down, drag out battles between the Lite Beer fella and the Candyman. Now, that would be exciting!
Think we could get NASCAR to pay off at the end of the year on the power rankings instead of the points, where double J does lead?

I won't get into this one. There are too many categories of what can be considered number ONE.
