Here are my final driver rankings for today’s race at Chicagoland. I compiled them by crunching the practice and qualifying data from Chicagoland on Friday and Saturday, and then melding it with the historical data:

  1. Jeff Gordon
  2. Jimmie Johnson
  3. Kevin Harvick
  4. Brad Keselowski
  5. Carl Edwards
  6. Joey Logano
  7. Kasey Kahne
  8. Matt Kenseth
  9. Paul Menard
  10. Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
