Tier #1 Elite

He won Stage #1, won Stage #2, led 207 laps but wasn’t clutch when it counted and came home runner-up. This year at shorter-flat tracks, Hamlin has the best Total Speed Ranking in the series and he ranks #1 in that analytic across all the oval races where the 750 HP rules package was used.

2) Martin Truex Jr. – At Richmond, Truex has won 2 of the last 4 races and over the last five his average finish is 2.4. This spring, Truex led 107 laps, finished 2nd in the first two Stages and rebounded to finish 5th despite getting a speeding penalty in the final Stage.

3) Joey Logano – In 6 of the last 8 Richmond races, Joey Logano has finished in the top 4. Currently he has back to back 3rd place finishes. This spring, Logano was actually the leader at the time of the final caution. This year at shorter-flat tracks, Logano has a 3.0 average finish.
