What Lincoln is Thinkin’ - 6-15 Driver Terrific 13

What Lincoln is Thinkin' - Driver Terrific 13 (After Michigan)

1. Tony Stewart - More top 10's than anyone, it's hard to believe with his situation, but he's been the sport's most consistent driver.
2. Jimmie Johnson - Was just one lap away from his third victory of the year. He's going to be hard to beat (AGAIN!) come chase-time.
3. Jeff Gordon - More top 5's than anyone, and he almost became the fifth driver this year to come back from the back of the pack and win a race.
4. Carl Edwards - Hottest driver right now - four straight top 10's. He'll be the next driver to get his first win of the year.
5. Ryan Newman - A 23rd finish at MIS broke a string of six straight top 10's. Stewart is stealing the headlines, but what Newman has done this year is as impressive.
6. Mark Martin - He has as many wins (3) as 40+ finishes. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the old man has a shot at a championship.
7. Kurt Busch - Another top 10 in Michigan. He's carrying Penske on his back.
8. Kyle Busch - Has the opportunity to dominate a race, but lately just can't find that same mojo he had last year for an extended stretch of races.
9. Greg Biffle - Heartbreaking loss for the Biff in Michigan. The one thing he has going for him, at least he salvaged a top 5.
10. Denny Hamlin - Nice bounce-back top five after back-to-back 35+ finishes.
11. Matt Kenseth - Hasn't been a threat to win a race since week 2.
12. David Reutimann - He will have to battle Burton for the final chase spot for the rest of the year.
13. Jeff Burton - There's a chance that Kenseth could fall off the back, but Burton is going to have to win a race to feel good about getting in the chase.

Who do you think should be number one?
