What Lincoln is Thinkin’ - Driver Terrific 13

Driver Terrific 13 - After Pocono
1. Kyle Busch Last Week: (1) Busch has been so dominant this year, that he can finish dead last, and still hold on to the top spot in the points standings, and the Terrific 13.
2. Jeff Burton (2) Imagine how good Burton would be if he actually qualified well. It seems he also spends the first half of races fighting through the pack, and then is always hanging around in the end.
3. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (4) Jr. never challenged for the lead, but he had a good run after the Dover disaster last week. Earnhardt's the only driver in the top 6 in the standings who hasn't won yet this year.
4. Carl Edwards (3) Edwards was disappointed with his 9th place finish, and he should be - he had the second-best car at Pocono.
5. Jimmie Johnson (7) JJ also spend most of the day in Pocono at the front of the pack - everything got jumbled at the end, but he was able to save a 6th place finish.
6. Denny Hamlin (9) Hamlin drove most of the race with a busted front - and still finished 3rd, a much better outcome then wrecking 16 laps into Dover.
7. Jeff Gordon (5) Gordon had a terrible car at Pocono. This is not the first time this has happened this year... which makes you wonder what is going on in the 24 garage.
8. Greg Biffle (6) Biffle ruined a great day with a speeding violation. He was contending with Kahne for most of the second half of the race.
9. Kasey Kahne (NR) Two wins in the last three weeks has Kahne in the rankings to stay.
10. Kevin Harvick (11) Rough day for Harvick, but he still pulls in a 13th place finish.
11. Clint Bowyer (8) Bowyer wrecked himself, and Juan Pablo Montoya in the most exciting crash of the day. But a 39th place finish dropped him deep in the points standings.
12. Matt Kenseth (13) Kenseth has four straight top 10's, and 8 for the year - there are nine drivers ahead of him in the rankings that have less than that.
13. Tony Stewart (10) Stewart needs a win desperately. He had a good run going, but finished 35th. He's on the brink of missing the chase.

Out of Rankings: David Ragan
Just Missed: Ragan, Ryan Newman

What do you think of my rankings? Should Kyle Busch have fallen out of the top spot? How high do you think Kahne should be?
