For the pre season rankings we go off of last year’s results and who looked good all season long and who looked good toward the end of the season. Based on that criteria it comes as kind of a surprise that HMS sits at #4. Jimmie Johnson is the Champion and could repeat again this year but many questions swirl around the other three drivers. Joe Gibbs Racing IS the #1 even with the loss of Carl Edwards, the other three drivers could and go far in the Playoffs. Stewart Haas Racing has a reshuffled driver line up and are newly in the Ford camp but two of their drivers made the Chase last year and should make the playoffs this year. Furniture Row now a two driver operation but still in the Top 5. Wood Brothers Racing are the only single car operation in the Top 10.

Starting January 27, we’ll begin posting our Top 30 drivers for the 2017 season.
