 Final 2008 Power Rankings

CARL EDWARDS

2008 POWER RANKING WINNER

This past weekend, the Sprint Cup series visited the Homestead-Miami Speedway for the final race of the 2008 Sprint Cup Season, the Ford 400.

 

After this race was done and over, Carl Edwards ended up winning yet another race in the Chase and scored nearly the maximum amount of points possible in the power rankings. Edwards didn't win the pole, however he led the most laps and came home the winner so you can't get much better then that. With the win, Edwards locked up the top spot in this years power rankings but he lost the big prize, the 2008 Sprint Cup Championship to Jimmie Johnson. Johnson finished the race in 15th which dropped him from the top spot in the power rankings but won him the Sprint Cup Championship. Johnson finishes the year in 2nd in the power rankings, just 10 points out of 1st. Kyle Busch finished in third the final rankings despite a fairly poor race Sunday where he finished 19th. Greg Biffle finishes the 2008 season out in the 4th spot while Jeff Gordon jumped into the Top 5 in the 5th spot after he finished the Ford 400 in 4th place. 

 

Dale Eranhardt Jr drops to the 6th spot in the final power rankings after he had all sorts of car problems at Homstead and finished the race in 41st. Denny Hamlin finished the year in 7th while Kevin Harvick made a big jump from 11th to finish the year in 8th place after he finished the Ford 400 in 2nd place. Matt Kenseth dropped one spot to finish the year in 9th while Tony Stewart fell one spot to finish the year in 10th. Jeff Burton dropped out of the Top 10, finishing the year in 11th. The final power rankings after the Ford 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway are listed below.
