Plenty Vying For Gordon s Top Spot



Jeff Gordon best stay on his toes, because there are a plenty of drivers who are nipping at his points lead.

Three in particular have posted better marks than Gordon in practically all of the Loop Data s most critical categories. Those drivers are Jeff Burton (No. 31 Cingular Wireless Chevrolet) (second in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series standings), Jimmie Johnson (third) and Tony Stewart (No. 20 Home Depot Chevrolet) (eighth).

For instance, Johnson and Stewart rank 1-2 in the all-important Driver Rating standings. Johnson has a Driver Rating of 110.6, while Stewart has a 108.8. Right behind them is Gordon at 108.7 and Burton at 105.3. So while the consistent Gordon has a 28-point lead in the series standings, he should consider himself lucky that Johnson and Stewart have stumbled this season (most notably at Daytona and Bristol).
