After the inaugural race on Naval Base Coronado on a temporary street and tarmac course, NASCAR heads to its final road-course weekend.<\/p>\n

Some Cup drivers will be thankful and others will miss the opportunities these races afford them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also a time for those who might not thrive on road courses to show how much they\u2019ve improved, like Bubba Wallace did with a second-place finish at Coronado.<\/p>\n

That allowed him to jump up on this list. The race winner, Corey Heim<\/a>, isn\u2019t running enough to be ranked here.<\/p>\n

Here are my power rankings following Coronado and heading into the event this weekend at Sonoma Raceway.<\/p>\n

Dropped out: Christopher Bell (Last Week: 7), William Byron (Last Week: 8)<\/p>\n

On the verge: Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe, William Byron, Chase Elliott, Riley Herbst, Carson Hocevar<\/p>\n

10.<\/p>\n

\"Trackhouse<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t look now, but Chastain has back-to-back top-10 finishes with an eighth at Pocono and a seventh at Coronado. It looks like he is finding some speed.<\/p>\n

9.<\/p>\n

\"Daniel<\/a><\/p>\n

Su\u00e1rez finished 13th at Coronado. It was his seventh top-15 finish in his last eight races and he is now eighth in the series standings. Nothing flashy but steady.<\/p>\n

8.<\/p>\n

\"Erik<\/a><\/p>\n

Jones didn\u2019t have much speed at Coronado and still moved up one spot in the points to 14th, despite a 20th-place finish. He can\u2019t complain too much considering he damaged the car in qualifying as he tried to find some speed.<\/p>\n

7.<\/p>\n

\"Bubba<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only did Wallace finish second on a road course, he did it coming back from two laps down following a penalty for a wheel coming off the car. He has two top-three finishes in his last three starts.<\/p>\n

6.<\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/a><\/p>\n

Buescher has three consecutive top-10 finishes, placing a solid sixth at Coronado. And his future is set, as he has signed a contract extension at RFK Racing.<\/p>\n

5.<\/p>\n

\"Ty<\/a><\/p>\n

Gibbs was 15th at the Coronado and remained fifth in the series standings. He needs to have a good Sonoma to start building momentum for the final two months of the regular season.<\/p>\n

4.<\/p>\n

\"Ryan<\/a><\/p>\n

Blaney earned his fifth consecutive top-10 finish with a ninth at Coronado. He is third in the series standings.<\/p>\n

3.<\/p>\n

\"Tyler<\/a><\/p>\n

Reddick got out-dueled by teammate Corey Heim over the final laps at Coronado while also doing what he felt was the right thing to do as he gave up a potential pass on Heim because he had gotten into him unintentionally. That contact resulted in a flat and Reddick finished a disappointing 25th.<\/p>\n

2.<\/p>\n

\"Kyle<\/a><\/p>\n

Larson is known for doing special things but he hasn\u2019t been doing anything particularly special lately. He finished third at Coronado, his third consecutive top-five finish.<\/p>\n

1.<\/p>\n

\"Denny<\/a><\/p>\n

Hamlin will take 14th on a road course, as he cut into Reddick\u2019s points lead. He now trails Reddick by just eight points. If Reddick had out-dueled Heim, Reddick would be in this spot. But the margin of error is tiny, especially on road courses.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the inaugural race on Naval Base Coronado on a temporary street and tarmac course, NASCAR heads to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":756453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[2331,49,48,10662,4387,10328,28942,3932,634,8354,55760,82,9272,4382],"class_list":["post-756452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-bubba-wallace","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-chase-briscoe","tag-chase-elliott","tag-christopher-bell","tag-corey-heim","tag-denny-hamlin","tag-nascar","tag-nascar-cup-series","tag-riley-herbst","tag-sports","tag-tyler-reddick","tag-william-byron"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=756452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/756452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/756453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=756452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=756452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=756452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
