Larson finished second for the fifth time this season and built on his points lead. The No. 42 has been the class of the field so far in 2017.

With the third-best average finish through seven races, Elliott has been one of NASCAR’s most consistent drivers with finishes of 14^th or better in each race.

In addition to being consistent this season, Truex has the second-most playoff points so far this season, winning four stages and a race.

The only driver with multiple wins so far this season, Keselowski has finished sixth or better in each of the last six races.

Team Penske looks very strong to start the season with both drivers finishing in the top-six in six of seven races. Logano needs to start increasing his playoff point total, though.

While Blaney has been fast at every track this season, his finishes have been a rollercoaster. He’s paired top-12 finishes with results of 18^th or worse on alternating weeks.

Outside of two strong finishes at Phoenix and Martinsville, it’s been a struggle for Busch and all of Joe Gibbs Racing.

Chip Ganassi Racing has shown a ton of speed in 2017 and outside of a crash at Daytona and a blown tire at Martinsville, McMurray has his best start to a season since 2010.

The smile on Bowyer’s face keeps getting bigger with each passing week. He’s been 11^th or better since Daytona.

The consistency Harvick has shown since joining Stewart-Haas Racing hasn’t been there this season but he’s had great cars a few times. He’ll break through for a win before too long.

What a change one weekend can make. Johnson jumps up three spots and guarantees a shot at a record-breaking eighth championship.

Bayne only has two finishes worse than 13^th this season. Great consistency from the Roush Fenway Racing Fords to kickoff 2017.

Outside of his victory at Phoenix, Newman has been around a 17^th-place car most weekends. RCR lacked speed at Texas as Newman finished 26^th.

The rookie Furniture Row Racing driver has impressed with consistency in his early Cup career. After five top-15 finishes, Jones struggled at Texas and finished 22^nd.

The Daytona 500 winner stopped the bleeding of four poor results at Texas with a 10^th-place performance.

All of Joe Gibbs Racing has faced a bumpy road to start the season. Hamlin has only two top-10s to pair with three finishes of 25^th or worse.

A mechanical failure cost Kahne his run of top 20 finishes to start the season and was a big hit in the points standings.

Almirola scored his fifth straight top-20 finish, which is a move in the right direction for Richard Petty Motorsports.

Stenhouse has shown speed this season and has posted top-15 finishes in the last two races.

After three results of 30^th or worse in the first six races, Dale Jr. turned his luck around in the Lone Star State with his first top five of the season.

A busted track bar led to Dillon’s worst finish of the season a week after his best. RCR has been up-and-down so far this year as the No. 3 has some work to do to make the playoffs again this season.

It’s been feast or famine for Kenseth this season. He has three top-10 finishes along with three DNFs.  

The Joe Gibbs Racing rookie has gone through quite the learning experience. While he has two top-10 finishes, he hasn’t had the No. 19 near the front very often.

The final rookie in the field this year has consistently put his car near the top half of the field. He’s finished 22^nd or better in every race since Daytona.

If it wasn’t for a 35-point penalty, Allmendinger would be knocking on the door of a playoff spot right now. He has two top-six finishes and hasn’t finished worse than 26^th this season.

After finishing fifth in the Daytona 500, Menard has struggled mightily with a best finish of 19^th in the next six races.

The single car Leavine Family Racing operation has shown some promise this season. McDowell has kept the cars fairly clean and has a best finish of 15^th.

Even if you came into 2017 with more realistic expectations for how Patrick would perform, she’s underperforming. Outside of a 17^th at Daytona, she hasn’t finished better than 22^nd with an average finish of 25.9 through seven races.

It’s been a rough go for Cassill and the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports team this season. He’s finished between 27^th and 29^th in the past five races.
