The race continues: Power drivers of 2015

With the Sprint Cup Series nearing the end of the season, it is hard to believe that Brad Keselowski is lagging behind the likes of Joey Logano and Carl Edwards. While Keselowski's season got off to a rocky start, he led early at Phoenix, while having a victorious weekend at the Auto Club 400. The latter weeks, however, saw his sudden decline in rankings with a number of penalties, which until today is widely debated in the racing community.

Let us not forget that Keselowski led the Sprint Cup Series with six victories last year. So it’s really hard to understand all of the penalties that NASCAR levied against him, especially in the final stages of the race. 

Meanwhile, currently on the lead is Joey Logano, who recently won his “controversial” sixth victory this season under Team Penske. Currently with 4,000 points, Logano is battling against Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, and Kurt Busch.

Despite the controversies, there is no denying Logano’s skill. Like Keselowski, he too became the youngest winner in Sprint Cup Series history when he won the 35-day competition back in 2009. Hence, I am interested to see how things will work out in the last few races in November.
