• Ryan Blaney maintains his spot in the NASCAR Power Rankings despite a bitter loss at the Brickyard 400. Blaney led for much of the race but was passed by Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott in the closing laps, denying Blaney his first career victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Despite the disappointing result, Blaney's consistent performance throughout the season has kept him near the top of the Power Rankings.

• Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin round out the top three in the latest Power Rankings. Busch's victory at the Brickyard, his fourth of the season, solidifies his position as one of the top drivers in the series. Hamlin, who finished second at Indianapolis, continues to be a threat for the championship with his strong showings week after week.

• Chase Elliott's dramatic win at the Brickyard moves him up to fourth in the Power Rankings. The young Hendrick driver has been a consistent contender all season, and his ability to capitalize on Blaney's late-race misfortune at Indianapolis has boosted his standing in the rankings. Elliott's victory also showcases the depth of talent within the Hendrick Motorsports organization.
