No. 1

Kyle Busch

Nos. 18/51 Toyotas, NASCAR Sprint Cup/Craftsman Truck Series
It was a light weekend by Busch’s standards. He competed in Saturday night’s Craftsman Truck Series race, leading before finishing sixth, but that does little to take away from his 14 victories this season. Busch was back in action in the ASA Midwest Tour race at Iowa Speedway Sunday. He led much off the race, but dropped from competition.

U.S. Army Top Fuel Dragster, NHRA
Schumacher picked up his seventh Top Fuel victory of the season this past weekend at Pacific Raceways near Seattle.

After a week without a WoO victory, Schatz quickly got back on track with a win and two second-place finishes.

4. Scott Dixon

No. 9 Target Chip Ganassi Dallara-Honda, IndyCar Series
Dixon finished third behind two Penske cars, but has been on the podium for all but one post-race celebration this season.
