1: Keegan Leahy (+2)
After winning two races this season, Keegan Leahy is the only driver within striking distance of Ray Alfalla’s points lead. Leahy is too hot to stop right now.
2: Ray Alfalla (-1)
Ray Alfalla’s No. 2 car finished second at Kansas, so naturally he’s No. 2 in our power rankings, too. Alfalla is the defending winner at Charlotte.
3: Logan Clampitt (+1)
During what was officially an off-week, Logan Clampitt won an unofficial series All-Star Race at Charlotte. While the win won’t make it into the scorebooks, it’s worth considering Clampitt, who led 51 laps at Kansas, as a contender Tuesday.
4: Ryan Luza (-2)
The 2017 champ didn’t race at Kansas, but if he starts Tuesday, he’s one to watch at Charlotte. Luza is still third in points after six races, despite missing the last one.
5: Christian Challiner (+3)
Christian Challiner’s riding a wave of momentum after Kansas, scoring two consecutive top-six finishes.
6: Michael Conti (-1)
Michael Conti finished dead-last at Kansas after an early crash with Bobby Zalenski. Expect a rebound for the No. 5 in the Queen City.
7: Bobby Zalenski (-1)
Bobby Zalenski’s 2018 has been hit-and-miss so far. Kansas was a miss after an early crash, which means Charlotte will have to be a hit, right? Zalenski’s still searching for his first top-five finish of the year, though he’s finished sixth twice.
8: Nickolas Shelton (NR)
Keep an eye on Nickolas Shelton, a newcomer to our Power Rankings. Shelton finished third at Kansas and at Las Vegas. In other words, he’s truly shown a knack for 1.5-mile race tracks like Charlotte. Shelton has vaulted to fifth in the points after his recent string of solid finishes.
9: Zack Novak (NR)
While Zack Novak dominated at Kansas, he settled for a fourth-place finish. It seems this season when Novak’s on a hot streak, he runs into bad luck — but you can expect to see the No. 15 near the front Tuesday.
10: Matt Bussa (-3)
Chicago native Matt Bussa’s never finished in the top 10 at Charlotte in five attempts, but the man who sits eighth in points hopes to make a little Illi-noise this time. Sorry, that was bad.
