A classic battle looks like it's starting to take shape at the top of the NASCAR Cup standings since four of the top five drivers in the current standings are former NASCAR Sprint Cup champions.
This is just about as good as it gets for it being this early in the season. Then again, we here at NBaP know it is early in the season and we've seen what happens as things hit the final leg of the season! (Can we say Kyle Busch?)
In these top 5, we have four-time champion (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001) Jeff Gordon leading the pack.
Three-time series champion Jimmie Johnson.
The 2004 champion Kurt Busch, who didn't make much noise last year after all his owner points were wasted on Sam Hornish.
The ever hungry two-time (2002 and 2005) champ, Tony Stewart is fifth in points. With Tony sitting up top like this, and doing as well as he is, I am a betting man that he is very hungry to make point and prove that new teams are viable for contention when they're done right.
The total number of points separating Gordon from Stewart is a mere 216.
