Last week's ranking in parentheses.
1. Greg Hodnett(1) - 5th@ WG, 21st @ Port - Leads all drivers at local tracks in combined wins, top-5s and top-10s.
2. Lance Dewease(2) - 8th @ I-55, 11th @ I-55 - Should have had two top-10 runs with the Outlaws last week.
3. Chad Layton(3) - 8th @ WG, 1st @ Port - Big win for Chad and crew in the Port Royal Dream Race Extreme.
4. Brian Montieth(6) - 3rd @ WG, 2nd @ Port - Might have been one lap away from back-to-back Grove wins, but we'll never know will we? Led significant portion of the Dream Extreme.
5. Alan Krimes(4) - 6th @ WG, 6th @ Port – Fast-timer at the Dream Race, adds a few more top-10s to his already impressive 2010 resume.
6. Mark Smith(8) - 7th @ WG, 3rd @ Port - Very nice rebound after last week's slip. Ran 2nd for a while in the Dream before settling for 3rd.
7. Daryn Pittman(5) - 12th @ WG, 15th @ Port - Racing in Iowa in the Buch 13 this week.
8. Fred Rahmer(7) - 15th @ I-55, 22nd @ I-55 - Making the show with the WoO at an unfamiliar track is nothing to sneeze at. Maybe Fred works some Knoxville magic again this week.
9. Danny Dietrich(9) - 21st @ WG, 8th @ Port - Wrong place at the wrong time at WG. Came back for a strong top-10 in the Dream.
10. Tyler Walker(10) - 16th @ I-55, 11th @ Knoxville - Its hard to rank Tyler compared to the rest of the Posse when he hasn't been racing against them much lately. Benefit of the doubt keeps him ranked. This week will give a better indication.
11. Doug Esh(11) - 21st @ Fulton, 21st @ I-55, 13th @ I-55 - Finished his run in the R19. In nine races he had two top-10s and a big win. Not too bad for not having any experience at most tracks he ran.
12. Brent Marks(NR) - 2nd @ WG, 8th @ Port - Nearly pulled out his first career WG win.

Honorable Mention. Ryan Taylor() - 5th @ Port - Finished 5th in the Dream and notched his 4th consecutive top-6 finish.
Hard Luck. Aaron Ott() - 19th @ WG - Flip victim of a bad slider while running top-5. Hard racing or not, it was a bad deal for the young gun looking to rejoin the Dirty Dozen. In the 360 nightcap at the Grove the top wing let go on lap 1 and he flipped again.
