025 David Reutimann....004/02/01/01
I removed Vickers from my Top 25 list as he is not activley competing in the Cup Series, and added Reutimann, who is. Montoya and Mears could make the list if they somehow luck up and get a win this year (Montoya will have 2 road course shots at it, so who knows).

024 Marcos Ambrose.....006/02/04/00
025 David Reutimann....004/02/01/01
Kyle Busch's win in the Nationwide race at Bristol is his 53rd in the series, and his 107th overall.
Kasey Kahne's win in the Cup race at Bristol is his 15th in the series, and 26th overall.
Last update I had removed Vickers from my list, so now what does he do? He runs at Bristol, go figure! If he runs a few more races this year I'll go ahead and add him back in. He has 5 total wins which would slot him in p25 ahead of Reutimann. Or I might drop Mikey Waltrip who only runs the occasional plate race here and there now that his career is winding down.
