A chaotic Watkins Glen race led to a significant reshuffling of the NBC Sports NASCAR Power Rankings. Tyler Reddick remains No. 1 but there are four new drivers in this week’s top 10, including Watkins Glen winner Chris Buescher.

Outside of the three-race increments it operates in, the NASCAR playoffs don't care who a driver is or what he's done, which is what makes each year's playoffs so rife with drama and so volatile in who advances and who does not.

Chris Buescher won in an exciting finish Sunday, passing Shane van Gisbergen on the final lap. For the power rankings, though, it's hard to say what to make of the action when so many of the top title contenders raced poorly.
