2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Stock Watch: Week 3

Two weeks into the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, it's time to take stock of what's happening.Looking strictly at drivers for this edition, whose stock is on the rise, whose is worthy at least of holding for the time being and whose already is destined to be dumped'Based not only on who has won the two races but also on how drivers and their teams have performed, their immediate prospects for success on the track, who is dealing the best with NASCAR's new rules package and which drivers have the best chemistry with their crew chiefs and pit crews, we narrowed the market choices to a total of 10.These are the guys who bear close watching in the coming weeks, but whose current situations already have made it clear what kind of action their stock deserves at the moment. One who obviously is on the rise is Atlanta race winner Jimmie Johnson, the six-time Cup champion.Brant James of USA Today wrote: "Johnson's first victory of the season doesn't necessarily signal that his No. 48 Chevrolet team has remedied the ills that plagued it in a frustrating 2014. But it sure felt like the good old days for driver and crew chief. Fast car from (crew chief Chad) Knaus, superlative driving by Johnson, big trophy."See what should be done to the stock of some other top drivers.Begin Slideshow
