Best as in best driver, not best equipment, right? That's what I'm going off of. Everyone gets a Hendrick # 48 chevy.
For me, my top 10 would be:
1. Kyle Busch
2. Tony Stewart
3. Greg Biffle
4. Mark Martin (I agree with you on this one. Certainly)
5. Jeff Gordon (See, he's on there! Even though I hate him)
6. Matt Kenseth
7. Denny Hamlin
8. Kurt Busch
9. Carl Edwards
10. Jimmie Johnson
Just misses: Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, David Reutimann, Brian Vickers.
EDITED: Where would the #48 Hendrick chevy be without Chad Knaus?
I change my #10 from Jimmie to Brian Vickers. Jimmie falls to Vickers' spot.

Jeff Gordon
Jimmie Johnson
Brian Vickers
Kyle Busch
Kasey Kahne
Joey Logano
Kurt Busch
Carl Edwards
Matt Kenseth
Mark Martin

Y-------because this is the current top 10

Criteria: I’m NOT looking for the following: Potential, Raw Talent, Fan Friendliness, Personal Favorites, Past Accomplishments (unless it’s someone that can still deliver). I’m also not interested in: “If so and so were just on a different team, then…..”

Bottom Line: The 10 drivers today who represent the best that NASCAR Sprint Cup racing has to offer. The NASCAR Category of Yahoo Answers has a lot of knowledgeable fans and I am really interested in their sincere opinions on who they feel represent the cream of the sport.

My Picks: (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER. )
Top 9 Tony Stewart, Mark Martin (still), Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle, Matt Kennseth, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson

Okay that took 30 seconds, but I’m struggling with #10: Jeff Burton, Denny Hamlin, Dale Jr & Kasey Kahne are on my short list. I almost put Ryan Newman on the short list, but I need to see a whole season from him.

I'm not really sure what you're asking.. The top ten drivers in NASCAR?? Based on what?? This year?? Over all?? Not in order..
Johnson, Gordon, Edwards, Kenseth, Harvick, Burton, Montoya, Reutimann, Stewart, Newman..
If you just want this year, we would be having a very small field for the Chase.. The only ones to earn it so far, are Gorden Johnson, Stewart, Kenseth, and Martin..

Tony Stewart
Brad Keselowski
Joey Logano
AJ Allmendinger
Max Papis
Brian Vickers
Carl Edwards
Jamie McMurray
Dave Blaney
Sterling Marlin or Mike Bliss, whoever's the official McCouskee team dude.

Jeff Gordon
Kasey Kahne
Jimmy Johnson
Tony Stewart
Brian Vickers
Carl Edwards
Kyle Busch
Kurt Busch
Matt Kennesth
Joey Logano

Brian Vickers
Scott Speed
Jeff Burton
Kevin Harvick
David Reutimann
Marcos Ambrose
AJ Allmendinger
Casey Mears
Jimmie Johnson
Jeff Gordon

Kenseth, Biffle, Edwards, Stewart, Johnson, Kyle Busch,Jeff Gordon,Newman,Martin

Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Brian Vickers, Juan Montoya, Kasey Kahne, and finally David Reutimann

Top 3- Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards because if their cars are running, you can never count them out. Solid performers- Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton. It really hurts me to leave Kasey Kahne out, but because of the rotten cars they have given him for most of the season, I cannot include him. We are seeing a marked improvement over the last couple of races. But since you qualify it with so far this season without changes needed or sentimentality, I'm stuck.

1. Kyle Busch - Raw Talent and potential...personal favorite
2. Juan Pablo Montoya - Aggressiveness
3. Kurt Busch - Dodge driver
4. Carl Edwards - Very talented, can win in anything (Raw talent)
5. Jeff Gordon - Popularity, and a legend
6. Jimmie Johnson - 3x champion in a row
7. Greg Biffle - Can drive a loose race car (talent)
8. Denny Hamlin - Raw Talent, Potential
9. Tony Stewart - Same as Edwards
10. Mark Martin - Old man still can win, and it's fun to see him against the younger guys

that's so cute!
a mini-chase
i'm still laughing
hold on...children plays
