Way-too-early 2019 Team Power Rankings

A total of 17 teams are set to compete with at least one full-time driver in the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season. How do they stack up against one another?

Of the 15 teams that competed with at least one full-time driver in the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season, 14 are set to return to the series in the 2019 season and compete with at least one full-time driver.

This is the case because of the fact that Furniture Row Racing, which fielded the #78 Toyota that was driven full-time by Martin Truex Jr., shut down after the 2018 season come to a close.

Meanwhile, StarCom Racing, which competed full-time in the 2018 season but did so without a full-time driver, are set to have a full-time driver, Landon Cassill, in the 2019 season.

Also, Obaika Racing, which competed in three races at the end of the 2018 season, their first three career Cup Series races, are set to compete full-time in the 2019 season. They are set to field the #97 Toyota, which is set to be driven full-time by Tanner Berryhill.

Finally, Spire Sports + Entertainment, which have never competed in the Cup Series before, are set to compete full-time in the 2019 season. They are set to field the #77 Chevrolet, but they have not yet confirmed who the driver of this car will be.

How do the sport’s 17 full-time teams stack up against one another? Here are the way-too-early NASCAR Cup Series Team Power Rankings for the 2019 season.
