7. Daniel Hemric – 2,010 points

Don’t be fooled by Daniel Hemric being the seventh seed coming into the playoffs: he’s done everything but win this season. Two poles, 12 top fives and 16 top 10s, along with four stage wins, left him fifth in regular season points. He’s a real threat to go rounds in the playoffs. He just needs to crack victory lane and then he’ll be a likely choice to make the final four.
