NASCAR's Biggest Disappointments So Far

Some of the biggest names in NASCAR have struggled out of the gate to start the 2015 season. Here's a list of drivers who need to get going in a hurry.

5. Carl Edwards

Of everyone on this list, Carl Edwards seems to be the closest to turning it around. Edwards has had speed in his first five races in the Joe Gibbs No. 19 car, but what he hasn't had are finishes. Through five races Edwards hasn't recorded a top 10, much less a top-five finish and currently sits in a tie for 16th in points with Jamie McMurray.

4. Clint Bowyer

Michael Waltrip Racing hasn't been the same since the fiasco at Richmond a couple of seasons ago, and Clint Bowyer has suffered the most. Bowyer finished seventh in the Daytona 500, but he hasn't been better than 21st at Las Vegas since and has led just one lap all season. He is currently 20th in the standings, five points behind the 16th-place tie between Edwards and McMurray.

3. Greg Biffle

Speaking of organizations that haven't been the same in a while, none fits that description more than Roush Fenway Racing. Greg Biffle is the veteran of the three-car stable with youngsters Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Trevor Bayne trying to find their way. Biffle finished 10th at Daytona but has three finishes of 25th or worse since. He sits in 21st in the standings, two points behind Bowyer.

2. Jeff Gordon

Like Edwards, Gordon's problem hasn't been speed so far, it's been finishes. Bad luck led to 33rd and 41st-place finishes to start the season, but with a ninth and 10th in the past two weeks, Gordon seems poised to break out of the early-season slump. Don't expect him to stay on this list much longer. Gordon is currently one point behind Biffle in 22nd.

1. Tony Stewart

Unfortunately for Tony Stewart fans, this contest isn't even close. How bad has Stewart been? Consider Kurt Busch has run two races and is 20 points ahead of Stewart who, oh by the way, owns Busch's car. How Kevin Harvick and Busch have had so much speed and Stewart has been so awful is head scratching. Last week's 14th-place finish was Stewart's first above 30th, and he's 31st in points, 58 behind Edwards and McMurray.
