By the end of September, 146 drivers from ChampCar, IndyCar, Formula One, NASCAR, NHRA, and World Rally have qualified for inclusion in The Speed Blog Driver Rankings.

After several months at the top, this month Jeff Gordon is bumped by team-mate Jimmie Johnson while Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa and World Rally star Marcus Gronholm drop out of the Top 10.

Here are the Top 10 Drivers at the end of September:

1. Jimmie Johnson (NASCAR)
2. Jeff Gordon (NASCAR)
3. Lewis Hamilton (F1)
4. Scott Dixon (IRL)
5. Dario Franchitti (IRL)
6. Tony Stewart (NASCAR)
7. Fernando Alonso (F1)
8. Denny Hamlin (NASCAR)
9. Kimi Raikonen (F1)
10. Tony Kanaan (IRL)

Positions are calculated based on championship race results and number of events participated in each month. These are then added together and normalized for the year to date totals.
