Kevin Harvick won for the second consecutive week, taking the checkered flag at Martinsville this past Sunday.  With the win, Harvick made one of the biggest jumps in our latest NASCAR Power Rankings.  He moves from seventh to third place in the latest poll.

Kyle Busch remains on top, followed by Jimmie Johnson and the aforementioned Harvick.  Carl Edwards and Ryan Newman round out this week’s top five.

Jamie McMurray made the biggest jump of the week, moving up eight spots.

Here’s how the entire group stacks up.  

Note the snazzy new section featuring “Biggest Movers” and “Biggest Losers”, which outlines the drivers that made the biggest move over the last race.
