Kurt Busch falls eight spots to 19th place and is the week’s biggest loser.  The aforementioned Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson all fall on the biggest losers list, too.

Kyle Larson (up seven spots to 13th place) is the biggest mover of the week.  Greg Biffle, Joey Logano and Clint Bowyer also land on the list of biggest movers this week.
