Kyle Busch maintains a strong NASCAR Power Rankings lead over Carl Edwards, with Kurt Busch closing in on second place.  Kurt Busch remains in third place, followed by Jimmie Johnson in fourth position and Matt Kenseth in fifth.

Juan Pablo Montoya, David Ragan, Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick are the biggest losers of the week.  Montoya leads the way (so to speak) by dropping three spots to 20th place.  Ragan falls two slots.

Brad Keselowski’s win at Pocono makes him this week’s biggest mover, as he moves up three spots for the second straight week.  Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Ryan Newman all also had strong weeks at Pocono, each jumping a slot in the rankings.

The Wife Hates Sports has vowed to get more involved with NASCAR, and that’s why I am proud to introduce Bill Schneider, who will present his NASCAR power ratings on a weekly basis.  I know you will see his ratings system as unique and different than the rest.  He also infuses stats and involves recent results during the NASCAR season. – Kevin Paul
