Matt Kenseth maintains the NASCAR Power Rankings lead after his sixth consecutive top ten finish.  Jimmie Johnson is in second place, followed by Greg Biffle in third, Dale Earnhardt Jr. in fourth and Kevin Harvick in fifth place.

Tony Stewart is this week’s biggest mover after his second consecutive top five finish.  Clint Bowyer and Marcos Ambrose also had strong weeks at Michigan.

On the flip side, Kyle Busch is this week’s biggest loser after failing to finish in the top twenty for the third consecutive week.  Busch now sits in ninth place and is in danger of falling out of the top ten.  Kasey Kahne also lost two spots in the latest 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
