Kurt Busch turned in a dominant performance Sunday in winning the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway. In the process, he moved past Dale Earnhardt Jr. into 12th place in the Nextel Cup standings, grabbing (at least temporarily) the final spot in the Chase.

Kyle Busch finished 12th in the race on Sunday, staying in eighth place in the standings. But Kyle made news Monday when it was announced he'd be joining Joe Gibbs Racing next year, as he had previously announced he'd be leaving Hendrick Motorsports.

Both Busch brothers figure prominantly in this week's Power Rankings.

What do you think? Will Kurt keep his Chase spot? Will Kyle thrive at JGR along side Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin? Let us know what you think.

When Juan Pablo Montoya won his first Nextel Cup rance the last time the tour came through the Poconos, many people chalked it up to his road-racing pedigree and dismissed the notion that he'd get a win on an oval this season.

Then came Sunday's second-place finish in the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis. On the strenght of that, he's fifth in this week's Power Rankings.

Does this mean Montoya's figured out the oval courses? Will he be a threat every week now? Will he win on an oval this season? And can he make the Chase?

With no Nextel Cup Series race this past weekend, we decided to forego our normal Power Rankings routine and focus on the owners.

Joe Gibbs showed his stuff a couple of weeks ago when he showed up at Chicagoland to set things straight between squabbling JGR drivers Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin. It seemed to work, as Stewart won the ensuing race, his first of the season.

Rick Hendrick has seen all four of the drivers in his charge win races this year, and has Dale Earnhardt Jr. coming aboard next season.

Richard Childress has three top-10 drivers racing for him. Jack Roush has shown the business smarts to partner with the Boston Red Sox ownership. DEI has merged with Ginn Racing.

What do you think about the current group of Nextel Cup owners? Who's the best? Who's the worst? What would like to see them do differently?

Ryan Newman sits 30 points outside the top 12 in the NASCAR Nextel Cup standings, one place below a berth in the Chase.

Greg Biffle is in 16th place in the standings, four from a Chase spot. Casey Mears is in 17th in the standing.

But all three of these drivers are included in our Power Rankings this week.

Do these guys have a shot at cracking the top 12? Should they be in the Power Rankings, whether they can make the Chase or not?

Let us know what you think.

Dale Earnhardt Junior is usually a staple in our weekly Power Rankings.

This week, he's nowhere to be found.

So what happened? Sure, he hasn't won a race in a while, and he got caught up in an accident Saturday night in Daytona, but is still he one of the 12 best drivers on the Nextel Cup circuit?

Should Junior still be in the Power Rankings? Who's in there instead of him who doesn't deserve to be?

Let us know what you think.
