After 18 rounds of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Championship, the regular season Championship standings have closed in at the top.
Even though the race winner from the USA Today 301 was Christopher Bell the #20 finds himself outside of the top five as it stands and is in sixth place overall.
At the top of the standings, Kyle Larson is back in control of the Championship. However, breathing down his neck is Chase Elliott who is on level points as the #5 in his #9 car.
Denny Hamlin remains in third place as he is a further 40 points behind Larson and Elliott after a few bad weekends for the #11 team.
A week after announcing that he will be retiring from full-time driving at the end of the 2024 season Martin Truex Jr has moved up to fourth overall. Just behind Truex Jr is Tyler Reddick in fifth place.
William Byron has dropped three places over this weekend as he has fallen from fourth to seventh in the space of one race. Ryan Blaney has also fallen down the order as the reigning Cup Series Champion has moved from seventh to eighth.
Ross Chastain and Brad Keselowski round out the top ten in ninth and tenth. The #1 and #6 cars have swapped places in the Championship this weekend.
