Was Denny Hamlin's victory at Bristol enough to unseat Kyle Larson atop this week's rankings? Check out the updated top-10 drivers.
Finishing a lap down in a race might have a big impact on a driver moving up or down on this list. But not so after Bristol. Only five drivers finished on the lead lap Sunday, the fewest since Dover in June 2024. Kyle Larson, who finished fifth despite a pit-road penalty after his crew let a tire get away from them during a pit stop in the final stage, remains atop the list.
The JGR driver should be one of the favorites on road courses this year. 6. Ty Gibbs Gibbs is having a great sophomore season, although he still seeks his first career victory. Could it come on a road course? For sure. Many analysts believe he is on the brink of a victory, and he is a stout road-course racer. He had four top-10s, including a fourth at the Charlotte road course, last year. 7. William Byron Byron has one road-course win, coming at Watkins Glen last year.
