The latest 2025 NASCAR Cup Series standings are in after a dramatic race at Kansas, but it's bad news for William Byron.

Kyle Larson took the win at the Kansas Speedway, smashing the record for Cup Series laps led in a single race at the track on his way to claiming both stage victories as well as the race.

That 61-point performance, coupled with Byron's 13-point day, put Larson top of the regular season standings for the first time this year in some style, some 35 points ahead of the Daytona 500 winner.

Kansas runner-up Christopher Bell sits third in the standings 50 points behind Byron, followed by Chase Elliott (six points further back) and Ryan Blaney (16 points back from Elliott).

With that said, let's take a look at the latest Cup Series standings in full.
