Denny Hamlin DEMOTED after Mexico City as popular NASCAR star profits

Denny Hamlin DEMOTED after Mexico City as popular NASCAR star profits

Denny Hamlin profile

The latest NASCAR Cup Series standings are in following Sunday's race at Mexico City, with Denny Hamlin on the fall.

The Joe Gibbs Racing star had moved up to third position overall following his win at Michigan earlier this month. However, the driver of the No. 11 decided not to travel to Mexico for this past weekend's event due to family reasons.

As a result of this, Hamlin has seen two drivers climb above him in the latest Cup Series standings, with the driver of the No. 11 suffering a double demotion, falling from third spot to fifth.

One driver to profit from his absence is the Cup Series' most popular driver, Chase Elliott, who has climbed from fifth to fourth following his stellar performance in Mexico City (3rd).

Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell has also leapfrogged the driver of the No. 11 following his second-place finish in Mexico, with the driver of the No. 20 now sitting third overall in the standings behind only Kyle Larson in second and William Byron on top.

Elsewhere, one notable riser following Sunday's race was Michael McDowell. The driver of the No. 71 has moved up seven spots overall from 23rd to 16th following Sunday's race, now above the playoff cut-off line following a fifth-place finish that also saw him collect plenty of stage points along the way.

Kyle Busch, meanwhile, has fallen below the cut-off line, dropping three spots to 18th overall after his race in Mexico City was cut short due to a lap-seven wreck.

Of course, we must also mention that Sunday's race winner, Shane van Gisbergen, has now locked himself into the 2025 playoffs with his victory, despite still sitting way down in 30th position overall.

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