The latest NASCAR Cup Series standings are in following Saturday's race at Atlanta, and they do not make for great reading for Joe Gibbs Racing.
Denny Hamlin has been demoted in the latest standings from third to fourth overall after being involved in a huge wreck that as many as 18 drivers were caught up in, whilst elsewhere, Christopher Bell has also fallen from fourth to fifth overall after an earlier wreck during Saturday's race.

They are not the only JGR stars to drop, however, with both Chase Briscoe and Ty Gibbs also falling one place in the standings overall following the Atlanta race, now sitting 10th and 24th, respectively.
Elsewhere, at this stage of the season, all eyes are on the playoff standings, and following Chase Elliott's victory on Saturday, he is now locked into the postseason, with just four spots remaining up for grabs via points.
And, elsewhere, whilst Tyler Reddick is looking somewhat comfortable at present with a healthy buffer to the cut line, his teammate Bubba Wallace is now 16th and right on the bubble following his 22nd-place finish on Saturday, with just 23 points separating himself and Ryan Preece outside the top 16.
With that said, let's take a look at the latest regular season and playoff standings in full!
