Hendrick Motorsports star loses top spot after William Byron win at Iowa

Hendrick Motorsports star loses top spot after William Byron win at Iowa

NASCAR driver William Byron

After a frantic 350 laps of action at Iowa Speedway on Sunday, the latest NASCAR Cup Series standings are in.

There has been a big change at the top, too, with Hendrick Motorsports star Chase Elliott losing top spot following his teammate William Byron's victory.

NASCAR HEADLINES: Denny Hamlin makes controversial claim as Joe Gibbs Racing star set for team switch

After his second win of the season, Byron himself is the man who has replaced Elliott at the top of the standings, and is now 18 points clear of his teammate with three regular season races to go and the regular season championship within touching distance.

Another Hendrick Motorsports driver, Kyle Larson, sits third in the standings, but 45 points behind Byron at this stage, with Joe Gibbs Racing duo Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell rounding out the top five, 51 and 86 points adrift of the top, respectively.

Of course, at this point of the season, all eyes are also on the playoff race and who will make the cut come the black and white checkered flag at Daytona.

At this stage, 13 drivers are currently locked in, with 23XI star Tyler Reddick holding a healthy points total that should also see him make it.

Elsewhere, Hendrick Motorsports' Alex Bowman is 63 points above the cut line after Iowa, with Chris Buescher just 23 points above it in the last points position.

Ryan Preece (-23), Kyle Busch (-71), Ty Gibbs (-87) and any other drivers harboring ambitions of pointing their way in are running out of time.

Of course, a win over the next three races would guarantee any driver not locked into the playoffs a spot in the postseason, and it will certainly be interesting to see how it all plays out for the rest of this month.

With all of that said, you can see the full regular season and playoff standings after Iowa below.
