2025 NASCAR Cup Series Standings
No change at the top heading into Mexico City, as William Byron still leads the field with 576 points. He led the most laps and won Stage 2 last week, but finished 28th. Kyle Larson remains in second with 535 points after finishing fifth. Denny Hamlin catapulted into fourth place with his third win of the season. Christopher Bell and Chase Elliott round out the top five.
Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain, Joey Logano, and Bubba Wallace are the guys rounding out the top 10, with Chastain and Logano flipped from last week.
The race winners so far are Byron, Larson (3), Bell (3), Hamlin (3), Blaney, Chastain, Logano, Austin Cindric, and Josh Berry through 15 points races with 16 playoff spots in total up for grabs and nine taken by race winners as of now. That means some winners may not make it, if they don’t have enough points relative to other race winners.
