With 120 points to his credit, he is tied with William Byron for third on this list, but we will give him the tiebreaker because he’s scored points in one more stage. Chastain has been strong from start to finish with three stage wins to his credit and top-five finishes on 12 occasions. Ross Chastain has been one of the top performers this year as Trackhouse Racing is establishing themselves as a powerhouse. That allows him to roll the dice, which is precisely what he did last week to win Stage 2 at Sonoma Raceway. With two wins to his credit, Logano is officially locked into the playoffs.
Logano has two stage wins to his credit and he’s come in second twice, but he has the distinction of earning points the most times in 23 times of a possible 33. 9 team.Įlliott does not have much of a lead over Joey Logano, who was one of the top performers in this category over the past two seasons. What may prove to be a little frustrating when the final points are tallied is that he finished second in five stages and that could come back to haunt the No. His three stage wins at Charlotte Motor Speedway and both of the first two stages of Martinsville Speedway give him a slight advantage over everyone except Blaney – and for now, the No.
STAGE PRESENCE DRIVERS
Seven drivers have banked more than 100 points to their championship total, however, so there is a difference between the haves and have nots in that regard.Įlliott currently leads the series in points earned with 136.
So far, 16 drivers have won stages, so those points are evenly distributed. If Blaney qualifies for the playoffs, he has four bonus points available to him for winning stages and with the playoff grid shrinking from 16 to 12 to eight to four, advancing from one round to another can come down to a single point.Ĭhase Elliott, Ross Chastain, William Byron, and Truex have won three stages and look to add to that tally in the next 10 events, which features 20 chances to win one of these valuable points.
And then there is the ever-important playoff point that goes to the winner of each stage.
