Complete NASCAR Cup points standings after 2026 Bristol spring race

After 500 laps of racing at Bristol Motor Speedway, Ryan Blaney has moved closer to the points lead, now 62 markers behind Tyler Reddick, who has led the standings all year.

After earning his first career win, Ty Gibbs has jumped up to fourth in the standings. 

After a mid-race crash, Shane van Gisbergen has fallen to the Chase cut line, and is just one-point clear of Chase Briscoe.

The biggest mover in the points this week was Briscoe, who finished fifth and moved from 21st to 17th. Brad Keselowski was the biggest loser, dropping from eighth to 11th.
