Regular Season Standings and Playoff Picture

With seven different winners in the first seven races, here are the drivers currently locked into the playoffs via a race victory: Austin Cindric (Daytona), Kyle Larson (Fontana), Alex Bowman (Las Vegas), Chase Briscoe (Phoenix), William Byron (Atlanta), Ross Chastain (COTA), and Denny Hamlin (Richmond).

Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott are currently tied for the points lead in the regular season standings, but they are ranked eighth and ninth in the playoff standings as they remain winless. 

Although Austin Dillon sits 16th, he is actually outside the playoffs after Hamlin, ranked 20th, won at Richmond and jumped into the playoffs.
