Ryan Blaney is on a hot streak with two wins in the past five weeks. He's rising up the rankings as a result, but did he make it to No. 1?
Denny Hamlin remains in the top spot as he finally snapped a streak of five races where he didn't finish in the top 10 despite performances where he was very good or great at moments but did not get the corresponding result. The NASCAR Cup Series now heads to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the return of the Brickyard 400, the first time Cup drivers will have raced on the famed 2.5-mile oval since 2019. For the past three years, the IMS race was held on the road course.
He has shown speed — he started in the top-10 in his last four races there — but has just one top-10, a seventh in 2019. 4. Tyler Reddick Reddick has just one Cup start on the Indy oval. He was eighth as a rookie driving for Richard Childress Racing in 2020. 5. Kyle Larson Larson's first three Cup starts on the IMS oval resulted in solid finishes — seventh, ninth and fifth. Then his next three included two crashes and a best finish of 14th.
