Following Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway, we’ve officially hit the halfway point in the 26-race regular season. And through the first 13 races, there have been 11 different winners with William Byron and Ross Chastain as the lone repeat winners so far.
And all those winners can breathe a little and look ahead to the playoffs beginning in September.
The top-16 drivers in the standings after the regular season — which ends at Daytona International Speedway in August — will advance to the 10-race playoffs.
