Complete NASCAR Cup points standings after Iowa 2026

With just three races left in the regular season, Denny Hamlin holds a 103-point lead, but there's a surprising new name in second. After a big win in Iowa, Ty Gibbs jumped up from fourth, leaping over Tyler Reddick and Ryan Blaney. There is just 17 points between those three drivers in the battle for P2, with a lot of bonus points on the line once the Chase resets.

The biggest mover in the championship standings was runner-up finisher Christopher Bell, vaulting four positions up the standings from tenth to sixth. In contrast, the biggest loser was Carson Hocevar, who dropped three positions from fifth to eighth after battling engine gremlins all day.
