It will be a huge weekend for Bell, as he moved to the top of the Drivers’ standings after taking second in the South Point 400 last weekend. However, his advantage at the summit stands at just seven points.

Kyle Larson endured a difficult weekend after being forced to settle for eleventh, but he could move back to the summit with a victory this weekend ahead of the final two races of the season.

Joey Logano landed a second win of the playoffs at the South Point 400, and is just 25 points off the summit. William Byron continues to go under the radar after taking fourth last weekend, which was his fourth consecutive top five finish.
