NASCAR Cup Series Point Standings After Michigan
Even a 28th-place finish after running out of fuel coming to the white flag in Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway couldn't wipe out much of William Byron's NASCAR Cup Series point lead.
RESULTS: FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan
Despite Kyle Larson finishing the race in the fifth position, Byron only gave up seven of his 48-point lead, which puts him at 41 points ahead of Larson with 11 races remaining in the regular season. Byron was able to maintain his point lead thanks to piling up 19 Stage Points.
Denny Hamlin moved past his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate to take over the third-place spot in the championship standings on the strength of his third win of the season, which came in Sunday's race. Hamlin now sits 82 points behind Byron for the point lead. Bell, who finished 16th at Michigan, is now 96 points back in fourth.
