Shane van Gisbergen may not have had a great season to write home about through the opening 15 races of his NASCAR Cup Series rookie campaign, but after a triumph in Sunday's Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course, the New Zealander now has two wins over the last four races.

RESULTS: Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course

With the win, van Gisbergen has further strengthened his potential Playoff run as he is up to 11 Playoff Points.

William Byron continues to hold the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season point lead, but with a last-place finish due to clutch issues on the opening lap of Sunday's race in Chicago, Byron's lead has diminished massively.

Chase Elliott has clawed to within 13 points of Byron for the point lead following a 16th-place finish in the Street Race, while Kyle Larson is just 19 points back with a 13th-place run on Sunday afternoon.

Here are the updated 2025 NASCAR Cup Series point standings after the Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course, the 19th race of the 26-race NASCAR Cup Series regular season, and the 36-race season.
