NASCAR Cup Series Point Standings After Indianapolis
Bubba Wallace captured a career-defining win in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and with the win, he has secured his place in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs with four races remaining until they begin.
RESULTS: Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis
With the win, Wallace now has seven Playoff Points on the season, and he'll look to pad his total with more before the Playoffs begin.
Chase Elliott continues to hold the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season point lead, but he was fortunate to hang on for another week as he finished 13th in Sunday's race. William Byron scored a lot of Stage Points, and had it not been for running out of fuel on the last lap and finishing 16th, Byron would have reclaimed the point lead.
However, Elliott still holds a four-point lead over Byron, while Kyle Larson cut to within 15 points with his runner-up finish, and Denny Hamlin has pulled to within 20 points with his third-place run Sunday at Indianapolis.
Here are the updated 2025 NASCAR Cup Series point standings after the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the 22nd race of the 26-race NASCAR Cup Series regular season, and the 36-race season.
