Regular Season Standings and Playoff Picture
Chase Elliott finally scored his first victory of the season at Dover, beating Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Ross Chastain.
He becomes the ninth different winner this year. Denny Hamlin, 23rd in points, is locked in via his win at Richmond. Austin Cindric is in a similar situation, 18th in points, but locked in via his victory in the Daytona 500. That puts RCR’s Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick on the outside of the playoff picture.
In the playoff standings, Byron still leads everyone with 13 playoff points, followed by Chastain with 11.
