Larson has erased a 55-point deficit to take a one-point lead on top-seeded Denny Hamlin heading into a stretch of three 1.5-mile ovals where Larson has excelled. He has three wins apiece at Kansas Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the next two tracks on the Cup circuit.

Even-Year Logano is at it again. With a win at Bristol, he remains set, while Ryan Blaney's post-race fistfight illustrates his Power Rankings freefall.
