HAMPTON, Ga. - Another crazy drafting track race at Atlanta Motor Speedway left a couple Hendrick Motorsports cars battered after Sunday night's race.

But yet, all four of the organization's teams find themselves in great position in terms of the NASCAR Cup Series standings through two events of the 2025 season.

William Byron, who opened the points-paying season with a win in the DAYTONA 500, remained in second while Kyle Larson catapulted from 24th to a tie for sixth thanks to a third-place showing and a stage win on Sunday. Alex Bowman sits in ninth place and Chase Elliott, who won the Clash on Feb. 2, sits 10th.

Here's a look at the NASCARpoints standings as the series is set to head to Circuit of the Americas next week:
