NASCAR 2023: Points table after the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Three races have taken place in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season so far. Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron became the third different driver to win this season after the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, March 12.

In an action-packed Pennzoil 400, Byron took the lead on the first lap of overtime and stayed out front to cross the checkered flag in P1.

With Sunday’s victory, Byron locked in his playoff spot and gained 60 points, extending his lead over Ryan Blaney to four points. He currently stands in 13th place in the Cup Series standings and has a total of 85 points, with one win and one top-five finish.

Alex Bowman, the defending champion of the event, failed to re-lift his trophy and finished in P3. With this, he gained 46 points and stands second in the points table with 126 points.

Joey Logano, who started from the pole, had a disappointing day as he crashed into the outside wall during the third stage and eventually left the race with a damaged car. He currently sits ninth in the points table with 92 points.

After finishing in P12 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Ross Chastain stayed on top of the points table with 129 points.
