Another NASCAR Cup Series race week, another week of 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick being atop the point standings.

And because he’s on top by a lot, it’s yet another week guaranteed to end with the driver of the No. 45 Toyota atop the point standings, regardless of Sunday’s race result.

With a 122-point lead over Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, Reddick, who has led the standings since opening up the season with a Daytona 500 victory, cannot mathematically lose the lead in Sunday night’s Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, as only 75 points are available in a standard three-stage race.

Here’s how the top 10 drivers in the standings stack up before Sunday’s 300-lap race around the four-turn, 1.333-mile (2.145-kilometer) Lebanon, Tennessee oval.
