The NASCAR Cup Series has had the same points leader throughout the first 10 races<\/a> of the 2026 season, that being 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick. Reddick has won five of those 10 races, including three in a row to kick things off after a winless 2025.<\/p>\n

No matter what happens in Sunday’s Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, the driver of the No. 45 Toyota is guaranteed to be the points leader heading into next weekend’s race at Watkins Glen International as well.<\/p>\n

Reddick, the only driver with more than one win in 2026, owns a 110-point advantage over Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, and there are 75 points available at Texas. He can technically clinch the lead even beyond Watkins Glen in Sunday’s Texas race.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the top 10 in points heading into Sunday afternoon’s 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Fort Worth, Texas oval.<\/p>\n
