After 450 laps of racing at North Wilkesboro, Joey Logano secured his first win of the 2026 season, and jumped back above the Chase cut-line with a huge points day.
At the very top of the standings, Denny Hamlin extended his advantage after a mid-race incident for Tyler Reddick and a late-race speeding penalty for Ryan Blaney. Hamlin now holds a 68-point lead over Reddick, with Blaney 87 points behind. Blaney has also mathematically locked himself into the Chase along with Reddick and Hamlin.
