Team Penske driver DEMOTED as star sits on MINUS points after COTA

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series standings have seen a big shakeup following Sunday's race at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA).

Leaving Austin, Texas, Team Penske star Ryan Blaney has lost his spot at the top of the standings. Blaney had managed to sit on top despite not winning any races this season so far, but he has now been demoted to second following a 19th-place finish at COTA.

Taking his place at the top of the standings is William Byron, with a second place at COTA adding to his already impressive tally, partly owing to his dramatic victory in the Daytona 500 last month.

COTA race winner Christopher Bell, meanwhile, has claimed a whopping 22 places after his win on Sunday, now sitting on 95 points overall.

Elsewhere, right at the bottom of the table remains Chase Briscoe, following his brutal NASCAR punishment after a Daytona rule violation.

Watch this space, however, as he and his team have appealed, with the case set to be heard on Wednesday.

With all of that said, let's take a look at the latest standings in full.
