Denny Hamlin DEMOTED after Las Vegas penalty as Nevada nightmare sees star plummet

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series standings have seen another major shakeup following Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — the Pennzoil 400.

After an eventful race full of penalties and cautions, it was Josh Berry who took the black and white checkered flag to secure his first-ever win in the Cup Series. As a result, the Wood Brothers Racing star shot up eight places in the standings and now sits 13th.

Elsewhere, though, there were some big fallers, with Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch the most notable of those. Hamlin was one of the drivers to be hit with a penalty during the race, sent to the back of the field for a pit road speeding violation, and eventually finishing 25th. Hamlin has fallen in the standings as a result, demoted five spots as his rivals rose.

Meanwhile, Busch was also given a similar penalty and sent to the back of the order in stage one, and then in stage two, lost one of his wheels, which left him 34 laps down heading into the final stage of the race. The No. 8 car finished 35 laps down in the end and as such, falls a whopping nine places in the standings this week.

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