Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings after Dover

Jimmie Johnson picked up the win in overtime and further cemented his spot on the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings.

The seven-time champion isn’t slowing down anytime soon. On Sunday, Jimmie Johnson became the first driver on the season to win three races, as he took the victory in overtime at the 2017 Drive For Autism 400. It had a big effect on the NASCAR Cup Series standings.

This season’s most consistent driver, Kyle Larson, was well on his way to the win until a late wreck brought everyone back together. Larson couldn’t get the line on Johnson on the restart and it allowed for the No. 48 to take the lead.

After a wreck occurred right after, Johnson had the win thanks to being past the overtime line. With the win Johnson is at the top of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings. With the most wins, he moves to No. 1.

Martin Truex Jr. has the most points overall and he picked up two more stage wins on Sunday. Truex Jr. continues to rack up stage wins and that has allowed for him to gain a serious amount of points. Here are the official points standings after Dover.

The good news for Kyle Larson is that he’s right there with Truex Jr. A great performance next week could move him back to the top in points.
