2024 NASCAR Cup Series standings after the Cook Out 400

The eighth round of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series saw the second overtime finish of the season at the historic Martinsville Speedway.

After serious debate over whether last week's race win in overtime was legitimate, there was no doubt that William Byron deserved his overtime win last night.

The 26-year-old claimed his third win of the season and propelled himself up on the Championship table.

At the top of the table, Martin Truex Jr lost the lead of the Championship after finishing 18th last night and has dropped back to second. Despite his team-mate being the race winner it was Kyle Larson, who finished second, who now controls the Championship as he takes top spot.

Two-time race winner this season, Denny Hamlin, stays in his third-place spot in the standings.

Byron jumped up three spots in the Championship with his race win last night and now finds himself in fourth place.

The top Ford in the Championship is Ryan Blaney who still sits in fifth place after finishing fifth place last night.

Chase Elliotts' third place finish last night was enough to put him two places further up the order as he rises from eighth to sixth overall.

Ty Gibbs’ bad run of form continues as he plummets down the order from fourth to seventh after finishing outside of the 15 last night.

Ross Chastain solidifies his top ten as he moves up into eighth place from ninth. Tyler Reddick also climbs up one place as he moves from tenth to ninth, with Alex Bowman rounding out the top ten in the standings.

Outside of the top ten, the biggest mover was the #41 car of Ryan Preece who moved up the order by five places thanks to his ninth place finish last night. The Ford driver is now 26th overall in the standings.
