To be honest, the goal of every driver in the NASCAR Cup Series is to end the season as the champion.
That said, they all want to finish at the top of the standings in the regular season, too, partly for bragging rights but also because the driver that lands on top gets some bonus points to start the playoffs with.

My Cup Series Analysis
Whether those 15 points will actually make any difference in the end remains to be seen, but extra points certainly don’t hurt.
Right now, we have a pair of drivers, both former champions, sitting on the exact same number of points, and a handful more within striking distance.
The final few weeks are going to be fun to watch, and it all begins on Sunday in Nashville with the Ally 400.
^Kyle Larson NASCAR Lines +390
As mentioned at the top of this piece, Larson is tied for top spot with Chase Elliott, but he gets the official #1 standing due to the fact that he has run 1 race fewer than the rest of the pack.
He comes into this one on the heels of a top 5 finish last weekend, which was a nice bounce back from a poor showing the week prior. Larson already has 3 wins this season and has to be seen as a solid bet to win again.
He has landed in the top 5 in each of the last 2 races in Nashville, while winning this race in the 2021 season. A top 3 bet looks to be a good way to go with Larson this weekend.
^Denny Hamlin NASCAR Lines +530
Do you take the chance or wait until he shows signs of breaking out of the slump? Hamlin finished in the top 3 in this race last weekend, but I am still adopting a wait and see attitude.
^Christopher Bell NASCAR Lines +690
I am very much of the opinion that drivers have definite track preferences. You look at Bell’s win in New Hampshire last weekend as the perfect example, as he has now won there in 2 of the last 3 seasons.
What does that mean for him in Nashville this weekend? Well, he has been consistent on this track, landing in the top 10 in 3 straight seasons.
The question now is whether the safe bet is to take him for another tip 10 or to wager on him perhaps cracking the top 5 or 3.
^Ross Chastain NASCAR Lines +710
As it stands at the moment, Chastain finds himself down in the #9 spot in the driver standings and still looking for his first win of the season.
This is eerily similar to how things went for him last season, where he finally broke his goose egg with a win in, you guessed it, Nashville.
Can history repeat itself on Sunday? That’s a tough question, but since he has not been outside the top 5 in his last 4 runs on this track, he looks like a very good bet to me.
