After nine races in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series, the standings are beginning to take shape. Some drivers have pulled ahead with strong results. Others are already falling behind the pace. As of April 13, Bristol Motor Speedway is complete, and the points show big changes near the top. Each race now holds more weight than before. One driver has taken the lead, but the season is far from over. Much can still change before the playoffs begin.
