With competition in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season ramping up, drivers and teams get ever closer and more anxious about their post-season playoffs chances.

With the highest echelon of the sport filled with generational talents such as Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch, along with methodical drivers such as Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr., there is no scope for a driver to let his gaurd down.

Not to mention the rest of the field, consisting of drivers who might not have the best machinery underneath them to win necessarily on pure pace. These drivers are also always on the look out for slip-ups from the leading few, along with lady luck swinging the odds in their favor.

Drivers such as Martin Truex Jr. making his way back to the top and visiting Victory Lane recently begs the avid fan to wonder of the stats of these current challengers. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver recently managed to break a winless streak in the sport that lastest 54 races.

With the NASCAR Next Gen Cup car still managing to bring parity to the playing feild along with its nuances, it remains to be seen who comes out on top this year.

Early season predictions have analysts favoring Trackhouse Racing's Ross Chastain, who currently leads the drivers standings table with the most points to his name. However, if one is familiar with NASCAR, he/she knows anything an everything can change in this sport.
