Byron, Larson, With Significant Value

William Byron should be missed up on either. He finished last season with three wins and 11 top-5 finishes. He was also finished the season as one of four drivers with 5k+ points. Thus far this season, he’s earned himself a second place finish.

Just behind Byron, we’re eying the reigning 2025 Cup Series champion, Kyle Larson. He finished with the most points, three wins, 15 top-5 wins, and 22 top-10 wins. That said, it’s only a matter of time before he comes out on top, and when better than the biggest race of the year?
