Which NASCAR Cup Series teams rank where following the 13th race of the 2018 season, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway?
The 13th race of the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, is in the books, meaning the regular season is halfway over and the playoff race is about to really begin to heat up.
Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch won the Coca-Cola 600 at the four-turn, 1.5-mile quad oval in Concord, North Carolina in dominant fashion in his #18 Toyota, as he only failed to lead 23 of the race’s 400 laps.
With 377 laps led, Busch led the race for 565.5 miles, which is the second highest total of all-time behind Martin Truex Jr.’s total from two years ago when he led 392 of the race’s 400 laps for 588 miles.

Busch’s win delivered Joe Gibbs Racing their fourth victory of the season, and Busch has been responsible for each of those four victories, which account for 80% of the victories of the Toyota teams so far this season. Furniture Row Racing have the other win by a Toyota team so far this season thanks to Martin Truex Jr.’s victory at Fontana.
Only Stewart-Haas Racing have more wins that Joe Gibbs Racing do with six. Aside of those two teams, only three other teams have won a race so far this season, and they have all won just one race. As referenced above, Furniture Row Racing are one of those teams, and the other two are Richard Childress Racing and Team Penske.
