After the 23rd race of the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season, how do the sport’s 15 full-time teams stack up against one another?
Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick delivered Stewart-Haas Racing their ninth victory of the 36-race 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season in the Consumers Energy 400, which was the 23rd race of the season, at Michigan International Speedway.
Harvick’s victory in the 200-lap race around the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Michigan International Speedway oval in Brooklyn, Michigan moved Stewart-Haas Racing to two victories ahead of the next closest team to them in the wins category so far this season, as teammate Clint Bowyer has earned two victories himself so far in 2018.
The only two other teams with multiple victories so far this season are Joe Gibbs Racing and Furniture Row Racing. The former currently sit two victories behind Stewart-Haas Racing with seven victories, and the latter currently sit five victories behind Stewart-Haas Racing with four.

Just three other teams have been able to secure one victory so far this season. Those three teams are Richard Childress Racing, Team Penske and Hendrick Motorsports.
Among teams without a victory through the first 23 races of the 2018 season, Chip Ganassi Racing are by far the most notable. They had a four-win season last season, and all four of those victories were earned by Kyle Larson in the regular season, yet they still haven’t won a race this year with just three races to go in the regular season.
