23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick saw his two-race win "drought" come to an end at Darlington Raceway a week ago, giving him four wins in six races to start the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.
The driver of the No. 45 Toyota, who won three races in a row to start the year, is the only driver who has spent time atop the point standings this season, and regardless of the result of Sunday afternoon's Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway, that won't change.
It won't change next week either, as the Cup Series is set for its first off weekend of the season due to the Easter holiday, meaning that Reddick is guaranteed to hold the points lead up until at least the race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday, April 12.
And given the fact that he holds a 95-point lead over Team Penske's Ryan Blaney in the standings, he's likely to be leading after that one as well.
Here is how the top 10 stack up in points heading into Sunday's Cook Out 400.
