We'll examine Chase Elliott, William Byron and Ross Chastain as well Martin Truex Jr. Who are the other drivers at the top of the points? Who is the favourite to win the title Who will be the next race winner?
Joe Kosiski
Joe Kosiski was the NASCAR points leaders at the conclusion the Division II races held at Oglethorpe Park Speedway Park. Shane Riner (now Eric Humphries) continue to follow Kosiski. Riner won his sixth race of the season at Oglethorpe and has seven90 points, while Humphries has 592 points. Kosiski has finally ended his long streak of poor finishes.
Kosiski, a Dodge Weekly Series champion twice over, won the division title and the NDWS championship both in 1986. He has also finished in the top five eight times, a record. He is currently at the top of points at two tracks. Shane Riner (NDWS Division II), and Pete Anderson Jr.
Shane Riner
Shane Riner is a late model driver out of Guyton in Georgia. He is one the nation's top point scorers. Riner holds a 44-point advantage over Joe Kosiski with five72 points. Both drivers have won a race in this season's series, while Kosiski has one win and ten top-five finishes. Riner still has a lot to offer. The Oglethorpe Speedway Park Late Model, one of the most recent additions to NASCAR's standings, is also available.
He is the father of McKenzie, 5 and Ashley, 14. Angeline, his wife is an attorney. But racing isn't his only interest. With his kids at his side, it's easy to see why he keeps pursuing it. His family is the reason for his team's success.
Joey Logano
Joey Logano has made a comeback despite a slow start to 2016. He won the Martinsville pole and then finished just outside the top 11. Joey Logano won Kansas' Sprint Cup All-Star Race, after two consecutive DNFs at Talladega (Kansas) and Kansas. After that, he won the FireKeepers Casino400 before taking 40th place at the Coke Zero400, winning the title at Dover.
Logano started the race in sixth position on May 13 but was quickly relegated to mid-pack following a speeding penalty, and a cut tire. He was able stay in the mid-pack the rest of race, but unfortunately crashed into Danica Pat and Aric Almirola on the last laps. Logano's post-race interview with Danica Patrick was filled by both tears and anxiety after the fiery wreck. Both drivers were badly injured.
Denny Hamlin
Denny Hamlin, who finished in the top-10 in every race this season is the obvious choice to lead the nascar point championship. He has been consistent the last few years. He won Loudon and placed fourth at New Hampshire. In his career, he has been a top-six finisher on average. His only loss of the year was a DNF in Dover that cost him his best finish.
Although Kyle Larson is a legitimate contender to win the NASCAR Cup Series championship, he has not been able to find victory lane since the last race at Kansas. Larson currently has one win and has nine17 points to Hamlin. Hamlin will not be able to play in the playoffs if Larson wins regular-season points champion.

How To
How to fast corner
In order to go faster in a race you need to get your car out from the way of other cars. This means that you need to turn before others. This will ensure that everyone behind you is unable to see what's happening ahead. This will help you avoid accidents with other cars. How do you turn fast?
First, you need to know where you're going. You'll likely end up somewhere unexpected if you don't know your destination. That's why you need to plan carefully. To see where you are going at any particular moment, make a map. It may seem like a lot of work but once you have a good idea of the route you are trying to take, you will be able to save yourself a lot later.
Next, determine when you will start turning. After you have passed the first corner, it is the best place to start. After you have passed the first corner, it will be clear where you are starting from. You now need to choose whether you will use the inside or outside lane.
If you want to move in the inside lane you should wait until there isn't any traffic. Then you'll be able to move quickly without worrying about hitting someone. However, once you get into the inside lane you must remain there. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. If you do so, you may hit someone moving slowly. Keep in mind that if you cross the line dividing the two lanes, you'll lose control of your vehicle and become vulnerable to crashes.
Once you've decided which lane you're going to use, you need to pick a spot to turn. There are many options for tackling this problem. Some people prefer to look for a gap in traffic. Some people try to find an opening in the road. Still, others look for a point where the road curves around a hill or mountain. Whatever method you choose, remember that you need to be careful not to block the entire road. You could cause traffic jams in the whole town.
Once you have selected a location to turn from, you must decide whether to make a sharp left-hand or a gradual right. A sharper turn is more difficult than a gradual. It takes more effort and takes more time. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. These are the main reasons why most drivers prefer gradual turns.
Finally, you must accelerate only enough to pass the car in front. Accelerating too fast will cause you crash into its bumper. If you accelerate too slowly, you will run off of the road. You could lose control of the car and cause a crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. You should start slowly and increase your acceleration as you get closer to the edge.
Once you're done cornering, slow down immediately. This is especially important if you are driving in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
