The NASCAR standings and Cup points have been updated after the drivers competed in the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. Ryan Blaney won the race that kicked off the month of June.

There are now just 12 races remaining in the regular season, which means drivers who are below the playoff cut line need to win soon. Here’s a look at the NASCAR standings and Cup points after the Nashville race.
