As with any NASCAR season since the advent of the playoffs, any one of around 20 drivers can win races and compete for a championship.

After sweeping the front row for the Indy 500, Penske driver Joey Logano dominated and won the NASCAR All-Star race at North Wilkesboro.

NBC also announced that Johnson will be an analyst for three of their NASCAR Cup series races this year.

Byron, Larson, Blaney, and Bell make up the youngest championship four in Cup Series playoff history.

Very rarely does the perfect storm hit, and even more rare does it hit both physically and metaphorically.
