The Cup Series championship is here. This year's crop of title contenders features a host of names that may appear somewhat unfamiliar to those who haven't been paying attention over the past few years. You likely know Joey Logano, the eccentric Team Penske star with two pieces of Cup Series hardware to his name.
The same could be said for "Young" Ryan Blaney, a fellow Team Penske standout who broke through to capture Cup Series gold in 2023. William Byron is a phenom, having turned a passion for iRacing into a successful career in the top-flight of American stock car racing. The No.
24 driver is only 26 years old. But he's backed by American racing's most successful organization, already has a Championship 4 appearance and took home the Daytona 500 earlier this year. Byron is already a supernova.
If he can reach his potential, he can finish as one of NASCAR's greatest-ever talents. And then there's Tyler Reddick. The diminutive Californian isn't one of NASCAR's most showy personalities.
But he shreds when he's on the track, showcasing versatility across a series of different surfaces, from road courses to super speedways and everything in between. Reddick took home more checkered flags than most in 2024. Now, he hopes to outpace his Championship 4 colleagues and secure a momentous Cup Series title for himself — and one of world sport's truest dignitaries.
