Cup points standings after the Talladega race

The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs got another buzz Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega, the middle race of the Round of 12. He beat Brad Keselowski by 0.006 seconds to take the win.

Stenhouse is now the third non-playoff driver to win a race during the playoffs. Chris Buescher (Watkins Glen) and Ross Chastain (Kansas) are the other two to win in the playoffs.

William Byron secured a place in the round of 8 based on the points. The other seven drivers must secure their place in the next round next weekend.

Here's the picture of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs heading into the elimination race in the ROVAL at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
