1. Johnny Sauter, 2,042 points

Johnny Sauter, the driver of the No. 21 Chevrolet for GMS Racing, enters the postseason as the favorite for this year’s championship, having won a series-high five races so far. He clinched the regular-season title with the most recent of those wins at Bristol last week.

Sauter banked 42 playoff points, including 15 for winning the regular season title, and it’s thought by many that he’ll be able to use those bonus points to cruise through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The only question now is: how many more will he rack up?
