2018 NASCAR Cup Series
Champion: Joey Logano
Driver standings
Kevin Harvick led on points, but the 2018 title went to Joey Logano. Championships in this era were not decided by the points table alone (playoff/chase formats, dropped scores, or a different points system), so the standings order below is not the championship order.
