Martin Truex Jr. won the Go Bowling 400 and closed the points gap between him and Kyle Larson.

With his second win of the season and five stage victories, Truex also has the most playoff points through the first 11 races.

Check out how the points standings look after a wild night race at Kansas:

Another solid day for the points leader. Larson continues to run well at every track this season.

Truex continues to position himself perfectly for the playoffs. If he can get the points lead and a few more wins, he’ll have quite a cushion built when the postseason starts.

Keselowski showed resiliency once again and battled back from two laps down to finish second.

Rough days are becoming too common for Elliott in recent weeks. For the third straight race, he finished outside of the top 20.

McMurray has to be thrilled with his start to the season but now it’s time to start adding some playoff points along with his strong showing.

Harvick is on the cusp of breaking through with a win soon. He’s finished top-five in four of the past five races.

Busch has led a ton of laps but seems to always have an issue or drop a little bit late in the races. He’s still been JGR’s best driver in 2017.

With two wins and a playoff spot secured, we might see Johnson start his summer hibernation and bank solid finishes. He was on pace for that at Kansas before wrecking late.

It’s been a rough couple weeks for Logano. After having his Richmond win encumbered, he’s been involved in two brutal crashes the past two weeks.

The expectations for Bowyer are starting to shift now that we’ve seen he’s back to being a contender again. He’s poised to find his way to Victory Lane before the season’s over.

Blaney couldn’t close out the race with a win but a top-five is a solid way to stop the bad luck streak he was on.

Hamlin’s been hit-or-miss for most of 2017. After stringing together a couple top-10s, he’s back to middle of the pack results.

After winning at Talladega, Stenhouse plays the rest of the season with house money. He had solid Ford at Kansas and wound up 11th.

One of three drivers currently in a playoff spot without playoff points, Bayne needs to keep improving if he wants to see the postseason.

Kurt Busch hoped his back luck after winning the Daytona 500 was up but late contact with Jimmie Johnson led to a 19th-place finish at Kansas.

Kahne’s outperformed his results most weeks but currently sits as the first man out of the playoffs.

Newman’s engine let go early at Kansas but it wasn’t a huge issue since he’s already won a race this year.

Kenseth has climbed from a rough start to the edge of a playoff position. Expect him to climb in on points and possible even score a win soon.

Such a promising start to the season was abruptly halted last night when Almirola suffered a compression fracture in his back after a hard hit with Logano and Danica Patrick.

Hopefully, he’ll have a speedy recovery but his playoff hopes are likely over unless he returns and wins a race late in the regular season.

The 2016 XFINITY Series champion slowly keeps getting better. With his car inside the top 15 most of the race, it was a nice stride forward for Suarez.

This Rookie of the Year battle is turning into a great one. Jones has outperformed the other two drivers so far but sits tied with Suarez in points.

Dillon has impressed in equipment that isn’t on the level of his fellow rookies and he’s within striking distance of the Rookie of the Year Award after 11 races.

The elder Dillon brother hasn’t course corrected after a bumpy start to 2017. The season is still fairly young, though.

This is right about where we’d expect to see Menard in the standings.

Something is going wrong with the wheels on the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Both figuratively and literally. For the second week, Earnhardt complained about loose wheels and the results haven’t been good on this farewell tour.

Buescher has finished 21st or better in five of the last six races. Great progress by this JTG Daugherty bunch.

Similar to Buescher, Ragan has improved his results over the past five races. He’s finished in the top 20 the past three events.

A respectable 13th-place finish at Kansas is another step in the right direction for the Leavine Family Racing team.

Whitt should be proud of his results so far this season. He’s exceeded expectations most weeks for TriStar Motorsports.

© Barry Cantrell LAT Images www.latphoto.co.uk Barry Cantrell

Allmendinger must have passed his lucky charm to his teammate Buescher, because the No. 47 JTG Daughtery Chevrolet hasn’t finished better than 30th since Texas.
