The top 3 drivers in 2022 are yet to win a race this year

The top 3 drivers in 2022, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, and Joey Logano, are still waiting to make a statement this year. Among them, only Logano has managed to clinch a podium finish in the last two races in Virginia and Bristol. Their consistency is what makes the difference as they rarely finish outside the top 20. However, the margins are quite slim in the live standings after 9 races which further supports the unpredictability of these NextGen cars.

Elliott seems to be the most consistent driver this year, but he remains far behind the much-needed victory. Joey Logano is among the favorites to be the first one among the top 3 to win a race this season. Ryan Blaney has come really close to reaching the podium on several occasions, but his efforts have always been cut short in the end. He led most laps in the Ruoff Mortgage 500 and the Toyota Owners 500, but the pressure got to him. On the other hand, Joey Logano is yet to get a pole position this season, while Blaney leads in this category with 3 poles.
