Overall, we might see rare chalk at the Championship 4: The top 4 drivers in the standings are also the drivers most likely to do well at the next 3 races. It’s boring, but my Championship 4 picks are Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, William Byron and Martin Truex, Jr., with Larson winning his 2nd career championship (and 2nd in 3 years) when all is said and done.

But let’s see how that pick holds up!
