After earning his first career win, Ty Gibbs has jumped up to fourth in the standings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a mid-race crash, Shane van Gisbergen has fallen to the Chase cut line, and is just one-point clear of Chase Briscoe.<\/p>\n

The biggest mover in the points this week was Briscoe, who finished fifth and moved from 21st to 17th. Brad Keselowski was the biggest loser, dropping from eighth to 11th.<\/p>\n
