William Byron without any doubt has been the leading driver this season without any doubt. Though he is second in the Cup Stand behind his teammate 2020 Cup Champion Chase Elliott his two-race win so far this season gives him an advantage over the No:9 Camaro ZL1 driver.
Kyle Busch on the other hand has been the leading figure for both Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota as he has been for them over the years. The two times Cup champion so far had just one win coming at Bristol, and if not for the unfortunate incidents he has been part of the tally would have been higher.
