Dropping the Hammer: Kyle Larson’s the only past NASCAR Cup Series champ to visit Victory Lane this year…..fans expect seasoned champ like Joey Logano and……
As the NASCAR Cup Series barrels through the 2025 season, Kyle Larson stands alone among past champions with a win to his name. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has showcased his trademark speed and consistency, capitalizing on his experience to find Victory Lane. Meanwhile, other former champions like Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, and Martin Truex Jr. have yet to hoist a trophy, leaving fans scratching their heads and wondering when — or if — these seasoned stars will make their mark this year.
Joey Logano, in particular, is under the microscope. Known for his aggressive driving style and strategic prowess, the two-time Cup Series champ has been unusually quiet in 2025. While he’s shown flashes of speed, bad luck and setup issues have kept him from contending for wins. Fans expect more from a driver with his pedigree — someone who’s consistently been a threat in the playoffs.
With the season reaching its midpoint, time is running short for these champions to reassert their dominance. Will they rally and rise to the challenge, or is the sport witnessing a true changing of the guard? One thing’s for sure — the pressure is on, and the hammer is about to drop.
