The NASCAR Cup Series season has been a whirlwind of chaos, and although it's been a Sunday tradition since the late winter and early spring months, the schedule is on pause for a couple weeks.

NASCAR drivers and teams are on a two-week break as NBC broadcasts the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

With just a few races left in the regular season, Kyle Larson leads the points standings over teammate Chase Elliott.
