The 2018 season has been marked by domination.
With the exception of the Daytona 500—a race that is always highlighted by multiple lead changes—the leader has seemingly been unassailable.
Kevin Harvick won three straight races at Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix without bothering to look in his rearview mirror for a competitor.
Martin Truex Jr. put on a clinic at Auto Club on his way to Victory Lane.
Even the Martinsville short track was showcased by drivers scooting out to an unchallenged lead. Denny Hamlin set sail in segment one, Ryan Blaney dominated segment two, while Clint Bowyer took the third stage and the checkers.
Performances like that can make it difficult to pay attention to the rest of the field, so now is a good time to see who else has been in the lead pack.
