The NASCAR Cup Series has had nine drivers win the first 11 races of the 2022 season.

Among those who haven't won: Ryan Blaney, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano appear to be comfortable on points regarding playoff positioning, and if the series gets to 16 or more winners in the regular season it'll include that trio.

Sunday's race is a huge opportunity for Erik Jones, who has been wonderful in his career at Darlington and is coming off consecutive top 10s. Jones is pushing to make the playoffs on points, but a win would be the ultimate boost.

Here's what you need to know about Sunday's race:
