Greg Biffle ended NASCAR's regular season – the first 26 races – as the Sprint Cup Series points leader.

But as the checkered flag waved on Saturday night – er, Sunday morning – at Richmond International Raceway, NASCAR re-seeded the top 12 drivers and put Biffle in fifth.

The new points leader is Denny Hamlin, who has 2012 points thanks to his four wins – each worth three points apiece. Drivers are seeded by wins first, then second-place finishes, third-place finishes and so on.

Here's a look at the 2012 Chase standings heading into the final 10 races:

1. Denny Hamlin
2. Jimmie Johnson -3
3. Tony Stewart -3
4. Brad Keselowski -3
5. Greg Biffle -6
6. Clint Bowyer -6
7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -9
8. Matt Kenseth -9
9. Kevin Harvick -12
10. Martin Truex Jr. -12
11. Kasey Kahne -12
12. Jeff Gordon -12
