Early Rankings: NASCAR All Star Race, 2013

Here are my early driver rankings for this week’s NASCAR Sprint Cup All Star race at Charlotte. I compiled them by crunching:

The loop data for the past 15 Sprint Cup races (excluding Daytona and Talladega);
the loop data for the past four races (excluding Talladega);
the loop data for the past four races at Charlotte;
the loop data for the past eight races at the other tracks in the Large Ovals track group (i.e., Fontana, Kansas, Atlanta, Texas, Chicago, Michigan and Kentucky);
the practice and qualifying data for the past four races at Charlotte; and
the practice and qualifying data for past seven races at the aforementioned Large Ovals.

Note: This early list doesn’t include whoever gets into the All Star race via the Showdown or the fan vote.
