Early Rankings: Kansas II, 2013

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

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

The results:
