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 and Talladega);
- 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:
