Here are my early driver rankings for this week’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas. I compiled them by crunching:
- The loop data for the past 15 Sprint Cup races (excluding Daytona, Sonoma, Watkins Glen and Talladega);
- the loop data for the past four races;
- the loop data for the past four races at Texas;
- the loop data for the past eight races at the other tracks in the Large Ovals track group (i.e., Fontana, Charlotte, Atlanta, Kansas, Chicago, Michigan and Kentucky);
- the practice and qualifying data for the past four races at Texas; and
- the practice and qualifying data for past eight races at the aforementioned Large Ovals.
