Here are my mid-week driver rankings for this week’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Dover. 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 Dover;
the loop data for the past six races at the other tracks in the Steeps track group (i.e., Bristol, Darlington, Las Vegas and Homestead);
the practice and qualifying data for the past four races at Dover; and
the practice and qualifying data for past six races at the aforementioned Steeps.

The results:
