- The loop data for the past 15 Sprint Cup races (excluding Daytona and Talladega);
- the loop data for the past four races at Sonoma;
- the loop data for the past four races at Watkins Glen;
- the practice and qualifying data for the past four races at Sonoma; and
- the practice and qualifying data for past four races at Watkins Glen.
