Here are my early driver rankings for this week’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Martinsville. 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 Martinsville;
the loop data for the past nine races at the other tracks in the Flats track group (i.e., Richmond, Phoenix, Indy, Pocono and New Hampshire);
the practice and qualifying data for the past four races at Martinsville; and
the practice and qualifying data for past eight races at the aforementioned Flats.

The results:
