Front Runners – 2023 Verizon 200, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course

2023 Verizon 200 Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course

Front Runners highlights the drivers that lead laps, run fast laps, and run inside the top 10, 5, & 3 the most at correlated track types.

The NASCAR Cup Series makes its fourth visit to a track that has both left and right turns (two road courses and one street course) this weekend when the Cup Series heads to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course. The IMS Road Course has produced a fair amount of chaos the past two years. To try and reduce the complete mess that happened during some restarts last year NASCAR is moving the restart zone this year.

Since we have three races under our belt this year we have two data sets this week. The first data set is just driver performance at 2023 road/street courses. The second is driver performance at all nine street/road course races in the Gen 7 Car.

The charts below are sorted by percentage of laps led by default. There are also a few more columns that you can choose to display but for ease of display those columns are hidden by default. Also included as the final column is the drivers average running position across all laps completed as the tracks in the data set.

Drivers who have not started an event at one of the relevant races are omitted from these tables.
