Front Runners – 2023 Go Bowling at the Glen, Watkins Glen International

2023 Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International

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.

For the second week in a row NASCAR drivers will be making both left and right turns when the Cup Series visits Watkins Glen International in New York. The Watkins Glen road course is significantly less prone to chaos than the Indy Road Course is, however, even last week at Indy we saw a lot less chaos than in the past.

With four relevant 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 ten 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.

As Cole Custer has not run a road course event this year in the Cup Series he is are omitted from the 2023 race chart.

Laps run inside the Top 10, 5, 3, and led as percentage laps driver completed at 2023 COTA, 2023 Sonoma, 2023 Chicago Street Course, and 2023 Indy Road Course
