Last week we saw another Xfinity race dominated by Cup regulars as Alex Bowman and Ty Gibbs combined to lead 86% of the race. In the end Sam Mayer dumped Gibbs in turn 1 and won after NASCAR did a terrible job of cleaning up the track allowing him to make it to the end on fuel. This weekend we go to a track where more wrecks are to be expected, Daytona. I have picked 8 notable drivers to look at, 1 based on the 2023 point standings, 2 based on 2023 stats, 2 based on Superspeedway stats, 1 based on the last Daytona race and 2 based on their overall Daytona stats. Here is a look at those 8 notable drivers 2023 season statistics, along with ranks among drivers in 2023 and ranking through 23 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year, 2023 Superspeedway (drafting tracks) statistics and Daytona statistics.

Main Points & Outlook
– Austin Hill is notable because of his superspeedway stats this year
– Hill ran every lap in the Top 15 last week and was running up front late, but he was an unfortunate victim in the Mayer dump and run causing him to finish 14th
– 7 of his 15 2023 Ranks above are either 1st or 2nd including his 7.74 Avg. Finish, 104.88 Avg. Driver Rating, 4 Wins, and 23 Playoff Pts
– His worst 2023 Rank above is only T5th (3 Stage Wins)
– His 7.74 Avg. Finish, 13 Top 5’s, and 23 Playoff Pts all rank T10th or better thru 23 races since 2016
– In the 4 Superspeedway races this year he has 2 Wins, 3 Top 15’s, and an 8.0 Avg. Finish
– He’s ran 90% of his laps in the 4 races in the Top 15, led 27% of his laps, and has the best Avg. Driver Rating in the 4 races (117.2)
– In the 8 Superspeedway stages he has 2 Stage Wins and an astounding 7.13 Stage Pts Per Stage
– In the Spring Daytona race Hill won the Pole, led 39 laps, won stage 1, had the best Driver Rating (131.8), and won the race
– In 4 Xfinity Daytona races he has 2 Wins, 1 DNF, and a 12.75 Avg. Finish
– At Daytona he’s ran 77% of his laps in the Top 15, led 20% of his laps, has a 98.63 Avg. Driver Rating, and has gotten 4.25 Stage Pts Per Stage
Outlook for this weekend
The stats above clearly point to Hill being a threat to win this weekend as his Superspeedway stats and Daytona stats are pretty remarkable. This isn’t even mentioning the fact he won here earlier this year. All that said Daytona is unpredictable, but if he can avoid carnage I see Hill finishing 1st-8th.

Main Points & Outlook
– John Hunter Nemechek is notable because of his stats thru 23 races in the 2023 season
– Nemechek ran 74% of his laps last week at Watkins Glen in the Top 15 en route to a 6th place finish
– 12 of 15 2023 Ranks above are either 1st or 2nd which includes his 109.45 Avg. Driver Rating, 5 Wins, 9 Top 2’s, 9 Top 3’s, and 5 Stage Wins
– His 109.45 Avg. Driver Rating, 5 Wins, 9 Top 2’s, 9 Top 3’s, 11 Top 15’s, 17 Top 10’s, 5 Stage Wins, 225 Stage Pts, and 30 Playoff Pts all rank T15th or better thru 23 races since 2016
– His longest Top 10 streak this year is only 5 races
– At the 4 Superspeedways this year he has a 10.75 Avg. Finish with 1 Win, 2 Top 3’s, 3 Top 10’s, and a DNF
– In the 4 races he’s spent 84.57% of his laps in the Top 15 and has a 93.53 Avg. Driver Rating
– In the Superspeedway races he’s only led 4% of his laps and has just 1.63 Stage Pts Per Stage with 0 Stage Wins
– This Spring at Daytona Nemechek got 5 Stage Pts, ran 94% of his laps in the Top 15, had the 3rd best Driver Rating (110.8), and finished 2nd
– This was his 4th race at Daytona in the Xfinity Series and just his 2nd Top 15
– His only finishes out of the Top 15 here are DNF’s which all leads to his 16.75 Avg. Finish
Outlook for this weekend
Nemechek has been the best driver this year when looking at his 2023 Ranks above. In terms of Superspeedway races this year I’d say he’s been decent and was pretty good earlier this year at Daytona, where he has struggled in his career. So, based on all the stats above I see Nemechek having a decent run this weekend ending up 5th-10th or with a DNF.

Main Points & Outlook
– Justin Allgaier is notable because he’s 3rd in points
– Allgaier had another good race this year that didn’t end up in victory lane at Watkins Glen as he was caught up in a late wreck causing him to finish 16th
– All of his 3 stage stats (8 Stage Wins, 35 Stage T10’s, and 254 Stage Pts) are most of anyone this year
– Outside of his stage stats 5 of his 2023 Ranks above are 3rd or better (11.17 Avg. Finish, 102.91 Avg. Driver Rating, 4 Top 2’s, 8 Top 3’s, and 10 Top 5’s)
– His worst 2023 Rank above is his 3 DNF’s (ranks T13th)
– Like Nemechek above Allgaier has only a longest Top 10 streak of 5 races this year
– In the 4 Superspeedway races this year he has 1 Top 3, but also just 1 Top 15, 2 DNF’s, and a 19.25 Avg. Finish
– In the 4 races he’s ran 80% of his laps in the Top 15, led 9.13% of his laps, and has an 86.25 Avg. Driver Rating
– His only Top 3 came at Daytona this spring where he finished 3rd after winning Stage 2, leading 36 laps, and in the end had the 2nd best Driver Rating (124.4)
– In his 25 career Xfinity races at Daytona he has only 2 Top 2’s, 14 Top 15’s, and he has more DNF’s (8) than Top 5’s (7)
– In these 25 races he’s got a 16.16 Avg. Finish, an 88.97 Avg. Finish, 19 Stage T10’s, and 4.08 Stage Pts Per Stage
Outlook for this weekend
Allgaier has been pretty good this year, especially in stages. However, where he’s not been good at is Superspeedways where he only has 1 Top 15 in 4 races. The good news is that Top 15 was a 3rd place finish here at Daytona, but in his career he’s not done well at Daytona. All of this put together I see Allgaier getting a DNF this weekend, but if he can avoid that then I think he finishes in the Top 5.

Main Points & Outlook
– Cole Custer is notable because of his 2023 stats
– At Watkins Glen Custer only ran 77% of his laps in the Top 15 but managed to come home 7th
– 12 of his 15 2023 Ranks above are 4th or better including his series leading 4 Poles
– On the year he has an 11.43 Avg. Finish, a 100.67 Avg. Driver Rating, 2 Wins, 8 Top 5’s, 14 Top 10’s, 5 Stage Wins, and 199 Stage Pts
– He is now on a 2 race Top 10 streak after Watkins Glen
– In 4 Superspeedway races this year he has the 3rd best Avg. Finish (7.0) with 2 Top 5’s, 3 Top 10’s, and a worst finish of 12th
– On Superspeedways this year he’s ran 81% of his laps in the Top 15 and has a 92.08 Avg. Driver Rating
– He’s only led 0.17% of his laps on Superspeedways this year and has just 1.38 Stage Pts Per Stage in the 8 stages
– At Daytona this year Custer ran only 65% of his laps in the Top 15, had the 11th best Driver Rating (86.3), but wound up finishing 9th
– This was his 7th Xfinity race at Daytona and is his only Top 10 finish
– In his 7 races he has more finishes out of the Top 20 (4) than in the Top 15 (3) which leads to a poor 21.0 Avg. Finish
– At Daytona in his Xfinity career he’s only ran 58% of his laps in the Top 15, has just a 72.54 Avg. Driver Rating, and has just 4 Stage T10’s
Outlook for this weekend
Custer has had himself a decent season this year according to the stats, nothing flashy, but still solid. This includes his races on Superspeedway’s where all of his finishes are between 3rd and 12th including a 9th at Daytona. However, Daytona has been a problem in his career. This weekend I don’t see Custer competing for the win but I do see a finish between 7th and 15th in his future.

Main Points & Outlook
– Justin Haley is notable because of his stats on Superspeedways this year in the Xfinity Series
– Haley’s last Xfinity race came at Atlanta this summer where he ran 93% of his laps in the Top 15 and finished 4th
– In his 4 starts this year he has 1 Top 5 and 3 Top 10’s with a worst finish of 11th
– In the 4 races he’s ran 82% of his laps in the Top 15 and has an impressive 97.05 Avg. Driver Rating
– Out of the 4 races he’s ran this year 3 of them have been on Superspeedways where he’s finishes between 4th and 10th in all 3
– In the 3 races he’s got an 8.0 Avg. Finish and has the 2nd best Avg. Driver Rating (103.23)
– In these 3 races he’s ran 84% of his laps in the Top 15 and has led 19% of his laps
– At the Daytona race this Spring Haley ran 66% of his laps in the Top 15, had the 10th best Driver Rating (87.4), and finished 10th
– In the 9 Xfinity races he’s ran at Daytona he has 2 Wins, 5 Top 10’s, and 2 finishes out of the Top 20 (both being DNF’s)
– Overall at Daytona in the Xfinity Series he has a 12.11 Avg. Finish, an 88.38 Avg. Driver Rating, and 3 Stage Wins
Outlook for this weekend
Haley’s 2023 Xfinity season has mostly comprised of Superspeedways, in which he’s been pretty good, not even finishing out of the Top 10. Even better is that his Daytona stats are mighty impressive as he’s finished over half his races in the Top 10. All of the stats above lead me to believe that Haley will run up front most of the race this weekend and if he doesn’t wreck will finish somewhere in the Top 10.

Main Points & Outlook
– Riley Herbst is notable because of his career stats here at Daytona
– Herbst ran all but one of his laps in the Top 15 last week at Watkins Glen, but he only ran 37 laps before a suspension issue caused him to finish 35th
– His best 2023 Rank above is only T7th (5 Top 5’s)
– Only 6 of his 15 2023 Ranks above are 10th or better which includes his 10 Top 10’s, 85.63 Avg. Driver Rating, and 137 Stage Pts
– His 6 DNF’s are tied for 2nd most this year among drivers with 11+ races this year
– In the 4 Superspeedway races this year he’s gotten 1 Top 5, 2 Top 10’s, 2 DNF’s, and has a measly 17.5 Avg. Finish
– In these 4 races he’s ran 81% of his laps in the Top 15, has the 9th best Avg. Driver Rating (89.63), and 3.75 Stage Pts Per Stage with 1 Stage Win
– One of Herbst’s Superspeedway Top 10’s was at Daytona where he finished 6th, ran 86% of his laps in the Top 15, and had the best 4th best Driver Rating (97.9)
– In his 4 career Xfinity races at Daytona he has the same amount of Top 5’s as DNF’s (2), but has finished half of his races in the Top 10
– At Daytona he has a 14.38 Avg. Finish, an 89.7 Avg. Driver Rating, and 2.94 Stage Pts Per Stage
Outlook for this weekend
Herbst started the year on fire with 6 straight Top 10’s, but in the last 17 races he’s only had 4 Top 10’s. In terms of Superspeedways this year it’s been feast or famine, but he feasted to a 6th place finish in the spring at Daytona. However, his Daytona stats are like his 2023 Superspeedway stats which leads me conflicted on how this weekend will go. Overall I feel he finishes between 5th and 10th, or with a DNF.

Main Points & Outlook
– Jeb Burton is notable because of his career Xfinity stats here at Daytona
– Last week at Watkins Glen Burton ran only 8 laps in the Top 15, but he was there when it counted as he finished 10th
– He leads the series in 2 2023 Ranks above (99.91 Completed Laps% and 0 DNF’s)
– Only 7 of his 2023 Ranks above are 12th or better including his 14.48 Avg. Finish, 1 Win, 1 Stage Win, and 6 Playoff Pts
– His 99.91 Completed laps% is tied for best thru 23 races since 2016 (Ty Dillon 2017)
– His 1 Win this year is his only Top 5
– In his 4 Superspeedway races this year he has 1 Win, only 1 Top 10, 3 Top 15’s, a worst finish of 16th, and a 10.25 Avg. Finish
– He’s only ran 40% of his laps in the Top 15, led 3% of his laps, and has an 84.53 Avg. Driver Rating

Outlook for this weekend
The 2023 season hasn’t been great for Burton when looking at his in race stats, however his finishes haven’t been too bad. Still, he only has 1 Top 5, but that Top 5 was a win on a Superspeedway that has him locked into the playoffs. What’s more is that his stats at Daytona are decent as in half of his races he’s finished in the Top 15. In all this weekend I expect Burton to do his dad proud and finish between 8th and 15th.

Outlook for this weekend
The 2023 season hasn’t been great for Burton when looking at his in race stats, however his finishes haven’t been too bad. Still, he only has 1 Top 5, but that Top 5 was a win on a Superspeedway that has him locked into the playoffs. What’s more is that his stats at Daytona are decent as in half of his races he’s finished in the Top 15. In all this weekend I expect Burton to do his dad proud and finish between 8th and 15th.

– 6 of his 15 2023 Ranks above are T20th or worse including his 92.48 Completed Laps%, 0 Top 5’s, 2 Top 10’s, and 4 DNF’s
– He’s only ran 34% of his laps this year in the Top 15 and has just a 66.57 Avg. Driver Rating with only 34 Stage Pts
– He doesn’t have back to back Top 10’s this year
– His 4 Superspeedway races this year have produced a 19.5 Avg. Finish with only 1 Top 10, 2 Top 15’s, and 2 DNF’s
– In the 4 races he’s ran 66% of his laps in the Top 15, has a 73.98 Avg. Driver Rating, and has led 6.8% of his laps
– In the Daytona Spring race Sieg ran 61% of his laps in the Top 15, had the 12th best Driver Rating (84.5), and finished 8th
– In his 19 career races at Daytona he has just 2 Top 3’s plus he has more finishes out of the Top 20 (10) and DNF’s (8) than finishes in the Top 10 (7)
– In these 19 races he has an 18.58 Avg. Finish, has ran only 43% of his laps in the Top 15, and has just a 75.19 Avg. Driver Rating
Outlook for this weekend
Sieg has struggled this year and that includes on Superspeedways where he only has 1 Top 10 in 4 races with 2 DNF’s. The good news for Sieg is that his only Top 10 came here at Daytona this year and he ran decent as well. However, in his career he’s been bad at Daytona as he has more DNF’s than Top 10’s. With all this said I think Sieg gets a DNF, but if he can avoid that then I think he finishes 8th-15th.
