Welcome, this is a summary of the NASCAR statistical driver review grades from the past couple months. Here you can see all the NASCAR drivers (with 10+ starts this year in Truck and 15+ starts this year in Xfinity/Cup) rankings according to their grade and number rating through the weighted formula I used. I provide their grade and number rating below and below that will be the NASCAR owner rankings (based off their drivers in the article only) with their grade and average number rating. Then for all of you who are nerds like me and want to know what/how I came up with the rating system formula, I have provided the links to each series individual Final Rankings articles that details how that works. To end the article I have the links to my counterparts pages so you can check out their reviews from this year as well. So, have fun and I hope your favorite driver/owner ranking meets your approval. Thank you for all the support and I look forward to the 2024 season with y’all.
