Xfinity Series Notable Drivers Statistics & Outlook: Daytona

After a great 2023 season the Xfinity Series is back in action this weekend at Daytona. Austin Hill has won the past 2 season openers in the Xfinity Series, but there are plenty of other drivers who will have a chance this weekend. I have picked 5 notable drivers to look at, 1 based on 2023 season stats, 1 based on Superspeedway stats, 1 based on the last Daytona race, 1 based on their Daytona stats over the last 5 Xfinity seasons, and 1 based on the highest in 2023 points that wasn’t already picked. Here is a look at those 5 notable drivers 2023 season statistics, along with ranks among drivers in 2023 as well as ranking through 33 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Daytona, 2023 Superspeedway (drafting tracks) statistics and Daytona statistics from the past 5 Xfinity seasons.

1st in 2023 Points – Cole Custer

Main Points & Outlook
Cole Custer is notable because he finished 1st in points last year
In the last Xfinity race Custer was able to beat everyone else and win the Xfinity Series championship
He was one of the best drivers last year as all of his 2023 Ranks above are 6th or better, with most being 3rd or better
Last year he had an impressive 11 straight Top 10 finish streak, and he’s currently on an 8 straight Stage T10 streak
In terms of Daytona he’s currently on a 2 race Top 10 streak and has 3 straight Stage T10’s
At Superspeedways last year he ran pretty well, got 3 Top 5’s, had a worst finish of 12th, and had the 3rd best Avg. Finish
In the Fall race at Daytona Custer ran most of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 5th place finish
He’s ran 4 Xfinity races at Daytona in the last 5 years and his 2 Top 10’s last year are his only Top 10 finishes in that span, but his only finish out of the Top 15 was a DNF
Outlook for this weekend
Custer was able to win the championship last year, but based on these stats above this weekend doesn’t look great for him. However, that doesn’t mean it looks bad either as he ran decent at Superspeedways last year, so a win doesn’t seem likely but a Top 10 could be in reach this weekend.

Main Points & Outlook
John Hunter Nemechek is notable because of how well he ran in 2023
In the last Xfinity race Nemechek went out of full-time Xfinity racing with a bang as a close battle for the championship ended up with Nemechek crashed to finish 28th
Most of his 2023 Ranks above are 1st or 2nd which tells just how good he was all around last year, however he did rank just T7th in Poles
He had a lot of different streaks last year, but his best one was that he was the only driver to win back-to-back races in 2023
His streaks at Daytona aren’t as good as his best streak is 3 straight Stage T10’s
At Superspeedways last year he was boom or bust getting either a Top 10 or DNF in all 5 races, but he did run a lot of his laps in the Top 15
In the last Daytona race Nemechek ran most of the race in the Top 15 but crashed late to finish 28th
In his last 5 races here at Daytona he has 3 DNF’s, but has ran over 75% of his laps in the Top 15
Outlook for this weekend
Nemechek was very impressive last year, so he’s moved on to the Cup Series yet again. However, he’s back in the Xfinity Series for this race, but based on his results on Superspeedways last year and over the last 5 years at Daytona he’s either going to finish Top 10 or crash.

Main Points & Outlook
Austin Hill is notable because of how good he was at Superspeedways last year
In last years season finale Hill ran every lap in the Top 15 en route to a 7th place finish
Last year he was among the best of the best as all but 3 of his 2023 Ranks above are T4th or better including his best ranked Avg. Finish
He was able to get a 7 race Top 10 streak last year and is currently on a 2 straight Stage T10 streak
Speaking of active streaks he has a 2 race Daytona race Pole streak and has 4 straight Daytona Stage T10’s
He was great on Superspeedways last year finishing with the best Avg. Driver Rating and getting 7.6 Stage Pts Per Stage, but his only Top 10’s were his 2 Wins
In the Fall race at Daytona last year Hill led a good chunk of the race and had the 3rd best Driver Rating, but a wreck late caused him to finish 23rd
In the last 5 years he has ran 5 Daytona races and has just 2 Top 10’s in those races, but both were Wins and he has the 3rd best Avg. Driver Rating in that span
Outlook for this weekend
Austin Hill was oh so close to being in the Championship 4 last year, but it wasn’t meant to be. However, coming to the first race of the season is a welcome sight to him as he’s won the last two Xfinity season openers. However, he’s a bit boom or bust at Superspeeedways. Nevertheless he will be up front this weekend, only question is will he finish there?

Main Points & Outlook
Sheldon Creed is notable because of how well he did in the last Xfinity Daytona race
At Phoenix, the last Xfinity race, Creed ran pretty good all race but ended up being the bridesmaid for the second straight race
His stats last year were decent, but even with 7 Top 3 finishes, he still had more finishes out of the Top 20 than in the Top 5
He is currently on a 2 race Top 2 streak, but the most impressive streak he had last year was his 12 straight Stage T10’s
The only streak that’s more than 1 in a row for him at Daytona is his 2 straight Stage T10 streak he is currently on
In 5 Superspeedway races last year he had 2 Top 3 finishes, but also 3 finishes out of the Top 20 leading to just the 23rd best Avg. Finish
Last Fall at Daytona Creed ran a great race ending up with the best Driver Rating and 19 Stage Pts, but he finished 2nd
Overall in the last 5 years he has ran 5 races at Daytona in the Xfinity Series getting just 2 Top 10’s and 3 DNF’s leading to a poor 22.4 Avg. Finish
Outlook for this weekend
Sheldon Creed is looking to start his Joe Gibbs tenure on a better note than he left RCR, but he’s hoping the results are about the same as he ended last year on a hot streak. However, looking at the stats above it might be hard for him this weekend as he’s overall not been great at Daytona or on Superspeedways.

Main Points & Outlook
A.J. Allmendinger is notable because of how well he’s done in the Xfinity Series at Daytona in recent years
The last race Allmendinger raced in was at the Indy Road Course where he won both stages but ultimately finished 3rd
He ran just 5 races in 2023 (4 on Road Courses), but in those races he ran great and finished 4 of the 5 races in the Top 3
He’s finished in the Top 10 in the last 6 Xfinity races he’s competed in
He is on a 4 race Top 5 streak in races he’s competed in here
Last year he did not compete in a Superspeedway race
Allmendinger did not compete in the Xfinity Fall Daytona race
Over the last 5 years he has 6 starts here, 4 Top 5’s, the best Avg. Driver Rating, the 3rd best Laps Led%, but has 0 Wins
Outlook for this weekend
Last year Allmendinger ran in a handful of Xfinity races, but the races he ran he did great and finished even better in most cases. However, he did not compete on a Superspeedway, but when looking at his Daytona stats it’s clear that he is good here. So, expect Allmendinger to run up front all race long this weekend and probably finish there as well.
