Last week in the All-Star Race we got to see the Short track package let us down again, but thankfully Ricky Stenhouse Jr. packed a punch heard around the sports universe to give people something exciting to talk about. Oh, Joey Logano won the All-Star Race by the way. Up next we head to the bread and butter of the Next Gen car, an Intermediate track in Charlotte, where we hopefully get to watch 600 miles of great racing. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Charlotte Motor Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Charlotte.
