Welcome, in this article series we will be reviewing and rating how each driver in the NASCAR Xfinity series has done in the 2024 season (min. 15 races started). Each part will contain 3-4 drivers and have them grouped by organization/satellite team or car manufacturer teammate as best as possible. The review will include the drivers 2024 season statistics, along with ranks among drivers in 2024 with season ranking since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight playoff stats, notable streaks accomplished through the year, 2024 Short track (under 1 mile), Small track (1-1.3 mile), Intermediate (1.3-1.5 mile), Big track (2-2.5 mile), Road Course (left and right turns), and Superspeedway (drafting tracks) statistics. I will grade each section and give a brief reason why, then give a short overview, all ending with an overall grade A+ thru F- based on a weighted formula from the grades above. To sum up each team, at the end of their last driver I will give an overall team grade based on the grades for each driver. All grades may take into account underfunded/well-funded cars and driver experience.
Up next we have a couple of Chevy teams who had some surprising years this year, Kaulig Racing and Our Motorsports.

2024 stats Grade: B+
His Win he picked up late in the season helped him get the B+ as did his good stage stats and his low Finishes out of the Top 20. However, it was his lack of Top 2’s/3’s that kept him from an A-.
- 2024 Playoff Statistics (Avg. Fin. and Driver Rating rank among drivers with 3+ Playoff starts, 37 drivers)

Stage Finish 11.14, 6 Playoff Pts earned in races
2024 Playoff Grade: B
What hurt his Playoff grade was his poor Laps in Top 15% as he didn’t finish too terrible, getting 1 Win and 4 Top 10’s to just 1 Finishes out of the Top 20.
- Notable Streaks this year
- 2 straight Top 2 finishes (tied longest streak in Xfinity Series this year)
- 3 straight Top 10 finishes

2024 Small track Grade: C+

Stage Finish 6.61
2024 Intermediate Grade: B+
His stats are good, but his Avg. Finish with just 3 Top 5’s isn’t quite good enough for an A grade, but what really stood out to get him a B+ was his Win, Avg. Driver Rating, and Avg. Stage Finish.
