– Ryan Blaney doesn’t care which type of Atlanta we are going to as his runs here (based off the tables above) have been the best of any active driver.

10 | Martin Truex Jr. | 4.25 | 30 | 10 | Corey LaJoie | 98.91 | 11 |
– Part of the reason why Ryan Blaney is so high up in all of the tables above has to be because he’s only not completed 4 laps in his Atlanta career.

– If Chase Elliott cannot get a Top 10 finish this weekend and Ryan Blaney does, then Blaney will take over the top spot in the active Top 10% table above.

T4 | Brad Keselowski | 2 | 8.33 | T7 | Michael McDowell | 1 | 4.17 |
– If Austin Cindric does well in Stage 1 & 2 this weekend look for him to be up front as he is tied for the most active Stage Wins here and leads the best Stage Win%, but his Stage T10 stats down below aren’t near as impressive.

– As you’ve seen through all the tables above Jimmie Johnson has had a lot of success at Atlanta, but winning a Pole is something he has not accomplished here.
