Last week at Atlanta we got to see more questionable decisions by NASCAR regarding whether or not to throw cautions, but in the end it was CBell who pulled off his first victory of the year. Now that all the Superspeedways to start the season are done with we head to a more traditional type of racetrack, but still not too traditional to NASCAR as we head to COTA. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Circuit of the Americas 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: COTA.
