Last week at Dover we got to see clean air win yet again as Denny Hamlin was able to hold off anyone on newer tires before and after the rain delay. Now, we head to a track where unfortunately clean air probably is king again, Indianapolis. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Indianapolis 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: Indianapolis.
