– There are 24 active drivers who have made 10+ starts here at Bristol and only J.J. Yeley, Corey LaJoie, and Ty Dillon have yet to get a Top 10 here. However, only Ty Dillon is racing this weekend and thus has a chance to remove his name from that list.

– Half of the drivers in the “without Stage T10” table above aren’t even in the race this weekend and therefore don’t have a chance to get off this list.

– There are a lot of impressive Bristol streaks coming into this weekend as Kyle Larson tries to become the first driver since the early 2000’s to win 3 straight races, and Alex Bowman looks to become the first driver since the late 1990’s to win 3 straight Poles, among other impressive streaks.
