– It’s easy to see why Kyle Petty said they should fill Darlington with water and hold bass fishing tournaments as he’s the only driver with 35+ starts here (25 drivers) not to get a Top 5 finish.

– Denny Hamlin’s 15 Stage T10 streak is safe for this year, but if Tyler Reddick can get a Stage T10 in both Stage 1 & Stage 2 of each Darlington race this year then he could tie or break Hamlin’s record next year.
