At the return to North Wilkesboro points racing last week we saw a beatdown as Joey Logano led what seemed to be the whole race in route to his 1st win of 2026. Now, we head to another historic track that is steeped in racing history, but if we see another beatdown it will probably be by a Toyota at 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.
