Last week at New Hampshire we got to see some surprisingly good racing that was mixed with wet weather racing and strategy. All of this resulted in another Ryan Blaney win, his 3rd on the year.

Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Daytona International 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!
