All-Time Cup Track Stats: Daytona

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. Now we head to the Regular Season finale where the dreams of a Championship will go belly up for some drivers, Daytona. Down below you will find different statistics from all of the NASCAR Cup races here at Daytona International Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find all-time stats, if you are looking for only active drivers stats or Next Gen stats check out my next article Active/Next Gen Cup Track Stats: Daytona.

Active Drivers will be highlighted like so
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2026 Cup Series season.

First Winner: Bob Welborn 02/20/1959
Most Recent Winner: Tyler Reddick 02/15/2026

**Worst Starting Positions by Winner**
Rank	Race	Start Pos.	Driver	Rank	Race	Start Pos.	Driver
1	2012-18	42	Tony Stewart	6	1978-02	33	Bobby Allison
2	2009-01	39	Matt Kenseth	T7	1975-02	32	Benny Parsons
3	1988-15	38	Bill Elliott	T7	2011-01	32	Trevor Bayne
T4	2007-01	34	Kevin Harvick	9	2023-01	31	Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
T4	2019-18	34	Justin Haley	10	2003-17	30	Greg Biffle

– Tony Stewart’s record for worst starting position by a race winner at Daytona will not be in jeopardy any time soon as long as NASCAR stays with the 40/41 car maximum fields.

**Worst Finish by Pole Winner**
Rank	Race	Finish	Driver	Rank	Race	Finish	Driver
T1	1959-03	41	Bob Welborn	T3	1983-16	40	Cale Yarborough
T1	1997-16	41	Mike Skinner	T3	1990-01	40	Ken Schrader
T3	1960-05	40	Cotton Owens	T8	2001-17	39	Sterling Marlin
T3	1979-02	40	Buddy Baker	T8	2003-01	39	Jeff Green
T3	1980-17	40	Cale Yarborough	T8	2003-17	39	Steve Park

– Like Stewart above, Bob Welborn and Mike Skinner’s unwanted record will not be surpassed anytime soon, unless there is a 41st car using the Open Exemption Provisional.

**Drivers who won Pole & Race**
Race	Driver	Race	Driver
1959-26	Fireball Roberts	1984-01	Cale Yarborough
1960-23	Jack Smith	1985-01	Bill Elliott
1962-05	Fireball Roberts	1987-01	Bill Elliott
1966.05	Richard Petty	1999-01	Jeff Gordon
1968-04	Cale Yarborough	2000-01	Dale Jarrett
1974-16	David Pearson	2004-17	Jeff Gordon
1980-02	Buddy Baker	2005-17	Tony Stewart
1981-17	Cale Yarborough	2005-17	Tony Stewart

– It’s been over 20 years since a Pole winner won a race at Daytona, so don’t count on the Pole winner ending up in Victory Lane this weekend.

**Drivers who swept both Stages in race**
Race	Driver	Race Finish
2018-18	Ricky Stenhouse Jr.	17th
2020-26	Joey Logano	27th
2021-01	Denny Hamlin	5th
2022-01	Martin Truex Jr.	13th

Drivers to win both Stages and Race		Drivers to win Pole, both Stages & Race
Race	Driver	Race	Driver
–	–	–	–

– Winning both Stages at Daytona doesn’t necessarily mean a good finish at the end of the race as only one of the four drivers to win Stage 1 & 2 actually finished in the Top 10.

Best Laps Led% by Winner				Worst Laps Led% by Winner
Rank	Race	Laps Led%	Driver	Rank	Race	Laps Led%	Driver
T1	1960-03	100	Fireball Roberts	1	2018-01	0.48	Austin Dillon
T1	1960-04	100	Jack Smith	T2	2017-01	0.50	Kurt Busch

5	1968-25	88.75	Cale Yarborough	5	2018-18	0.60	Erik Jones
6	1959-26	84.00	Fireball Roberts	6	2024-25	0.61	Harrison Burton
7	1972-02	83.50	A.J. Foyt	7	1994-15	0.63	Jimmy Spencer
T8	1959-02	82.50	Bob Welborn	8	2019-18	0.79	Justin Haley
T8	1962-03	82.50	Fireball Roberts	9	2010-01	0.96	Jamie McMurray
10	1990-15	79.38	Dale Earnhardt	10	2023-26	1.23	Chris Buescher

– Only one race since 2000 is in the Best table above, meanwhile only 2 races before 2017 are in the Worst table. So, the recent stats say leading a lot of laps here is meaningless when it comes to winning.

**Best Laps Led% in race**

This was how Kyle Busch finished the 2021 Daytona 500. Since he finished Top 15 he got credited for running every lap in the Top 15, the last driver to do so at Daytona. Photo by James Gilbert — Getty Images

– 2016 was the last time a Daytona race had 30+ cars finish a race on the lead lap, so do not expect many drivers to finish on the lead lap this weekend.

Best Avg. Fin. by Starting Position (1-40)			Worst Avg. Fin. by Starting Position (1-40)

– The results in these tables aren’t too shocking. Overall if you want a good finish start up front, if you want a bad finish start near the rear.

– Dale Earnhardt Jr. was pretty much a master at Daytona in his Cup career as he is the only driver with a career Avg. Driver Rating over 90 here.

– Dale Earnhardt is the only driver that is on both the Avg. Finish and Laps Led% tables above, showing just how good he was at Daytona.

– With a win this weekend William Byron would become the first driver to win his 4th Daytona Cup race since Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2015.

– The fact Cale Yarborough has twice as many Poles as anyone else in the table above tells just how fast he was at Daytona.

T10	Bill Elliott	9	10	Richard Petty	29.73	22

– If Denny Hamlin can get a Top 3 finish this weekend then he would get his 9th career Daytona Top 3 finish, and thus would join the Daytona Top 3 list above.

Most Daytona Top 5’s All-time			Best Top 5% All-time (5+ Daytona starts)

T8	Bill Elliott	15	9	Lee Petty	42.86	3
10	Benny Parsons	14	10	Darel Dieringer	40.91	9

– Dale Earnhardt being 6th in the Top 5% list is super impressive since he’s the only driver on the list that raced in the restrictor plate era. Furthermore he is the only driver on both Top 10 lists below, which is further evidence of just how good he was here.

– Cale Yarborough winning 3 straight races was thanks to a rain storm washing out the 1968 Duels, otherwise the only way he could have had 3 straight in those days was by winning Duel 1 and Duel 2.
