Last week at Gateway was an interesting race with a lot of crashes, brake failures, and cautions. However, it also had some good racing and interesting strategy that ended with Kyle Larson in Cup Series Victory Lane for the first time in 2026. Now, we go to a racetrack that’s had it’s fair share of caution filled races in the past, and that’s just what we may have at Bristol if the aggression is the same as last week. Down below you will find different statistics from all of the NASCAR Cup races here at Bristol Motor 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: Bristol.
Active Drivers will be highlighted like so
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2026 Cup Series season.

– Winning the Pole and Race was common in the early years of Bristol, but not as much of recent. However, the last 4 to do it have been JGR drivers, so watch out if JGR wins the Pole this weekend.
