What happens is Vegas, stays in Vegas…. But not this time as we saw an exciting finish where despite dominating the race Chase Briscoe had to hold on late to beat Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick. Now, we head to Charlotte, but for the first time since 2017 the Playoff/Chase Charlotte race will be on the Oval, not the Roval. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Charlotte 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: Charlotte.

Active means any driver who started a race in the 2026 Cup Series season.
