[TS FAN]

Thanks for the info. Great week of racing so far IMO

[Chris Thomason]

That's cool dude. Thanks for sharing. Surely can't argue the week Richards, JD, and T Erb has had. See if they can carry over to tonight...when it matters

[Snake X3]

Awesome! Thanks!

Thoughts after 7 nights:

- Bloomquist not yet "on his game". 2 top fives, and a bunch of mediocre runs. Still working...

- Kyle Bronson is hell on wheels early in the night. I have to believe he is frustrated by his feature finishes. Just keep pluggin' away, it'll come...

- Jonathan Davenport. Wow. About what we expected. The only "off nights" are the nose damage at Golden Isles on the second night, and a broken shock bolt on Thursday at East Bay. Other than that, he has gone 3, 4, 1, 4, 1.

- Bowyer cars: 10 total nights, 4 top tens (with a best finish of 8th).

- Brent Larson hasn't yet been able to carry Golden Isles speed (6th and 11th) over to East Bay. Seems like an easy guy to root for.

- Tim McCreadie struggling, trying a different car

- Devin Moran has been fun to watch at East Bay

- After the highlight first night at Golden Isles, Hudson O'Neal has not yet returned to the top 10. I am not mentioning that to dog him... Just looking over stats. He'll be back up front soon enough, it takes time to learn.

- Brandon Overton not quite as fast the last two nights. Interesting that the borrowed motor carried him to his most success at East Bay thus far.

- Earl Pearson running pretty solid.

- Ditto for Bobby Pierce. Sure, he hasn't been running at the front. But his finishing positions are nothing to hang their heads about. He'll get it...

- Rocket #1 cars: 14 nights, 11 top fives, 13 top sixes, the worst finish was 12th when Sheppard had to come out of the Last Chance. These two teams are unreal.

- Gregg Satterlee has been pretty racy the last few nights at Easy Bay, with two 3rds.

- Brian Shirley has not had a pleasant Speedweeks, and evidently had enough of East Bay. Better luck at Volusia...

Wow ... awesome. Back in my writing days, DLM Magazine called me the "Stats Guy". I'm a total stats geek. Thank you for this. You going to continue it?

[dirt33]

I will hope to TerryM, thank you. The action so far this Speedweeks has been outstanding, and it sure keeps a guy fired up! I give a huge thumbs up to all of the drivers, crews, fans, and supporters that are putting in the effort to keep this sport rolling. Keep up the excellent work all!

thanks for all the information it must be time consuming for you to get started but it makes it nice for a lot of us ! Thank you !

[klemmabyna]

dirt33: thank you from a stats freak. and the commentary is an added bonus. well done!

[CageFaraday]

The Rocket House cars are definitely the hottest teams going, still not a fan but i can admit they are on fire. Seems like speed weeks has always been like that, someone gets hot. Moyer did it several times and O'Neal did it and another universal truth for Speedweeks for the last 30 years, Bloomquist rarely runs very strong consistently at East bay, Volusia is usually his track.

[Hollis]

Dang can't beat that .Thank you

[dirt33]

Bloomquist rarely runs very strong consistently at East bay, Volusia is usually his track.

It will be interesting to see how things play out at Volusia. Certainly there are a few heavy hitters hoping to turn their Speedweeks fortunes around. And of course we know the 49, 1, 1, 116 and likely 91 and 40B are going to continue to be fast.

[Snake X3]

This is really great. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[Mud Packer]

Thanks for your hard work on the stat sheet. Very interesting to compare race to race.

[CRK]

What’s even more impressive for the Rocket house cars is they managed those numbers after pretty poor qualifying efforts. Sheppard was just bad. Richards drew really bad numbers (first and last 4 nights I think). They raced really well, that is for sure.

[Goodwrench]

Great info

[Bob Hubbard]

Nice work ....

[dirt33]

Davenport/Richards/Sheppard have combined to lead 68.6% of all feature laps through 12 nights.

McCreadie has turned things around the last two nights. Glad to see it.

Great stat. Really tells the story of Speedweeks so far. Fortunately it boils down to being good at 3 tracks and there are a lot more to visit this year. Hopefully the trend doesn't continue or what looked like a very competitive season will be a real snooze.
