Hi #NASCAR fans. We take a data-driven look at whether Chase Elliott needs a new crew chief this afternoon at 5:30 p.m. East on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Getting ready to jump on with Moody at 5:30 East to release the newest data analysis!

The 2024 points-per-race report compares drivers on a more level playing field. NASCAR's shift to a playoff system complicates comparing driver performance. In some years, a playoff driver couldn't finish lower than 16th — even when he deserved to. #NASCAR #By the Numbers

The total NASCAR schedule, including overtimes and shortened races, added up to 126,449.9 miles and 9,744 laps. But no driver actually ran every mile or every lap.
