Interesting Season 26 fun fact in Gold Cup!
All the drivers in current top 10 standings in Gold Cup have at least 1 victory in Gold Cup.. Foyt was the lone hold out until New Hampshire.. The top 6 drivers in series and standing do have 4k+ rating! So at one time or another the drivers below 4k have been beaten by extremely lesser rated drivers.. With Foyt now 3300 rating the bottom winner 2 2700 rating also has 2 wins and only driver in top 10 racing the Ford car..
The ford driver with 2700 rating is Sklerikova.. Relampago who is 5th overall drive the Toyota car.. that's car has won 5 times this season.. Briand in a chevy leads the season by a wide margin has 10 wins.. But turning the fastest laps there is a tie Och's and Foyt both have 6..
So while the champion will Likely be Briand! who wins each race and who has fastest car each race is not.. Just because driver turns the fastest lap or wins the Pole.. Unlike every other season series you may not end up with the checkered flag even if you do not DNF make a mistake or damage your car!
Just some interesting facts just how competitive this season has been.. With a little different luck with safety cars and a drivers individual bad luck it appears any of the top 10 drivers could make a case they would be champion!
:)
Congratz!
Nice Nascar win over a tough field that includes six 4K ranked drivers!
