NASCAR Six Year Flat Track Scoring Trends
Flat tracks comprise nearly 1/5th of the schedule every season (Pocono, Indy, New Hampshire and Phoenix). Out of the different track types I think there the best gauge for who makes the best horsepower.
A rank of one means the driver scored the most points on this track type in a given season. If drivers missed a lot of races during a season I’ve excluded them from scoring for the year.
