@Rob F As it stands in the record books, they don’t even give him credit for the leading the last lap. Perhaps NASCAR could retroactively give him the 1 lap led for the last lap but until then, the fact still remains.
]]>William Byron finished first and last at the 2 daytona races in the same year of 2020. He also won at his duel.
]]>@Rob F No if you go back and look it said he didn’t lead a lap. So he wasn’t credited with leading the last lap
]]>@Ty K Yep, there was no lucky dog, there weren’t nearly as many cautions to bring the field back together, etc. Ned Jarrett once won a race by 14 laps over 2nd place!
]]>Within one year starting with the Gen 3 car, Every Gen car first full season was the same time that either The Stock Market and/or US Economy crashed or dropped.
]]>In 2017, Michael McDowell completed more laps than anybody else in the Cup Series. He then proceeded to do it again last season in 2022. So theoretically under the 1972-73 points format, McDowell would be a two time champion.
]]>@Ty K there were typically about 5 cars on the lead lap in the early 90s except at the superspeedways and road courses
]]>Well he had to be credited for leading the last lap if he won right?
]]>Jeff Gordon only had 3 last lap passes for the win in his career. It was 4 if you include a duel race. He was only passed for the lead on the last lap twice, or 3 times if you include one in the Winston.
