@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.
