- Alex Bowman had the best finish out of the five, finishing with an average of 11.6
- His best finish in the period was 5th, while Busch and Logano both won races.
- Bowman's consistency across the races helped him earn the top spot.
- Without his outlier of 29th in his finishes, his average would be 7.25!
- Finish is not always indicative of performance of a driver at a given time.
- William Byron had multiple strong runs, but was crashed at Darlington and blew a tire at Kansas while leading.
- Talladega is an outlier for most in this list, as it is a restrictor plate and crashes frequently happen at the unpredictable track.
- Logano's average finish is greatly boosted by his win and 3rd place finish.
- Busch has been wrecked by factors out of his control at Bristol, Dover, and Darlington. His average running position would be a better stat than finish to show his current strong pace.
