Had the ENTIRE 160 laps at Pocono been based on if each driver achieved the result of their Optimal Lap Model for every lap, this is approximately where the fastest cars would've finished on track *Details below Hopefully @dennyhamlin doesn't tell me I'm way off this week

These are the lap times the model is projecting from @dennyhamlin and Byron. The short run speed carrying the 24 (and most of the other car for that matter) over Hamlin in the overall graphic, but Hamlin has them at the end of the run. 24 in Red 11 in Blue

Had the ENTIRE 200 laps at Michigan been based on if each driver achieved the result of their Optimal Lap Model for every lap, this is approximately where the fastest cars would've finished on track The 11 was really fast, but wow they improved from where they started today

To those who ask, the 45, 9, 20, etc speed isn't going to be seen here. Yes they were "included" in calculations, but when other cars get faster as the race goes on and those cars are in the garage they aren't going to be able to make the list with too few runs

Optimal Lap Model takes into account when drivers are in dirty air/clean air, tire degradation, and a driver's lap time inconsistency to estimate the expected best possible lap time of the car for each lap through a run.

Am I crazy, or if @CoreyLaJoie does this ram deal again next year, is he a fringe title contender?

Really want to shout out @FreddieKraft. For the 2nd year in a row he and @BubbaWallace are tracking to be top 10 for lowest crash rate, but are also in contention for the highest terminal crash rate. They don't crash a lot, but when they do, they do it right 😂😂

Heard Dale Jr talking about who the championship threats may be this year, so I thought I'd post some graphs and let the people weigh in These are the Team focused graphs. Driver graphs are below in comments Who's your way too early championship pick?

Had the ENTIRE 300 laps at Nashville been based on if each driver achieved the result of their Optimal Lap Model for every lap, this is approximately where the fastest cars would've finished on track Note: This week's data leans short run heavy due to minimal long runs
