Stats Are Just Numbers - Michigan and Road America Edition

All three of NASCAR's series are racing this weekend, just not in the same place nor state. The NASCAR Sprint Cup and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series comes off two amazing and long races at Bristol and head to Michigan for the final time of 2016. The NASCAR Xfinity Series takes their final right turn of the season as they head to Road America in Wisconsin. After this weekend there are only 2 more chances for drivers to make the chase in the Cup Series but the other series still have just a few weeks so stress will be up. This is the return of the Stats Are Just Numbers Series for the remainder of 2016.

Interesting Fact - In 1994 Just after Wally Dallenbach, Jr. was released from his ride in Richard Petty's Pontiac, IndyCar veteran John Andretti took over the seat and turned heads by qualifying second. However, the story of the weekend was a savage crash in practice that left Ernie Irvan critically injured with head injuries. Irvan would recover from near-fatal injury over a year later. The race itself began with a six-car melee where Bobby Hillin, Jr. nearly flew over the second turn wall. Geoff Bodine won on Hoosier Tires.
