NOTES: Blank spaces showcase driver was not in race
This table looks at only the last six races at this track,
drivers that have a start, and is also sorted by average finish.

A Look at the included data:

- Jeff Gordon sure does lover Darlington with his seven wins at this track.

- This track sure does love drivers getting multiple wins in a row at this track.

- Top tens data means little at this track.  Jack Roush has a small lead over Rick Hendrick, but it does not mean much. 

- Joe Gibbs is the only other team to have a top ten finish in the last six races.

- When it comes to average finish data over the past six races Jimmy Johnson is about as close to perfect as possible.

- Over the past for races though Jeff Gordon has four top three finishes which is even better than Jimmy Johnson.

- Denny Hamlin is hot at this track, but only has two starts.

- Kyle Busch has only one top ten finish in three starts, but has the Sprint Cup points lead

- Dale Earnhardt Jr. has three top ten finishes in the past six races and is second place in the points.

Not in the Data but something to think about:

- The newly paved surface could come into play.  It is going to cause 200MPH + in the straight-aways which is nuts for a track this small.
