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, is also sorted by average finish,
and I also throw in the best average starters .

Normal 0

A look at the wins data:

Jeff Gordon has not won in a while at this track, while Jimmy Johnson still has zero wins at this track.

A look at the top tens data:

Jack Roush just flat out owns Michigan over the past six races. Rick Hendrick is slightly better over the past six races than the last time I posted this same data.

Rick Hendrick can say they have at least one driver in the top ten in the past six races, but Roush can still claim two drivers a race.

Richard Childress is very cold at this track with only two drivers over the past six races with a top ten at this track.

Robert Yates had one top ten finish last time I posted data, now they have none.

A look at the average finish data:

Carl Edwards is the best at this track.  Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson have also showcased great dominance at this track over the past six races as well.

Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth have only one crappy finish in the past six races, remove them and you have an average finish under 10.

Kasey Kahne is a driver that has three top five place finishes and three finishes on 29th or worse.

Drivers that do not like this track include Bobby Labonte, Ryan Newman, Mark Martin, Jeff Burton, Kyle Busch, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Clint Boyer.

A look at average start data:

If you look at the average start data you see that it really does not matter if you have a great qualifying average. Jimmy Johnson is the best at qualifying and starting though.
