By The Numbers: NASCAR Completes Full Season Amidst Global Pandemic – Jayski's NASCAR Silly Season Site

www.jayski.com www.jayski.com

23.3 – Average age of NASCAR’s national series champions: Cup Series, Chase Elliott (24.11); Xfinity Series, Austin Cindric (22.1); Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, Sheldon Creed (23).

1,190 – Green flag passes for the lead in the NASCAR Cup Series, second-most in the past 14 seasons.

20.0 – The average number of lead changes per NASCAR Cup Series race, the most since 2014 (21.17).

20 - Number of races with a margin of victory of less than a second, most since 2014.

1988 – The last year that NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver won the championship (Bill Elliott).

4 - NASCAR transitioned from a series entitlement model to a premier partner model that welcomed four global leading brands as premier partners – Busch Beer, Coca-Cola, Geico and Xfinity.

3 - Three new teams have announced they will enter the NASCAR Cup Series in 2021, including 23XI Racing owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin.

Even more numbers in the article.
 
The margin of victory is rather misleading with the way the 550 package works but it was a decent season

Those are the facts. The package was designed for more passing and closer racing including being able to pass for the lead. I don't know what is misleading about that. It did what they said it would. Surely you have heard two years of complaints from fans saying they don't like that.
 
Because from a racing purist standpoint it’s nothing more than a game of wake & draft, no throttle response or brake at any of em. It’s a package that is artificially designed to have them bunched closer together. I don’t mind it, but from a racing purist standpoint it’s garbage.

Surely you would realize after Kansas that it’s not that easy to pass for the lead as you think it is.

Dude you can go round and round and have for who knows how long. ..those are statistics..they aren't misleading as you say, that was what the package was designed to do..You have a problem with it? So be it. Why don't ya take off on Gluck's survey percentage next...some of the well used comments..Those people don't know what they are talking about, those are twitter people, that small of a survey doesn't reflect what REAL fans think, on and on.
 
I didn’t say my opinion mattered. And I’ve gladly spent more money on a real racing series lately where stuff like throttle input actually matters so don’t come here with these baseless claims when I’ve spent MY money going to the racetracks.

Tony Stewart’s interview at the 1 minute mark is gold

I wonder what comes under the category of 'NASCAR social media engagements'? Are those strictly what NASCAR itself chooses to post or share, or does it include teams, drivers, sponsors, etc? If the latter, I wonder how much of the bounce might be due to Wallace?

Yeah that is pretty obscure. Another one that is confusing is when they say Nascar's digital platforms without an explanitation of what are they calling digital platforms. Now Wallace's Talladega vid is much easier to compute. That's a pretty large figure and that was shown on other media outlets besides so a person couldn't only see that clip at Twitter but many other places. That explains why Wallace had so many personal sponsors show up.
 
And then we have this: Elliott blew out the Merch. Could have skewed the results of Gluck's survey about was it a good season..Well yeah. Elliott won. :biggrin: 147% is a real nice increase
Licensing
10 - Chase Elliot’s first Cup Series title resulted in the most first-day merchandise sales of any NASCAR champion in the last 10 years.
+78% – Overall NASCAR Shop Sales are significantly up year-over-year / since NASCAR’s return to racing in May, NASCAR Shop Sales are +147% year-over-year.
