I thought maybe some here may find these numbers interesting.

1.267 In seconds, the average margin of victory in 2013. It’s the lowest average MOV since 2005.

3 The number of track qualifying records broken by Jimmie Johnson this season, the most in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

5 The number of drivers who won in 2013 after going winless in 2012: Brian Vickers, Carl Edwards, David Ragan, Jamie McMurray and Martin Truex Jr.

10 The average number of leaders per race, up from 9.39 in 2012.

11 The number of drivers who broke a track qualifying record this season. They are Johnson (three), Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth (two each), Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, and Marcos Ambrose (one each). 



17 The number of different winners this season, up from 15 different winners last season. The modern era record for different winners in a season is 19.

19 The number of track qualifying records broken this season.

19.4 The average number of lead changes per race, up from 18.9 last season.



20 The number of races that ended with a margin of victory less than one second, up from 17 races last season.

46 The number of drivers who led at least one lap, up from 42 last season.



51.2 The percentage of cars that finished on the lead lap, the highest mark since 2009.



83.1 The percentage of cars that were running at the finish of races, up from 74.7 percent in 2012.

971 The number of Green Flag Passes for the Lead, an increase from the 946 Green Flag Passes for the Lead in 2012.

127,306 The number of Green Flag Passes, the second highest total since the inception of Loop Data in 2005 -- and 17,398 more passes than 2012.
 
That's way interesting.

Great for me to use against a buddy who is all about F1, and saying that NASCAR is just round roundly.

Geeze...... I need this to get through the off season .

... but the gen 6 sucks lol its funny how we don't even notice how much better it really is.. all because of Kasey Kahne :p
 
I thought it was a pretty good season, but would have thought the number of mystery debri cautions would have been higher.
 
Here's another stat

2:150 - two tires after one hundred fifty laps is faster than four sticker tires
 
Proves that the cars are tougher, faster and more drivable, goals that they wanted to achieve. Racing is better, media coverage... not so much.
