OK, so what yer tellin me is, this is NOT the week to bet the mortgage on Ward...
 
It's your mortgage, but Ward has struggled at the Glen.

Career 8 starts beginning in 1994.

Best Finish 19th in 1995
Best Qualifying 7th in 2000 (his only top ten)
Average Finish 30.37
Average Start 21
4 DNF's
 
The very thought of Ward on a road course scares the lunch out of me. The boy got talent, but ain't nobody gonna nickname him Parnelli, that's for sure.

Maybe NASCAR should let him put a 4X4 kit under his car for the road courses...
 
I would have never thought Wally would have such a good average at the Glen.
 
HS, how many wins at the Glen for each of those who are currently Cup drivers?? I think Jeff leads, but could be wrong. PURRRRRR
 
Wins for current WC drivers

Jeff Gordon - 4
Mark Martin - 3
Rusty Wallace - 2
Ricky Rudd - 2
Steve Park - 1
Geoff Bodine - 1
Kyle Petty - 1

what are the averages at somoma and the averages for both road courses combined and who has the most wins at both road courses combined
 
Smack

I can probably dig all that up for ya. It'll take a little bit of work. Stay tuned.
 
alright where do you get your info from its so hard to get info on nacar pre 1993 on the net unles its specific stats on a single driver
 
You're right it is hard to find.

I have a lot of old data on my computer, but sometimes I have to compile single driver stats to get to the answer.

Winners of every race are easy to find, but the full results are much tougher. Qualifying records are even worse.
 
Dales averages at the different road courses.

Riverside

Avg finish 13th in 8 races

Sears Point

Avg finish 8.6 in 12 races

Watkins Glen

Avg Finish 11.53 in 15 races
