Driver Rankings for Pocono (Sunday)

Was the first race at Pocono exciting enough for you? If not, don’t worry… We get to do it all over Sunday. But this time the format will be a bit different….

.The teams are required to use the same car they used in Saturday’s race. They are only allowed to make minor adjustments. The changes allowed are the same adjustments the teams can make during a normal pit stop.

The drivers who finished 1-20 will be inverted, so the driver who finished 20^th (Chris Biescher) will be on the pole and the driver who finished 1^st (Alex Bowman) will start 20^th. The drivers who finished 21^st-38^th will start in their finishing position from Saturday’s race. * Any driver who goes to a backup car will start in the back.

The race today is 10 laps longer than yesterday’s race. That may not sound like a lot, but it is 25 miles and could affect fuel strategy for today’s race.

The best way to predict what will happen Sunday is to focus on what happened Saturday. I used the Driver Ranking, Average Green Flag Speed, Quality Passes and Average Running Position for Saturdays race to calculate the finishing order for Sunday’s race. I also factored in the driver rating from the last 4 races (so momentum is in the equation) and the driver rating using the 550 HP aero package this season.
