What’s Happening?

On Feb. 4, NASCAR and Xfinity unveiled the new Xfinity Fastest Lap award. This bonus point is given to the driver with the fastest lap in all three NASCAR National Series. Though controversial, it will be important to see how this one point affects the overall standings of each series throughout the season.

• When NASCAR announced this award, most fans felt that a gimmick like this could impact the overall season champion. That said, a look at who benefits most from this award will show if it truly affects the outcome of the regular season, playoffs, or championship.
• Disqualified drivers are not eligible for the Fastest Lap award. Non-series championship drivers can earn the award, but they do not receive a bonus point. However, if the fastest-lap winner is ineligible for championship points, the team still receives an owner point. This tracker will note this with: (i). If multiple drivers tie for the award, the driver with the highest finish is awarded the bonus point.
• This tracker will categorize each NASCAR National Series, the Truck, Xfinity, and Cup Seirse, and display who ran the fastest lap in each race. It will also track repeat winners, the driver with the most bonus wins this season, and any interesting trends throughout the season.
