* AccuPredict NASCAR driver predictions are based upon an algorithm by statistician Cliff DeJong. AccuPredict predictions are generated each Monday before the race based on available metrics in our historical NASCAR database. This accounts for 66% of the total metrics used in Cliff's formula. AccuPredict is updated two more times after Monday. Once after Happy Hour (usually Friday but sometimes Saturday). This puts AccuPredict's NASCAR driver predictions at 83% complete. AccuPredict is updated again after qualifying (usually on Saturday but sometimes Friday). At this point AccuPredict has 100% of the metrics used in its algorithm. As such, there may be race weekends that AccuPredict's top-5 drivers and darkhorse driver changes as more metrics are used to reach the final 100% prediction.

You can view the AccuPredict NASCAR driver finish predictions page to see how complete the prediction formula is.
