Just like the NASCAR Top 35 Driver Rankings, I’ve taken the drivers that are outside the top 35 in NASCAR points and ranked them for you according to the same method using NASCAR Loop Data. I’ve scored these critical factors of driver performance:
I ranked them according to each factor and combined each ranking to find each drivers overall cumulative ranking to determine what I believe is a very effective ranking system.
The problem with the drivers in this list is that they may run a ‘partial’, ‘only-a-few’ or ‘not-at-all’ race schedule for the 2010 NASCAR season. Ironically (or is it sadistically?) for you, odds are that most of these drivers appear in the lowest-tier driver groups you are faced with when picking your fantasy NASCAR team. I’ve included a column in this ranking that lists how many races and how many DNQ’s (did not qualify) each driver had in 2009.
