| DID YOU KNOW? |
Jeff Burton ruined his perfect record last week at Daytona. For the first three times in
his career that he started a race from the pole (2 poles and once by points) he had
finished the race in the top 10. But last week at Daytona, he finished 32nd. This leaves
him with a 75% success rate and in a tie for 6th.
Kurt Busch also fails to finish the job, 16th at Fontana.
The leaders in this category (since 1990) share a famous last name. Dale Sr and Dale
Jr have combined to finish in the top 10 twenty times in the 22 times they started from
the pole since 1990. That's an amazing success rate of over 90%. Kenseth, Martin and
Stewart round out the top 5.
