Boom and bust with Austin Hill, but Chandler Smith and Sheldon Creed are legitimate contenders too.

Picks

First of all:

Does average running position matter on super speedways?
Not really.

With that out of the way, let's look at drivers by finish rate and top ten rate.

Twelve drivers with five super speedway starts this season have finished all five of those races. Only one of those drivers does not have a caution involvement, as parsed out by Lap Raptor: Chandler Smith. Smith also has the best average finish on supers and, with Sheldon Creed, is the only driver with four top tens on supers. No one has five. Creed has two super speedway caution involvement and has the second best average finish.

The only other interesting driver is Austin Hill, for obvious reasons. He's three for five in T10s, but those are all wins. And while he has three caution involvements, he's finished every race and has the third-best AFP.
