Had the entire 267 laps at Miami gone green and the final positions were based on speed alone (Median Lap) Kyle Larson would've finished approximately 2.5 miles ahead of 2nd place

Optimal Lap Model takes into account when drivers are in dirty air/clean air, tire degradation, and a driver's lap time inconsistency to estimate the expected best possible lap time of the car for each lap through a run.

Lap Time Consistency Best Average Gap to Optimal Lap Time on Intermediate Tracks 2025 These are the 5 best/worst drivers for consistently being close to their car's optimal lap time on any given lap as calculated by optimal lap model. Best thought of as a driver speed metric

Had the ENTIRE 267 laps at Texas been based on if each driver achieved the result of their Optimal Lap Model for every lap, this is approximately where the fastest cars would've finished on track

@Doug__Saxon 😂😂

@AR_Analytics Ummmm you typically tell me roughly 1/2 hours after the races. But so far chaotic

What is this race

@MWill0913 🤦🏼‍♂️

@AR_Analytics Time for a new graph lol

Anybody know who has good cars today?

@MWill0913 Well with everyone just riding around at 40% I got no idea😂 That was kind of my point

@AR_Analytics We wait for you to tell us

I feel like tv’s trying to sell me that I should like this, and I really just want to see what I saw yesterday but maybe a little faster and harder to drive with the best drivers in the world

Talladega would not have been my first guess after how the year started😂

@Nastalkin @EricEstepp17 Glad people enjoyed it! I’ll be back for Kansas in the fall for sure

Need more of @AR_Analytics on the pod @EricEstepp17 loved the tangents this week!

Had the ENTIRE 300 laps in the O'Reilly race at Bristol been based on if each driver achieved the result of their Optimal Lap Model for every lap, this is approximately where the fastest cars would've finished on track

Had the ENTIRE 500 laps at Bristol been based on if each driver achieved the result of their Optimal Lap Model for every lap, this is approximately where the fastest cars would've finished on track The Blaney fans are going to be after me again... he had 0.05 a lap on Larson
