    Oh yes, keep it going Nick. However, this has been a labor of love for you for a while now. There's no reason to rush it. If you turn out 1 episode a month, consider that a victory. Those of us who are on your Discord know what to look for.

    This is awesome Nick. I have a strong love/hate relationship with iRating, so hearing "the first official NASCAR driver to fall below 1,000 iRating" made me feel a little bit better. I'm _almost_ back to 1350, lol.

    for sure keep on going. very fascinating to see the rise and fall presented in this way. so many layers of fascination, especially when you start comparing the graphs of particular drivers to each other. I just keep thinking of drivers and imagining what their graph might look like. Who might have the biggest delta between their lowest and highest point?
    And if it was possible to truly include all results from all series ever, I bet Dick Trickle woulda been rolling out as the #1 car in his cup starts😂

  • @SimRacerKirk17
    @SimRacerKirk17 Місяць тому +2

    This is a great way to see who might be the best driver of all time. Statistically I mean I rating you gain and lose based off of your finishes but those consistently winning Will have the highest IRating.

    • @kneebon5
      @kneebon5  Місяць тому +1

      The problem is irating inflation, as busch series and trucks starts, rookie cup drivers will start out with higher iRatings, raising the higher irating guys in modern day. Will have to look at SoF vs high iR to really see the gap to the rest of their competition

    • @brandonmccreary3360
      @brandonmccreary3360 Місяць тому

      That makes sense considering the progression of competition over the years. Sure the King won 200 races but I’m sure his avg SoF is way lower than the modern guys. Gonna be really interesting to see

      @gregmacgowan9351 yeah there is for sure inflation in irating as it goes, even in the 50s the top guys werent getting to race 2k-4k guys at the end of their careers, so pool of available irating gets larger as well.

    This is a seriously cool project! First thing I thought about after watching was the AAA/USAC Stock Car Series. Unfortunately stats on the web for those seem incomplete, but I know USAC themselves are sticklers for keeping stats, so it might be worth it for someone to reach out to them for more complete stats on that series? I'm also wondering if the current ASA ownership would know where to find records for the previous iterations of the various ASA Stock Car series. Keep it up!

    • @kneebon5
      @kneebon5  Місяць тому +2

    I wonder where Richie Evans would end up after 8 consecutive modified championships. I don't know if all those stats are available though. Racing Reference doesn't seem to have modified results before the 1980s. So I'll change the question to I wonder where Mike Stefanik will wind up after winning championships in both the Busch North and Modified tour multiple years running.
