Beyond the Box Score · 2026
Two metrics you won't find on the timing screen. Both are residuals — a driver measured against the average car running in the same part of the field, so a mid-pack driver who overachieves isn't buried under the leaders' raw numbers. Ranked over the season's 36 loop-data regulars.
Adjusted Pass Efficiency
Green-flag passes won vs. the average car running where they run. Positive = a genuine passer.
