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.

Green-flag passes won vs. the average car running where they run. Positive = a genuine passer.

Track positions gained over the closing laps vs. expectation. Positive = strong when it counts.
