So, I was trying to figure out who got the boot from NASCAR in 2013. It was a wild year, Jimmie Johnson snagged his sixth Cup championship, but there had to be some drama, right?
First, I started digging around for the 2013 NASCAR season results. I mean, you gotta know who was racing to know who got kicked out, you know?
I stumbled upon a website that had all the race stats from that year. It was a goldmine! It had everything, from the Daytona races at the start of the season all the way to the final showdowns.
I looked through each race, checking out who was on top and who was lagging. The site had information on each race, like the “Goody’s Headache Relief Shot 500” at Texas Motor Speedway and the “AAA Texas 500” at Phoenix International Raceway.
Combing through the driver standings, I started to see some patterns. Some drivers were consistently in the top, while others, well, not so much. It was a bit of a detective work, but I was determined to get to the bottom of it.
It took a while, but I finally figured it out. Based on the final standings and some news articles I found from that time, it wasn’t just one driver who got “booted”.
-
Some drivers lost their rides because their teams shut down.
-
Others moved to different teams or even different racing series.
-
And some just didn’t make the cut for the next season based on their performance.
It was a mix of things, really. Some big names ended up without a full-time ride in the Cup Series for 2014. It’s a tough sport, and only the best of the best can stay at the top.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of 2013 NASCAR. It wasn’t as simple as one driver getting the axe, but it was definitely an interesting journey figuring it all out!
