Darlington, Five-year Avg. Finish

Jeff Gordon stands head and shoulders above the rest of the field at Darlington over the last five years with an average result of 2.2. He earned that near perfect number with a perfect sweep of the top-five in that span.

Teammate Jimmie Johnson is second on the list with a 5.6 and three other drivers (Denny Hamlin at 6.3, Dale Earnhardt Jr. at 7.2 and Mark Martin at 8.8) have averages of better than 10th. That is proof that Darlington is indeed a rhythm track where momentum is one of the biggest keys to success.
