There were 5 Players who led the standings this season, who also led the standings last season.
Boogity, CanadaBob, Cobaka, Cyncom1, Satrndan
                       
1.  The best finishing player using a provisional was Retiree.  He finished in 22nd position in the final standings.  

(2019 - Blacknight - 7th)   (2018 - Gordo - 28th)   (2017 USMCKoontz - 8th)   (2016 Copnter- 18th)   (2015 Satrndan- 14th)   
(2014 Cobaka- 7th)   (2013 Gwk2007- 15th)   (2012 Nascargary- 31st)   (2011 Cobaka-10th)

2.   The NGFL 2020 champion, Gogogreen, led the points for just 2 races this season.   Talladega2, Phoenix2

3.  There were 2 players that led the point standings for just one race.  Cobaka, Cyncom1
2nd consecutive season for Cyncom1 to lead one race of the standings.  (the 2nd player to lead both times)

4.  Satrndan led the standings most during the regular season. (11 races)   After Dover2, he didn't lead the points again.
Same race ending, different Champion.
    
5. There were 4 players that finished in the top 10 in final standings that finished in the top 10 in 2019 as well.  
                                                            Boogity, Cobaka, Fhantomn, Satrndan

The Odd Facts...

a.  ModestoMS finished 2nd in both Daytona Oval races.  

b.  Retiree won Loudon but then lost the win due to a penalty.   He went right ahead and won Michigan1, the very next race.

In the SAME WEEKEND!

c.  Jban942 finished 6th in both Pocono races with 2 different teams.

d.  Snowbird finished 15th in both Michigan races with 2 different teams.

e.  Jban942 & MRHSCoach were battling, side by side in 2 consecutive races.  Both Top 10 finishes.  (Talladega1, Pocono1)
They did not have the same team in either race.

On the Other side of the coin...

1.   Gordo lost his bid for 6 consecutive seasons with a win.   2015 - 2019

2.   Boogity & Cobaka lost their bid for 5 consecutive seasons with a win.   2016 - 2019  
                          
3.   Copnter & Lisa4ever6 lost their bid for 4 consecutive seasons with a win.  2017 - 2019  

4.   MRHSCoach & Sassy68 lost their bid for 3 consecutive seasons with a win.  2018-2019
 
5. There were 4 players who won in 2019 but did not win in 2020.  Missed a chance to start a streak!
Cyncom1, Mlc73208, Snowbird, WithOneL
