1. The best finishing player using a provisional was Keeksl. She finished 3rd in the final standings. (Same as Herdman90 in 2021!)
Looks like a provisional isn't a season killer!
(2021 Herdman90) - (2020 Retiree - 22nd) - (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 2022 champion, Jban942, didn't lead the points until Texas2, leading only 3 races this season!
3. During the season, 2 players led the standings once. Once they lost it, they didn't get it back.
(Keeksl - Talladega2) (Bhruuski - Las Vegas2, Homestead, Martinsville2 - the whole 3rd round!)
4. Boogity & Fhantomn each led the standings the most during the season. (12 races each)
5. There were 4 players that finished in the 2022 top 10 in final standings, finished in the top 10 in 2021 as well.
Boogity, Cobaka, Fhantomn, Keeksl
6. Bhruuski & Keeksl have started a streak of finishing in the top 10 of the final standings!
7. Skoalbndt3 was DL in Daytona1, and co won the very next race, California.
8. 4 players finished in 2022 COTA in the same position as they did in 2021. Jwwilsonpe, Lisa4ever6, ModestoMS, Sjared12
9. FordsforFun finished DL in Kansas1, Charlotte1 consecutively. Then went on and won WWTR & Sonoma consecutively right after!
10. Atlanta2 defending champ finished in 3rd. Atlanta1 winner finished 2nd. Real close to a sweep or defense!
11. Lisa4ever6 has just one win at Daytona (2011). She finished runner up in both Daytona races this season! So close twice.
12. There were 4 players who finished both Phoenix races in the same position.
N2redlines (2nd) FordsforFun (5th) Skids (11th) GogoGreeen (22nd)
Another weird coincidence!
13. Cobaka, Copnter, Jwwilsonpe each had the same score in Road America & Atlanta2 with the same team.
(consecutive races)
14. 2 players in the first two races of the season, (Daytona1, California) finished in the same positions.
N2redlines (10th), TeamMops (35th) had same finish.
A lot of weird stuff, right? Leaves a person wondering?
On the Other side of the coin...
1. GrayKids lost their bid for 4 consecutive seasons with a win. 2019 - 2021
2. CorvetteKen, Gin4MattyD, Jwwilsonpe, Sjared12 lost their bid for 3 consecutive seasons with a win. 2020 - 2021
3. There were 3 players who won in 2021 but did not win in 2022. Missed a chance to start a streak!
Copnter, CorvetteKen, Sassy68
