Bing predicts NASCAR Sprint Cup standings and winner
Before your place your bets (sportsmans or otherwise) on the upcoming NASCAR Chase Grid Battle®, take a look at Bing’s predictions.
By analyzing statistical information on NASCAR–including race history, driver information, and season standings, then combining it with web and social sentiment– Bing can predict which driver is more likely to win the race and who’ll just be smelling brake dust.
Here is Bing’s current prediction for the five top qualifiers:
- Kevin Harvick
- Joey Logano
- Dale Earnhardt Jr.
- Brad Keselowski
- Jimmie Johnson
Who will be crowned the ultimate winner and who will be the also-rans? Here’s Bing’s take:
- Brad Keselowski – based on average position in recent seasons
- Kevin Harvick – based on recent average position on similar tracks
- Joey Logano – based on recent average position on similar tracks
- Kurt Busch – based on laps led in recent sessions
- Kyle Busch – based on laps led in recent sessions
Of course, these are just predictions and they can change as other races take place.
