WoO's West Coast Swing - By The Numbers

The "Greatest Show on Dirt" completed their annual West Coast swing last weekend as they wrapped things up at Keller Auto (Kings) Speedway and Perris Auto Speedway. It was another successful trip for many, a disappointment for some, and a blunt realization for a select few who did not achieve their goals.

However, in this article, we're not about to be subjective and judge drivers based on our own personal expectations. No...that hardly seems fair. What we can do is delve into the behind-the-scenes numbers. We'll touch on the obvious facts and give you a few others that you'll only find here. You know, those silly stats that only the diehard race fans give rat's behind about. So let's get to it.
