OK, the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season is basically one-quarter complete, plenty of time to notice trend and anomalies in how the year has gone so far.

Here are 10 of the most thought-provoking statistics of the season so far:

Four times in the first six races, the driver who led the most laps didn’t win. The only two times the lap leader was also the race winner were in Las Vegas, where Martin Truex Jr. led 150 of 267 laps, and Auto Club Speedway, where Kyle Larson led 110 or 202 laps.

Maybe there was more to Stewart-Haas Racing’s switch from Chevrolet to Ford than it first appeared when Kurt Busch won the Daytona 500 and Kevin Harvick dominated at Atlanta.  Last year at this time, Harvick led the points, Busch was eighth and Danica Patrick 26^th. This year, Harvick is 10^th, Busch 19^th and Patrick 29^th in points.

Second-year Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott has three top-five finishes, has led 169 laps and is second points. The stats for his teammates are nowhere near as good.

Kasey Kahne: one top five, 7 laps led, 12^th in points.

Jimmie Johnson: zero top fives, 28 laps led, 14^th in points.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: zero top fives, 8 laps led, 25^th in points.

In three of the six races this year, 2003 NASCAR champion Matt Kenseth has scored only 1 point, the minimum number a driver can earn in a race. Most of Kenseth’s bad fortune can be traced to being caught in other people’s crashes and a massive tire failure.

In six races, Landon Cassill has qualified 27^th four times and finished 27^th three times. At both Las Vegas and Martinsville, he qualified 27^th and finished 27^th.

Clint Bowyer is somehow eighth in points without leading a lap so far this season. Other big-name drivers who have not lead any of the first six races include Matt Kenseth, Danica Patrick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and rookie Erik Jones.

Jimmie Johnson and Matt DiBenedetto have the same number of top-10 finishes so far this season: One. Johnson has not qualified better than 14^th this year and hasn’t led since Las Vegas.

Kyle Busch leads the series in laps led, with 413. Busch has two top-three finishes in the last three races. Kevin Harvick is second in laps led with 342, but he doesn’t have a top-five finish so far this season and he hasn’t led any of the last four races.

The longest winless streak among active Cup drivers belongs to Derrike Cope, who hasn’t won a race in his last 334 starts, dating back to Dover in 1990. Just to put that in perspective, the last time Cope won a Cup race, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Ty Dillon and Erik Jones weren’t even born yet.

Neither Hendrick Motorsports nor Joe Gibbs Racing has won in the first six races this year. The last time one of those teams didn’t win in the first six races of a season was 1994, when Terry Labonte won at North Wilkesboro for Hendrick in the seventh race of that season.
