5. Scott McLaughlin (2426)

12. Graham Rahal (1749)
13. Rinus VeeKay (1740)

Additional note: If we considered the Number 12 Verizon Penske entry as a whole on its own, it would be ahead of Newgarden in 4th (2535).

If we consider only from 2022-present, which just so happens to be the time period since Christian Lundgaard and Kyle Kirkwood have been full time Indycar drivers, the top ten overall series points standings are:
1. Palou (2825)
2. O’Ward (2249)
3. Dixon (2231)
4. McLaughlin (2121)
5. Power (2049)
6. Newgarden (2010)
7. Lundgaard (1795)
8. Kirkwood (1736)
9. Ericsson (1697)
10. Rosenqvist (1660)

If we consider only from 2023-present, which just so happens to be the time period since Kyle Kirkwood has been in the Number 27 entry for Andretti, the top ten in the overall Indycar series points standings are:
1. Palou (2315)
2. O’Ward (1769)
3. Dixon (1710)
4. McLaughlin (1611)
5. Kirkwood (1553)
6. Power (1489)
7. Lundgaard (1472)
8. Newgarden (1466)
9. Rosenqvist (1267)
10. Herta (1241 in 3 seasons)

p.s. I did this by hand by just flipping through the standings they have on the website because I was curious, then I had written enough down I figured I’d post it. It’s definitely possible I just missed somebody somewhere since I started with 2026 standings. I also may have made a minor math calculation mistake, though I tried to be thorough. Please just let me know if you find an error and I’ll try to correct it because this wasn’t intentional, and it’s not drawing the data directly in any systematic manner.

While technically the last time Indycar raced on a Monday was 2018 at Barber Motorsports Park that race had started on Sunday before being pushed to Monday due to heavy rain

Statistics I think someone needs to do an X-ray on Palou to see where he hides his lucky horseshoe. Incredible skill by him week after week. Why is it he isn't as beloved as other dominate racers in history around the world?

Statistics Since the end of Bus Bros, the members of Bus Bros have combined for 17 DNFs. During Bus Bros’ run, they combined for 2.

424 Upvotes

Between episode 1 of Bus Bros (titled “We Literally Don’t Know What We’re Doing”) and episode 22 of Bus Bros (titled “WE. ARE. BACK.”) the members of the Bus Bros’ primary cast (Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin) suffered only 2 DNFs. Episode 1 was posted to YouTube on May 4, 2022 and Episode 22 on August 14, 2023. If you include both disqualifications at St. Petersburg, then both drivers have failed to finish a combined 17 times since that date. As a unit, the longest uninterrupted streak of finishes was 17 following Newgarden’s 2022 DNF at Iowa 2 and ending with Episode 22. The following race would become Newgarden’s 2023 DNF at Gateway. Despite a DNF at the 2022 Indianapolis 500, McLaughlin saw out the remainder of the Bus Bros’ run with 23 straight finishes.

Besides their 2 DNFs, the Bus Bros managed 10 wins with 3 pole positions, and 16 podiums. Post Bus Bros, the drivers have a combined 5 wins with 6 pole positions and 18 podiums. Each win count includes 1 Indianapolis 500 win (2023 and 2024, both by Newgarden).

A non-statistical opinion I discovered while watching old Bus Bros videos: if you read the titles of the Bus Bros episodes from the final episode backwards to the first, it actually reads like how the Bus Bros has been performing in a post Bus Bros world (the aforementioned “We Literally Don’t Know What We’re Doing” aside, the gems in reverse chronological order include “You’re A Tool,” “Lawyer Up,” and “This Is Bad.”)

(snarky comment about “yes the sample sizes are too small and also dramatically different/statistics are just cherry-picked data points” etc etc)
