Crashing ruins the promise of a race day for NASCAR betting fans as well as drivers.

Which NASCAR Drivers Fail To Finish Most Often?
Behind The NASCAR Crash Numbers
You may be surprised by some of these numbers. First, it's obvious that the Dillon boys are grandchildren of a race team owner because they know how to take care of equipment. Harvick, for example, has averaged fewer than two DNFs per season over a period of two decades. Good drivers don't just compete but also avoid other drivers' messes, and the prospect of a crash shouldn't deter any bettor from backing them.
McDowell in the Fast-Lane
McDowell is on the other end of this list. Firstly, he won the 2021 Daytona 500, so we know he can race at a high level in extremely tight traffic. The reason why McDowell's crash rates are so high is that he raced for lower-end teams during the "start-and-park" era following the 2008 financial crash-when sponsors dried up, NASCAR race fields got sparse, and shoestring teams were able to collect a few grand by taking the checkered flag, coasting at the back for a few laps, and then reporting a breakdown.
