RACER’s Kelly Crandall issued several bold pre-season predictions for the 2024 NASCAR season. With the early races now concluded, the accuracy of those forecasts varies widely.
Some predictions have already taken shape, while others missed the mark entirely. Crandall’s calls on driver performance and championship contenders have drawn mixed reactions from fans and analysts alike.
The mixed results underscore the unpredictability of motorsports, where even well-researched forecasts can shift rapidly. Crandall’s analysis will likely face further scrutiny as the season progresses and more data becomes available.
