I've been a little quiet over the last couple of weeks because I've been heads down adding a new sport to StatSheet. I'm happy to announce today the introduction of NASCAR Stats! Please pass this along to any NASCAR fans you may know. I'm interested in feedback.

NASCAR Stats you may be asking? Who has ever heard of NASCAR Stats? And that's exactly the reason I did it. Not a lot has been done to date on the web with NASCAR stats and I wanted to get things kick-started. The state of NASCAR stat analysis is kind of like pre-Bill James baseball. The area is ripe of innovation and interesting analysis that hasn't been done before. It took the better part of a month, but now I think I have a good starting point.

Below is a brief list of some of the more interesting features I've developed. I crammed about a year's worth of work into 1 month, so it is far from complete, but it will give you the general idea. If you have any suggestions or requests, please let me know!

• Compare Races, Drivers, Cars, Owners, or even Manufacturers
• Drill down a Driver's Race Log, Stats, Trends, and Standings
• Get Season Stats, Race Stats, Driver Stats, Car Stats, Owner Stats, and Manufacturer Stats
• See current or historical Driver Standings and watch them in motion
• Drill down on races to find stats, a cool caution chart, and lap leader chart

Today is a milestone at StatSheet. Back on Dec 12th, I mentioned how StatSheet achieved over 500,000 page views for a 30 day period. Then on January 28th, I reported that StatSheet hit 750,000 page views for 30 days. Now, I'm happy to report getting over 1 million page views in 30 days! This is pretty significant considering that last year at this time my peak traffic was 315,000 page views (4 months after launch).  StatSheet.com is 16 months old now and the traffic has tripled. If I can keep tripling every year, I'll be pretty happy.

CBS Sports has finally started copying StatSheet features. They have a Player Matchup feature (link) that looks eerily similar to the StatSheet Player Comparison. But of course their version is considerably weaker. Heck, you can't even get a link to a particular comparison. Also, a lot fewer stats and no charts. Oh, and no historical player comparisons. I guess it is a start ;-)

A few months ago I completed the Game High Stats section. With it you can find which teams and players have had the best games for any stat for any of the past 13 seasons or combination of seasons. Pretty cool stuff, but I got to thinking: why not also show the Game Low leaders as well?

Now you can. You can look up things like:

• Which teams made the fewest field goals in a game this year (see here)
• Which ACC teams have scored the fewest points in the first half this season (see here)
  
• What is the fewest points UNC has scored in a game since 1996 (see here)

This is the kind of stuff you can't find anywhere else!
