2008 Road and Street course results

Here are your road and street course statistics for 2008, which include St Pete, The Glen, Mid Ohio, Edmonton, Infineon and Detroit. (Long Beach excluded because those were different cars with different engines, harkening to a series that has taken its place in the great beyond.) These numbers only include drivers who participated in all six events.

Would you believe:
• AJ Foyt IV led as many laps as Will Power?
• Ryan Briscoe led in 5 of the 6 races?
• EJ Viso led more laps than St Pete winner Graham Rahal?
• Justin Wilson led more laps than all four AGR drivers combined?
• Vitor Meira had an average finish of 15th despite leading more laps than all but 4 drivers?

It’s all true.
