In December 2016, The Third Turn completed an audit to ensure that a full race listing (every known A-Feature and corresponding winner) existed and were linked in our database. As such, we believe every race in series history is now on our site. Full-field rundowns are available for 1983 to present day. The remaining seasons (1978-1982) have a number of complete rundowns but mostly just the winner/top-five at this time. Tons of data remains for The Third Turn to go through and add.


Statisticians Notes: In January 2018 WoO officials chose to count non-split-field Preliminary Features as official series races counting towards winner's totals, reversing a previous decision to only include the A-Feature race of an event (aka the last night of racing at a track for an event). as of May 17, 2018, all Preliminary races are included in our WoO statistics after the organization provided us with their official list of winners.

After the preliminary races are added, there are a number of discrepancies between the official WoO winners' list and our list. We are working to document those and determine where these discrepancies arose from. We will reach out to WoO once this audit is complete to try to come to an understanding.
