My Predictions

In the 2008 Sprint Cup, Will Jeff Gordon be leading the standings in DNF's on April 30th?

Settled as No

At the time I am writing this, Jeff Gordon is leading the standings in DNF's with three. Four drivers are tied for second with two each. Will Jeff continue his dominance of this statistical category?

I would say that that means a tie should be answered "No"

Is there a link available to a website where the DNF stats can be seen?

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to filter it with highest number first, so Gordon drops to the bottom of the list with this view.

Thanks for the link. I was just wondering how this question is to be settled in the event that Gordon is tied for the lead with another driver in DNFs?

I've wondered about that too, since I didn't write the question completely clearly. My bad.

The way it's written... I would almost have to say that tied for the lead is sharing the lead, is leading the standings.

What do you think?

No, from my clarification on the original post, I said, "will Jeff continue his dominance of this statistical category?"

I was thinking the same. I think the answer should only settle "Yes" if Jeff has the most DNFs and is not tied with anyone.

question description says "dominance"- lookin up in dictionary meaning "commanding, controlling, or prevailing over all others"
This, as question creator restated in comments section-"tie should be answered No" because dominant means prevailing over all others, not tying or equal to.
