LEARN MORE: About Bing
Did you follow Bing’s advice throughout the 2015 Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup? If so, you reaped the rewards from Bing Predicts’ algorithm that had several highlights as it predicted the initial 16-driver Chase field, then predicted the ensuing eliminations.
Some of the highlights:
• Two weeks prior to the Chase field being set, Bing correctly predicted all 16 drivers who qualified for the postseason.
• When the Chase Grid Battle Powered by Bing launched, Bing predicted Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch to finish the year ranked 1-2 after the finale in Miami. At the time, it was not a certainty Busch would even qualify for the postseason. And in a postseason that had plenty of twists and turns, Harvick and Busch were the last two standing at Miami with Busch winning his first series championship.
• Bing’s initial Championship 4 field all advanced into the Final 8, and it correctly predicted three of four drivers in the Championship 4, missing out only with its prediction of Matt Kenseth .
• Count this among the near-misses: In an almost perfect scenario, Bing predicted Dale Earnhardt Jr. would struggle during the races at Charlotte and Kansas but thrive at Talladega and snag the win in the Contender Round. All that played out according to plan until Talladega, where Junior led for 61 laps but was unable to secure a first-place finish after the eventful final laps.
