Crum shouldn’t be eligible as a part time driver. It’s good to see two of the four full time drivers in the Top 10 overall. Nascar’s diversity program seems to have run it’s course with Hailie Deegan. She clearly doesn’t belong at this level of competition.
.
The fact that SVG and Love will make the Playoffs will eliminate Cram from contention for ROTY. The ROTY system is the same as the championship format, so when a rookie makes the Playoffs, any drivers that don’t are then mathematically eliminated.
