Someone outside the 6 playoff drivers will win at ISM.

Top 4 in non-playoff standings:
1st: Johnny Sauter (ADVANCED) 2nd: Noah Gragson (+18) 3rd: Grant Enfinger (-18) 4th: Justin Haley (ADVANCED)
3/4 look poised to go to Homestead. This is better than Xfinity, but worse than Cup. If Enfinger wins (which is probably the only way he can get in), it would likely eliminate Gragson. They can all 4 make it if Enfinger wins and Gragson outpoints Moffitt by at least 5.

I'm glad Kraus is getting a shot. He's not the best prospect, but he is certainly very talented. I'd like to see BMR go full-time in the trucks, and maybe Kraus could be their driver. However, he has to stay in K&N at least another year because of his age, but he could run part-time in Trucks in 2019.

We may see a couple extra entries. When Little's team announced their new sponsor last week I could have swore they said they would run the final three races.
And I was also under the impression NextGen would show up for the final three races as well. But they could have adjusted their plans.
No #30 On Point Motorsports for the 2nd consecutive week.

I do expect Little to be added later. You never know about NextGen, it seems like they've changed their plans a lot this year. And On Point is still a part-time team, so I'm not surprised they didn't make the trip out west. Hopefully, all 3 of those teams can go full-time next year.

Do they have a sponsor for Homestead yet? I remember that, earlier in the year, it was one of the few races remaining unsponsored.

I personally am completely fine with the final four we have. It makes up the four best drivers of the year.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Enfinger's been too consistent (plus he has a win) to be left out.
Top 4 in wins: Sauter, Moffitt, Haley & Busch Top 4 in top 5s: Sauter, Moffitt, Haley & Rhodes Top 4 in top 10s: Haley, Sauter, Gragson & Friesen Top 4 in poles: Gragson, Busch, Rhodes & D. Gilliland Top 4 in laps led: Sauter, Gragson, J.H. Nemechek & Rhodes Top 4 in average start (full-time drivers): Gragson, T. Gilliland, Sauter & Enfinger Top 4 in average finish (full-time drivers): Sauter, Haley, Gragson & Enfinger Top 4 in LLF: Sauter, Friesen, Enfinger & Haley Top 4 in total points: Sauter, Gragson, Enfinger & Haley
Here's how many times certain drivers show up on that list: Sauter: 8 Haley: 6 Gragson: 6 Enfinger: 4 Rhodes: 3 Moffitt: 2 Friesen: 2 T. Gilliland: 1

Moffitt has just run into more trouble, I think. He has top 5s in over half the races, but he has zero finishes between 6th and 10th. But he only has 13 lead lap finishes, which tells me that when he doesn't encounter trouble, he almost always finishes in the top 5.
He could still potentially finish as high as 3rd or 4th in full season points depending on how the last two races go, even though he's 6th right now.
