Josh Berry currently sits 99 points behind Carson Hocevar and remains just barely mathematically eligible for the Rookie of the Year award. He needs to keep Hocevar's lead over him to 120 points or fewer to not be eliminated, and he'll probably do that if he doesn't crash. Unfortunately, Berry leads the NASCAR Cup Series with 21 incidents to Hocevar's 12 and 9 crash DNFs to Hocevar's 2, which is almost entirely the reason why he is losing the RotY battle to begin with even though he has a faster car. Although Berry did qualify 12th and was actually the fastest Ford, the Stewart-Haas Racing cars have tended to have horrible intermediate setups with the Next Gen car while the Spire Motorsports cars have improved, so Hocevar will probably finish better while Berry, who wasn't even good there in the Xfinity Series, will likely fall backward.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
