The top five eligible teams Crew Chiefs will be awarded points at each of the four Chase events, 5 for the highest finisher, down to 1 for fifth highest. The Crew Chief earning the most points in the four Chase events will be the 2018 Outerwears Crew Chief of the Year Award winner.
The ARCA/CRA Super Series had its third 2018 Chase event on Saturday, September 15th at Toledo Speedway. After that event Wimmer Motorsports, Crew Chief for Josh Brock, has taken back the lead in the Outerwears Crew Chief of the Year Award standings after three events, with Brock coming home fifth at Toledo, the highest finisher of the six Chase Teams in that event. With their finish Wimmer Motorsports now has 13 points in the first three Chase events.
