NASCAR Standings after Rockingham: A points leader who isn't allowed to win the championship?

The Cup Series might be off this weekend, but that doesn't mean that all of NASCAR took the weekend off.

The Truck Series and O'Reilly Series both raced on Friday and Saturday respectively at Rockingham, with Corey Heim taking the maximum 76 points from Friday's race before William Sawalich won his first national series race 24 hours later.

Those results have shaken the standings up somewhat, with Heim now leading the Truck Series by virtue of having won more races than Kaden Honeycutt, with whom he is tied on 190 points.

Unfortunately for the reigning champion, that...kind of doesn't matter, because he's a part-time driver, and thus ineligible for the Chase. Famously, to win a championship you must at least attempt to start every single race, which Heim is not doing.

Other Truck Series hopefuls must be breathing a sigh of relief about that, as the 23-year-old continues to show that he's simply too good for this level. His 190 points, unlike all the drivers below him, were gathered over the course of just three out of five races the series has run this year.

In the O'Reilly Series, Sawalich's win vaulted him up into Chase contention (11th on points, with the top 12 making the postseason) while Justin Allgaier extended his lead over Jesse Love to 126 points with a strong points day and third place finish, with Love finishing down in 27th.

The full standings for both series are below.
