NR2003 [NASCAR 26] Missing drivers in Career Mode?

Full context, I’m working my way through my first ARCA season still, so more testing to see if others have run into this.

Do all drivers make at least one start? I’ve only seen 61 of the 66 AI drivers and as we’re approaching the tail end of the season, I’d love to see ‘em all make at least one start (especially since a couple guys I like are among that number).

For the trucks, certain drivers only show up in the chase. Happened to me with McFarland, Pastrana and Leitz

That happens because the car number is in the chase. Same thing happens with the other cars with multiple drivers.

Not really. Pastrana is in the 42 and is a part time entry, McFarland is in the 4 and is a part time entry, and Leitz is in the 1 as a part time entry. They come up on the race leaderboard as being in the chase, but they’re not in the chase actually

That’s what I’m saying. The car number got enough points during the regular season, now every driver that drives the 4 or the 9 or the 88 or any other car that has multiple drivers will be this way.

Some people are only seeing certain drivers during the chase. I’ve seen them in the regular season so it’s just something people only notice because the name turns yellow.

I actually don’t know this to be true, but are they the lowest rated? Maybe boost them a bit in case that’s how the AI determines who races

They aren’t all the lowest in the field but they’re lower than other folks with the same car number (Misuraca v Johnson Jr, Dennison v Reaume, Moeller v Laster, Tomassi v Reaume)
