Crutchfield was assured an entry into Pomona based on his points position previous to Pomona. I don't think was really a "driver change". Sharp could have just withdrew from the race and choose to let his car sit in the trailer. Crutchfield could have shown up with his own car or borrowed someone elses. Crutchfield apparently accepted the gracious offer of Mr. Sharp and saved some money by not hauling his own car across the country.
