Christopher Jake Crum (born September 25, 1991) [1] is an American stock car racing driver.

Racing career

Through 2006, Crum captured multiple National Championships through the WKA, IKF, and INEX organizations. In 2007, Crum became the youngest driver to win a UARA-Stars Late Model Touring Series event at the age of 15. In 2008, Crum would win the UARA-Stars Championship driving for his family-owned operation.

Economic pressures forced Crum to run a partial schedule in 2009. The mixed schedule included Crum's ARCA Racing Series debut, which resulted in a 6th-place finish at Mansfield Motorsports Park. Crum also debuted in the Pro All Stars Series South division with a 2nd-place finish at Newport Speedway.

On October 4, 2009, Crum became the youngest winner in the history of the annual Bailey's 300 held at Martinsville Speedway. The victory served as a crowning achievement for Crum who turned 18 just nine days prior to the event. Competing against some of the most well-funded Late Model Stock Car operations in the country, Crum overcame the odds by pulling off an impressive victory by dominating the second half of the event. There were 83 cars that took to the track in an attempt to make the 43 car field. [2]

NASCAR K&N Pro Series East

Crum entered two NASCAR K&N Pro Series East events in 2010. The season opener at Greenville-Pickens Speedway ended early for Crum due to a broken fuel line suffered on a lap 49 restart while Crum was running in the 7th position. During the Martinsville event, Crum led 18 laps before a late-race caution prior to rain halted the event. [3]

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

Crum made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut at the Bristol Motor Speedway on August 18, 2010 during the O'Reilly 200. [4] Crum drove the #21 SS-Green Light Racing entry and was featured as a SPEED Spotlight driver. Crum qualified 13th for the event and was running as high as 7th when contact with his teammate sent him to the pits for repair. After working on the truck, Crum was making his way back through the field when the fuel pump gave out, ending his night.

In 2012, Crum drove the JJC Racing No. 0 Dodge with sponsorship from Bandit Chippers in the series' season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway. [5]

In the 2014 North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Crum and Ryan Ellis were involved in an incident, and later in the race, Crum turned Ellis into the wall. On May 22, NASCAR temporarily downgraded Crum's license, limiting him to driving at tracks no longer than 1.25 miles (2.01 km), while still being allowed to race on road courses. [6] His license was restored June 20.

Personal life

Crum is married. [7]

In May 2023, Crum was arraigned and charged with simple assault after an incident at Hickory Motor Speedway involving Robert Huffman. Crum allegedly attacked Huffman from behind on the spotter's stand and kicked him while he was down following an on-track incident between Huffman's son Landon and Crum's wife. Crum immediately posted bail and was released. NASCAR responded by suspending Crum from all sanctioned events in the remainder of 2023 and deeming him ineligible to apply for a competition license until 2024, as Crum was also serving as a crew member at a NASCAR event without a license to do so.
