Coming to the lap 46 mark of the Busch Bonanza race at the Daytona Road Course, Bink Lucas drafted past Mark Heron for fourth place and eclipsed 241 miles-per-hour on the tri-oval. He is the first closed-course driver in the Extravaganza or Bonanza Series to pull off the feat, ensuring the Lucas Racing engine program is at full speed in 2021. "It's an honor to earn the feat for such a prestigious organization. I can't wait for the bonus." Bink still hasn't announced his Extravaganza team for the 2021 season, and this performance could one-up his rookie-season ride.
The final 6 laps saw both leaders endure problems, leading for David Baldinger and the Bonanza regulars to steal the top spots by the end. Zach Michael lost power entering turn 1 with 6 laps to go, as Johnny Reed Foley flew past with a 4 second advantage. He knew he could not make in on gas, and came in under the final yellow with 3-to-go. Despite the dominance of the two, the Bonanza Series regulars pulled off the endurance feat today.
