The final heat includes 13 top-35 drivers attempting to earn a top-14 position and earn their way into the Bepis 400 feature next weekend. Ken Pettit, Tim McDonnell, Alex Crapser and Zakk Miller are the four big-name drivers in this event. They have all qualified well enough to coast to the finish line while the regular go-homers and Bonanza regulars attempt to steal their spot in the field.

Race Results

Zakk Miller starts on the pole alongside a miraculous front-row effort by Mark Heron. Miller would remain a contender for the victory for all 50 laps, while the #01 machine blew a tire two-thirds of the way in. Ken Pettit and Tim McDonnell would fly by both of them by the end of the first lap, with Pettit running the show before the first caution flag.

Contact between Dave Daniels and Ziggy Moonglow brought out the yellow on lap 4. The #02 slid up into Markell Murphy's #47, both hitting the outside wall hard while collecting Nigel Ramasawmy in the process. Neither driver would clinch the top-14. Murphy would charge towards the front after the restart only to stagnate at 27th place with worn-out tires. He will miss the show at Nashville despite being 17th in points. An enormous heartbreaker for the three-time Extravaganza Series winner.

Team Danger Zone became victim of the dreaded "Nashville Nightmare". His teammate Zakk Miller attempted to reap justice at the front after re-taking the lead away from Tim McDonnell. Tim, Zakk, Ken Pettit, Alex Crapser and Dakota Wilkins all took turns at the helm prior to the five-to-go mark. Wilkins astonishingly seemed to have the fastest racecar of the five, charging past Ken Pettit with three laps to go and sailing into the cinderella sunset.
