Qualifying Results
Zakk Miller has the opportunity to win $23,000,000 if he can sweep the All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600! He won the event two years ago and hopes to dominate again, looking to gap the 169 points from Championship leader Ken Pettit. Miller will start deep in the field, qualifying 40th with the #8 on the outside second-row. Johnny Reed Foley comes in third in points, earning his first pole of the season at 27.227 seconds. Ryan Heuser will start on his outside as the heavy favorite despite his winless effort so far in 2024. Mark Heron looks to play spoiler with his 7th-place effort on the grid. If he fails to make the top-35 in points by Gateway, Heron has promised to deviate from his Extravaganza effort to focus on the Bonanza Series Championship. Finishing the race is the goal for all. Drivers Cristian Torres and Philip Parker have showed strong runs in the past as well, hoping to earn their first career victories. Logan Sheets and Adam Crapser hope to do the same. 45-cars will attempt immaculate glory at the second Crown Jewel event of 2024!
Tony Pizzaro's Fenway Frank #12 led the points after 13 races in 2022 and 2023. This year, his teammate Ken Pettit parallels the same domination while Pizzaro struggles mightily, mired 28th in points with seven finishes of 27th or worse. The reversal of fortunes has been unprecedented. Race-2-Win Motorsports as a whole has been a full-fledged "Rastaman" show before Rick Jacksons' current top-5 streak. Here are their statistics after the Brickyard 400 in 2023, 27 races ago:
Race-2-Win Motorsports (Last 27 races)
Ken Pettit and the "Rasta-Man" Chevrolet led 1,282 laps between his victories in Atlanta in 2019 and Darlington in 2023. Since then he's won two more, monopolizing the team in wins and leading the standings by 142 points while Jackson and Pizzaro struggle. Both drivers have won the Coca-Cola 600 once in the last five seasons, hoping to revitalize their performance with a Crown Jewel banger! Look for all three cars to run strong.
