Heat #1 Results Heat #2 Results Heat #3 Results
An enormous accident in Heat #2 took out Ryan Heuser, John Battista and Alan Nesfeder, handing opportunities to the fastest Bonanza regulars to make the Bepis 400 field! Adriano Fraporti and Scott Deutsch flew by the accident, putting themselves in position to race Ben Geer and both Solomon-Tark entries for the final transfer spots. They would both make it! Two Cinderella stories in a row, combined with Joe Polson's dominating run in the final heat, with Steven Lowe edging out David Corutney on the final lap to clinch the 45th and final entry!. The #24 Lowe Racing Toyota, #16 Ontario Motorsports Mustang, #18 Shake N' Bake Racing Dodge and Canadian Roadhouse Inc. #007 teams will race in the Bepis 400. With three drivers inside the top-35 in Extravaganza points failing to qualify, deals could be made to finance their Bonanza programs by putting a better driver in the car. Wizards of Speed is already making deals. We'll see where the tarot cards fly.
Last year Timothy McDonnell failed to make the Bepis 400 field, prompting a $4,800,000 buyout of Delta Sim Racing's #02. He finished a miraculous 8th in that race! Yesterday, Ziggy Moonglow won his first Extravagaza sanctioned event in the same exact car, winning Nashville Duel #3 in remarkable style! Sadly Ben Geer, Dalton Lucas and rookie sensation Molemar Diggs failed to finish inside the top-15 in their two allotted heats. They will not be in the Bepis 400 for their regular teams. Molemar currently stands 6th in points with Wizards of Speed in immaculate desperation! Dalton Lucas's hauling fortune is likely to outbid both of them for the first opportunity, with Ziggy Moonglow, Dave Daniels, Tony Gunk, Adriano Fraporti, Scott Deutsch, Stephen Lowe and Joe Polson possibly willing to compromise their starting spot. An estimated $3,000,000 to $6,000,000 could go to any team willing to take out their driver for one of Extravaganza's "Big 35". For now, Diggs, Geer and Lucas go home.
