The Brickyard 400 has been dominated by the Quick-Silver Motorsports team over the recent years. This high-horsepower facility is perfect for their dominant engine program, eclipsing 9500 RPM's with pistons still in tact! Zakk Miller and Johnny Reed Foley reached the same number in qualifying, starting first and second for the 160-lap event.

Race Recap
The #30 Team Danger Zone Bepis Mustang ties Dave Miller for most poles this season with three. He would lead the first lap, with Tony Pizzaro getting a draft from Markell Murphy to take the top-spot away exiting turn-4. The Fenway Frank machine would lead through the first caution flag. Miller endured a devastating crash on the first lap a few years ago, possibly taking it easy early in the go.
Cristian Torres went for a spin on lap 13. He, Philip Parker and Rob Scarberry lost sight of each other, tagging the #26 and sending him in a whirlwind of the ages! Miraculously, all he hit was the inside wall and would continue unhindered. Despite his lack of damage, his car was tight all race long and finished 25th. Dan Johnston would lead the independents by finishing 13th.
A miraculous restart by Alex Crapser sent him past Johnny Reed Foley into the second position. By the end of the lap, he would pass Tony Pizzaro for the lead! A tandem by Johnny Reed Foley and Bink Lucas shot the #3 AC-Delco machine back to the front on lap-21. He would dominate the remainder of the stint.
Johnny Reed Foley and Alex Crapser would tag-team away from the pack. Foley entered the pits on lap-53, exiting with a three-second advantage over Crapser and a seven-second gap over third-place William Perry. A blown engine from Adam Crapser brought out the second yellow flag on lap-65. Foley would remain on top after pit stops.
The #4 Packers Chevrolet tied an Extravaganza Series record with their third-straight last place finish. They would drop from 15th to 25th in the standings after their miracle victory at Daytona, with teammate John Battista enduring much of the same misfortune. Up front, Ryan Heuser would take the lead from Johnny Reed Foley on lap-81, with the #3 barely able to nab the Halfway-Bacon-Bonus.
Ken Pettit would steal the top-spot away from Heuser on lap 105. The #138 came in to pit the following lap, handing himself a three-second advantage before a debris-caution accordioned the field. Foley's pit stop was not so fortunate, losing a lap to the field after stalling the engine on pit road. He would finish 38th on the day after another excellent run for the standings leader. Ken Pettit would finish the race only 37-points behind.
