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.

The final pit stop saw Ryan Heuser enter several laps after the lead group. He would come out in the fourth position, crevicing his way between Tony Pizzaro and Bink Lucas. During the cycle, Ken Pettit passed Dave Miller for what would be the race lead. Sadly for Dave, he would not get credited for the lap led. Pettit eventually would, hoping to gain as many points on Foley as possible.

Very few accidents mired the 400-mile event. An Adam Crapser, Matthew Dominique and Scott Jackson engine failure were the only casualties. Nobody hit the wall hard, and everybody finished the event completely unhurt. With near 200 mile-per-hour speeds entering turns 1 and 3, this is a remarkable accomplishment with 46 racecars.

Heuser was able to slide by Pizzaro with the fresher tires with 16 laps-to-go. Both would fly past Dave Miller the following circuit, with Pettit just over a second ahead. With 8 laps remaining, Heuser would catch him. A pass entering turn-3 saw the #138 in the lead! Pettit would keep the pressure for the remainder of the event, hogging the NOS Energy Chevrolet and narrowly missing two opportunities to make the pass. It was not to be. Ryan Heuser would end his 24-race winless streak with his fourth victory in the Brickyard 400!

The Rocket-Man is back! The favorite to win the Championship in 2024 has endured the lowest point of his Extravaganza Series career, 29th in the standings after Chicagoland. A second at New Hampshire, third at Pocono and a victory at Indianapolis has pushed him to 16th in the standings with only four races remaining in the regular season. Expect a hard-charge at Michigan, with Zach Michael, Rick Jackson, Craig Lee, Dave Miller, Matt Raboin, Timothy McDonnell, John Battista, Logan Sheets and Markell Murphy all blockading his road to the 2024 Chase. Congratulations to Heuser, crew chief Mustard Mahoney and the entire Quick-Silver Motorsports organization for an excellent victory!
