Ken Pettit prays for justice! The #8 Bob Marley team wallows in their heartbroken state, paying the price for their Daytona 500 pole with three DNF's to begin the year. "I can't eat cornbread and play the harmonica at the same time" said Pettit, currently 42nd in points "but I can damn sure finish a race!" Pettit recently received his "Golden Coral" award for earning double-digit top-10's in 2024. Hopefully he can pull off the feat once more. John Tharp, Ben Geer and Scott Jackson share in his dismay, desperately in need of a top-30.

Four-straight top-11's for Zach Michael! A victory stolen away in the waning laps dropped him to fourth, holding a 75-point lead after Ryan Heuser's misfortune. Tony Pizzaro, Alex Crapser, Matthew Dominique, Bink Lucas, Dakota Wilkins and Jeremy Hebel hope to catch the Coca-Cola man at California. Michael starts 28th; mired inside the 45-car logjam. A smooth three-wide move could catapult him to the front. Look for Timothy McDonnell, John Tharp and Rick Jackson to spring towards the lead pack early. Dakota Wilkins wins the pole, hoping to replicate his Cinderella victory here two years ago.
