Zakk Miller looks smooth! Another pole from the Bepis man, leaving many to wonder how he sets his car up for qualifying. "I stuff a Benjamin Franklin half-dollar under my shoe." said Miller. "The value of the coin dropped $4,000, and his face melted into a John Calhoun complexion." Teammate Markell Murphy attempted the Sacagawea full-dollar coin, hoping to run twice the speed! "The coin fell off and flew into the air duct. May it rest in pieces."

Race Recap
Markell Murphy set the all-time Extravaganza Series record of 209.090 miles-per-hour last week at Daytona! That performance will fossilize inside the record books, right next to R.L. Fazio's Bonanza victory in a Jeep, and Corpse Johnson's duel-radio Studebaker; one for listening to Elvis, and one for listening to more Elvis! Zakk Miller led the field through the first green flag run, with Ken Pettit and Ben Geer in his wake.
A lap-25 excursion into the barrier! Rod Weston devastates the outside barricade, dismantling his NAPA #56 Dodge into a heap of confusion! David Butterworth clipped the left-rear of Timothy McDonnell while battling for the 38th position, sending both cars up the racetrack and into Rod. Butterworth catapulted the outside wall into the path of Chauncey Redmond Jr. Miraculously, nobody was seriously hurt, with Rod suffering minor torso contusions. McDonnell continued on, as the remaining three crawled into the garage.
Ziggy Moonglow ended his 25-race streak without a DNF, suffering a blown piston early. The #02 Delta Sim Racing Chevrolet becomes the final team to vistit the garage area in 2025, tying only Rick Jackson with one DNF on the year. Up front, a miraculous pit stop by Ben Geer's Twinkie crew put him on top, leading his first race since the Coca-Cola 600 in May. Zakk Miller would take the spot back on lap-33.
42 drivers within six-seconds of the leader! Trae Larkin tails the field, with usual contenders Craig Lee and Timothy McDonnell struggling to surge through the calamity. Johnny Reed Foley takes the top-spot from Zakk Miller on lap 45, battling maniacally before the AC-Delco #3 pulled away from the pack. By lap 85, he pulled to a five-second advantage while Miller, Ryan Heuser and John Battista contested for second.
The spark plug failed to combust on Jeremy Hebel's Milwaukee Brewers Chevrolet. After replacing the plug, it still wouldn't start! A hard luck effort for Hebel, just one week removed from his fuel-mileage miracle at Daytona. Johnny Reed Foley would cruise to the halfway-bacon-bonus, pulling ahead by nine seconds before Molemar Diggs entered the second-place skirmish. The #41 was the only car duplicating Foley's speed, hoping for a caution flag to balance out the distance.
A horrifying crash with 100-to-go! Dave Miller decapitates the outside wall after contact with John Tharp, locking his brakes as the #14 meanders down the racetrack. William Perry clips him, catapulting into Ken Joynt while sliding into the outside backstretch barrier. Markell Murphy, Matthew Dominique and Jimmie Stevens dismantle the #70 Flex Fuel automobile, air-lifting Perry into a skyward turnstile. Eight violent flips before coming to a stop right-side-up on the backstretch apron, with Geno Sphere driver underneath the heap. All drivers including Geno and Timothy McDonnell failed to continue. William Perry suffered a broken leg, a fractured right elbow, three broken ribs and a concussion during the accident. He was placed on a stretcher; taken to the Saint Joseph Medical Center for further observation.
