Zach Michael is in the groove! Three victories at Atlanta, Watkins Glen and Charlotte is his best since 2019, capitalizing on an impeccable sixth-straight Chase birth. The #20 Coca-Cola team started the year with five-straight top-11's, catapulting to a near full-race lead on the rest of field. By Kansas, they had amassed 11 top-20's in 12 events. The summer stretch was rough; three accidents at Charlotte, Gateway and Pocono dropped them to fourth in the standings, conveniently nestled between a series of top-10 finishes. A third at Michigan followed an impressive second-place run in the Brickyard 400, earning momentum for a big victory at The Glen! By the Chase, they were back to third in the standings. A fifth-place in the Eddie Money Classic put them atop the heap! A crash at Talladega dropped them to 4th, only to win the following week in the Mello Yello 500, back in contention. Zach Michael enters Homestead only 3-points behind Johnny Reed Foley, starting 27th for the Pennzoil 400 finale!
