Coca-Cola 600 winner Ziggy Moonglow enjoys all sporting action. "We bought a Nashville Sounds ticket on Amazon to celebrate our win last week. When it arrived, it was a photograph of the ticket! Our jack-man Biff used scissors to crop it out, but his fingers got jammed. We used a pruner to yank it off. Fortunately, his appendages are still in tact." Compared to Trae Larkin's jar accident last May, this is just par for the course at Delta Sim Racing.

Race Recap

Zach Michael earns his first pole since the 2024 Russ Charneski 500! A Coca-Cola sweep, with Moonglow sporting the vintage colors during last week's victory. Points leader Tony Pizzaro took the helm on lap 2. Craig Lee followed suit, with Chauncey Redmond Jr. leading his first laps since his Talladega victory in April. Wizards of Speed teammate Molemar Diggs never made it to the green flag, finishing dead-last with Redmond enduring battery issues throughout the day.

Redmond, Alex Crapser and Zakk Miller roared through the field as points leaders Michael and Pizzaro fell to mid-pack. Each took their turn at the helm, signifying their strength early as usual Speedway masters Donald Stewart and Dave Miller struggle to find prowess outside the top-30. Tony Gunk's usual "Kelpo Cam" failed to make the field, leaving Mike Carroll's "Spam Cam" to show Miller waddle violently through the corners as they race for 41st.

Bink Lucas, Zakk Miller and Dakota Wilkins dominated the ensuing 20-lap stint. All three search for their first victory of 2025, combining for seven last year with Dakota taking home the Bepis 400 trophy! Previous Nashville winners John Tharp and Rick Jackson stalked the front-runners early, hoping to capitalize on a veteran-style victory after enduring three first-time winners since the Rebel 400.

William Perry takes the lead! His motor ignites four laps later, failing to re-capitalize his fortune while dropping outside the top-20 in points. John Battista leads his first laps since Talladega in a surprisingly quiet year. Only one top-5 after a second-best fifteen in 2024, struggling with the handling while enduring three DNF's in the last five events. He, Rick Jackson, Zakk Miller and Bink Lucas led the field through green flag stops.

Battista's Wendy's #39 Chevrolet came out on top! He, Ryan Heuser, Bink Lucas and Zakk Miller scattered the top-4 positions, with Heuser and Lucas dominating the remaining run. Battista shuffled back to fourth, with Markell Murphy, Steven Spears and Jimmie Stevens crawling into the top-10 running similar lap times to the leaders. Towards the back, Kevin Corbat blew an engine, with Steve Inkman the first to drop a lap on speed.

Points leader Tony Pizzaro goes a lap down! He and teammate Ken Pettit failed to find grip, dropping the "Fenway Frank" machine to 39th and the third car to drop to the leaders. Zach Michael would finish only 118 points back. Michael Henson blows an engine while running mid-pack, dropping to 30th in the standings. Up front, Ryan Heuser pulled to a four-second gap out of the pits, cruising to the Halfway Bacon Bonus while tying Pizzaro for his tenth race led in 2025.

Markell Murphy takes the lead on lap 172! He, John Battista, Dave Miller, Bink Lucas, Jimmie Stevens, Dalton Lucas and Zakk Miller tag-teamed to the front with slightly fresher tires and cycloned towards the #47. Unfortunately, contact between Dalton and Timothy McDonnell sent the #88 Little Caesar's Chevrolet into the turn-3 wall, bringing out the first yellow with 105-to-go and keeping Markell up front.

Danger Zone teammates Markell Murphy and Zakk Miller battle for supremacy! The Bepis #30 comes out on top, holding off the field before a miracle-charge by Jimmie Stevens with 80 laps-to-go. Stevens hasn't earned a top-5 finish at a speedway since Charlotte in 2023, leaving teammate Bink Lucas to capitalize on the high-horsepower. His 2020 victory in the Food City 500 at Bristol remains his last. Hopefully fortunes will change. He and Zakk Miller dominated the remaining stint, coming out 1-2 after the final fuel stops. 

Bink Lucas enters the fray! With twenty laps left, he and teammate Stevens passed the Bepis #30, handing Lifesaver Racing their first 1-2 sighting in ages. Zakk Miller re-passes them both, giving Dave Miller and Timothy McDonnell's fresher tires a chance at victory. Both passed the Delta Sim teammates Ziggy Moonglow and Trae Larkin to enter the top-5, only two seconds behind Zakk Miller. Up front, Bink Lucas passes Zakk, with Dave Miller flying by Stevens for third. He steal second from Zakk only to find Bink several car-lengths ahead as the white flag waved. The #5 Lifesavers Mustang held off the fray en route to their fourth victory in as many years, with Bink earning his fifth career Extravaganza Series win in the Bepis 400!

Another immaculate win for Bink Lucas! 2021 was Talladega. 2022, Las Vegas. 2023, Phoenix. 2024, Texas. The streak continues at Nashville! He joins Ryan Heuser, Zach Michael and Alex Crapser as the only drivers to win a race every year since 2021. Bink jumps to 12th in points , only 22 behind Adam Crapser in hopes of his first career chase birth. Congratulations to Bink, crew chief Doug Wilcox and the entire Lifesaver Racing organization for an excellent victory!
