2025 Coca-Cola 600 @ Charlotte: Ziggy Moonglow Upset of the Century!

The Coca-Cola 600 is here! Bottle caps fly into the air like confetti, decorating the grandstands with high-density polyethylene. "Pepsi uses low-density polyethylene" said Coke public relations man Solomon Cosgrove. "Combined with their low-density recipe, they are a complete joke! When Extravaganza races a 600-inch event, they can sponsor that." The acrimony between the soda-giants continue, with Ryan Heuser suffering withdrawals from his favorite beverage since 2020. "I sneak a can inside the roll cage" said crew chief Mustard Mahoney.

Race Recap

NASCAR independent Sappy Sackson beat out the competition during the first World-600 in 1964. That year it was 99 degrees, as the factory teams could not handle the heat. He was later vanquished of his earnings after using an over-sized radiator, along with a secret airflow compartment to keep the engine cool. What strategy will the underlings use to defeat the competition this year? Some say it is Coca-Cola. Ziggy Moonglow and Trae Larkin put Coke bottles inside their roll-cages, just as Ryan Heuser enjoys his Pepsi cans. "Solomon told us to do it. It's merely a marketing stunt, but I'll do anything for the man!"

Logan Sheets wins his first career pole in 128 attempts! He'll be on a mission for victory, earning 18 top-5's without a win since his Daytona 500 debut in 2021. The Quaker-State #58 held off the field for eight laps before Rick Jackson took the helm, leading the field after a three-wide move from the Gods! Zakk Miller made a similar maneuver on lap 29, towing the field through the first green-flag stop. Craig Lee, Ryan Heuser, Tony Pizzaro and Logan Sheets were your top-5 runners through the 60th lap. 

Ken Pettit and Mike Carroll tangle! A turn-1 crash puts Marley and SPAM into the fence, each trying to stay inside the top-35 in points. Neither driver remained competitive, with Carroll dropping to 35th in the standings and Pettit and unprecedented 37th after a league-leading 6th DNF. Steven Spears went for a spin off the back of NOS-man Ryan Heuser, clipping the inside backstretch wall with the rear. Miraculously, he would continue seemingly unhindered. All-Star Heat winner Jeremy Hebel got tapped by NOS-man Craig Lee, slamming the outside wall while breaking the TV panel and spoiler apart. He'd limp to 28th place.

Points leader Tony Pizzaro stole the top-spot from Zakk Miller after green flag stops, leading the field through lap 91. Ben Geer took the position away, relinquishing again to Pizzaro before Johnny Reed Foley took the helm on lap 105. Both drivers earned their league-leading tenth race led in 2025! They would remain a 1-2 punch through the halfway-point, with only Kansas winner William Perry running anywhere near the lead-duo. 23 cars were lapped during the stint, including pole-sitter Logan Sheets, Craig Lee, John Tharp, Matthew Dominique, Bink Lucas, Molemar Diggs, Chauncey Redmond Jr., Rick Jackson and Timothy McDonnell. 

A horrible crash on lap-220! Rob Scarberry and Zakk Miller fight maniacally to stay on the lead lap, sending the Bepis-man hard into the outside wall. Leader Johnny Reed Foley and John Battista tangle trying to avoid the spinning car, with Foley pulverizing Miller's quarter-panel, sliding passenger-side first into the outside wall before John Tharp creamed his clock. In fact, a Rolex watch was spotted amongst the debris after the impact! Matthew Dominique failed to avoid the aftermath, leaving all four cars out of the race. Miraculously, nobody was seriously injured. Foley dropped from third to fourth in the points standings. Miller fell to 27th after a fourth DNF, with Tharp dropping outside the top-20.

23-cars remain on the lead lap! A Timothy McDonnell crash knocks out CFM Motorsports, finishing 41st and 42nd in a career-worst effort for the team. Up front, Tony Pizzaro's "Fenway Frank" machine held the top-spot through lap 238 before WIlliam Perry made his move. Miracle-man David Butterworth took the lead 40 laps later, signifying his competitive style after a horrid start to the season. Kansas was his first top-33 finish, coming in 42nd in points with more hope than a lobster inside a boiling pot. Butterworth led the field through lap 287 before Pizzaro re-took the advantage. Through 450 miles, the #12 remained your leader.

A three-wide frontstretch cavalcade morphs into enernal damnation! Matt Raboin, Donald Stewart and Adam Crapser devastate the outside wall after a battle for the sixth position, careening into Zach Michael and Ryan Heuser while the remainder of he field miraculously sneaked by. Heuser failed to lead a lap for only the fourth time in 2025. Michael drops 131 points to Pizzaro in the standings, handing the "Fenway Frank" machine a full-race advantage. Raboin and Crapser drop outside the top-11 in points, with Stewart finishing 37th or worse for the third time in four events. Raboin suffered "Whiplash" after a front-end impact to the edge of the dogleg wall. Besides a blooded ear canal, he came out okay.

Tony Gunk hoped to pull off a millenium miracle! The "Kelpo Cam" man maintained his pace, staying on the lead lap during the long green flag runs and navagating past the accidents up front. Gunk led his third career lap with 80-to-go, hoping to improve on his career best of 14th during the 2024 Eddie Money Classic. He and Michael Henson swapped the top-spot before a Ryan Heuser spin brought out the caution. He and Molemar Diggs tagged, sending Ryan through the frontstretch infield grass and into Rick Jackson. Heuser then careened into the the path of Scott Jackson, sending both cars into the air after miraculous contact, with Doug Spark clipping the #38 through the smoke. Only anguish could define the night, running a 500-mile distance only to watch the finish from a dinner chair.

Tony Gunk led the field through lap 342! A miracle three-wide pass through lapped traffic sent Pizzaro back to the helm, only for Gunk to steal it back one lap later. An engine failure sent Steven Spears for a spin in traffic, with Jimmie Stevens, Mike Carroll and Ken Pettit spinning into the oil and destroying their racecars. Trae Larkin lost a clutch during he yellow flag, with teammate Ziggy Moonglow still on the lead lap and coming out with four fresh tires. Ben Geer and Alex Crapser also came in, only taking two as the remaining thirteen contenders stayed on the track for the 50-lap shootout. Tony Gunk led the field to green, holding his own for five circuits before Tony Pizzaro and Alan Nesfeder flew by. Nesfeder, Pizzaro and Gunk held their ground through the 30-to-go mark before Ziggy Moonglow showed his hand. He was faster than anyobody expected, using his 13-lap tire advantage to fly by Craig Lee, Dakota Wilkins and the greats of Extravaganza. He passed Nesfeder on lap 381. He passed Pizzaro just two circuits later, completely uncontested as he pulled away from the field with ease!

A 4.5-second advantage for Ziggy Moonglow as he crosses the line for the penultimate lap! The four-tire stop proved to be a move of the ages, hoping to match their performance at Kansas by earning a second-straight top-5 finish. The #02 Coca-Cola Chevrolet dominated the final stretch and crosses the line first to earn Delta Sim Racing and Ziggy Moonglow's first career Extravaganza Series win! Just like Adam Crapser the year before, it came on the longest race of the year, proving endurance belongs to the new! Congratulations to Moonglow, crew chief Phil Lime and the entire Delta Sim Racing organization for their first career victory! Also congratulations to their future, ensuring their prolonged Extravaganza status by winning their sponsors' home race. Pepsi will never hear the end.
