There are four food groups in Extravaganza: sugar, grease, liquid and non-liquid. All are sold at the concessions, solidifying Richmond's reputation as "cuisine master" of the series, and a pinnacle reason we go there twice a year. "We used to sneak steak sauce into our shirts." said Elroy Hill, referring to the inferior cookery of years past. "Now the rib-eyes are tender, juicy, and fit for a king like me!" The 350-pound Elroy proceeded to chug a 2-liter of Canada Dry, staining his Steve Inkman hoodie into a gator-stained green.

Race Recap

Jeremy Hebel wins the Beach Boys "I Get Around" award for "getting around" Richmond faster than the rest, solidifying his status as an immaculate short track master. His Milwaukee Brewers Chevrolet pulled away from the field, leaving only Molemar Diggs in his wake as Alex Crapser and John Battista trickled towards the lead-duo during the later run. From the back, Richmond dominator Ryan Heuser jumps from dead-last to the 26th spot by lap-30.

Nobody loves a Wendy's Baconator more than John Battista! Crew chief Lew Money taped the signature burger into his dashboard, sniffing the "fumes of motivation" from the succulent patty, cheese and bacon combination. The strategy worked! Battista caught Hebel by the end of the fuel run, using the burger like a smoked ham in front of a treadmill. Matt Raboin sacrificed the sixth spot, coming in for tires first, beating everyone out of the pits while maintaining his advantage for the remaining run. 

A Mike Carroll engine failure drops him to 38th in points, having to qualify for next week's race at Gateway. Up front, Matt Raboin nabs the Halfway Bacon Bonus! A lap-224 spin by Cristian Torres brings out the first caution. Unfortunately, he would play a major role in the next. The #26 GameStop Toyota slaps the wall off of turn-2, spinning out Chauncey Redmond Jr., Bink Lucas and Craig Lee towards the infield wall. Torres stays high, getting careened by points leader Tony Pizzaro into a series of barrel-rolls. The "IMPACTO" man came out unscathed, with Pizzaro losing 109 points to Johnny Reed Foley after his worst finish of the year. Redmond, Lucas and Lee came out relatively unscathed, with Torres waving his bent steering wheel to the crowd!

Jeremy Hebel re-takes the lead! A masterful pit stop, with Alex Crapser passing Matt Raboin for second place during the abbreviated green-flag stint. Alan Nesfeder goes for a wild-ride towards the back, colliding roof-first with Trae Larkin after a couple of flips. Both drivers failed to continue. Up front, Hebel maintains his advantage, holding off the remaining 15-cars on the lead lap.

Jeremy Hebel, Alex Crapser, Matt Raboin, Steve Inkman, Molemar Diggs, Johnny Reed Foley, Ryan Heuser, Zakk Miller, John Battista, Craig Lee, Ken Pettit, Adam Crapser, Donald Stewart, Chauncey Redmond Jr. and Dalton Lucas battle for ultimate supremacy for the Reese's Cup 400 crown! A giant Reese's Cup is thrown atop the car, ready to be savored by the winners' crew. Up front, Alex Crapser takes the lead with 140 to go, passing his former crew chief in a Wisconsin power slide!

A miraculous 5.3-second advantage on he field with 60-to-go! Chauncey Redmond Jr.'s pit-wall accident brings out the yellow during the fuel cycle, with Crapser, Zakk Miller, Jeremy Hebel and Ryan Heuser coming out ahead of the pace car. Donald Stewart and Dave Miller got their laps back by staying out, with Crapser's #04 Pennzoil Chevrolet leading the field to green once more. He would restart mid-pack behind the pitters, with Ken Pettit making a desperate move to stay on the lead lap. He and Michael Henson smacked the outside wall, with leader Crapser splitting the middle as Adam Crapser and Zach Michael pass underneath. Henson blew a tire in front of Dave Miller and Dakota Wilkins to bring out the caution. Matt Raboin, Steve Inkman, Johnny Reed Foley, John Battista, Molemar Diggs, along with Michael and Adam were back on the lead lap for the remaining 50-lap shootout!

A Steven Spears spin brings out the yellow again! The ensuing restart saw Tony Gunk and John Tharp mortify the inside wall-opening entering trurn-3, sliding into John Battista and ending his night in a shower of sparks. The #39 Wendy's Chevrolet drops to 15th in the standings, ending his streak of top-10 finishes at three. John Tharp falls to 28th, still searching for his first top-5 of 2025. Up front, Alex Crapser readies a 35-lap dash to the checkered.

Zakk Miller takes the lead away with 28-to-go! Ryan Heuser followed suit, hoping to recapture his usual Richmond glory and a slice of the Reese's Cup pie! Miller held off an inside charge from the #138 while navigating lapped traffic, with Alex Crapser, Jeremy Hebel, Steve Inkman, Craig Lee and Adam Crapser still within striking distance. Heuser would fail to make another charge. Zakk Miller crosses the finish line for his first career victory at Richmond, finally sweeping the "Big-Three" short tracks in his Extravaganza Series career!

Nobody's led more races than Zakk Miller since Martinsville in April. A miraculous stretch in qualifying, gridding 13th or better in every race but Talladega, and finally reaping the rewards by clinching their first victory of 2025! An unprecedented effort at a track that's been unfriendly to the "Bepis Man" in the past. Miller jumps to 14th in the standings, ready for another rout at Gateway and Sonoma. Congratulations to Zakk, crew chief Carl Kirpatrick and the entire Team Danger Zone crew for an excellent victory!
