With Ryan Heuser winning four out of five, drivers have put a bounty on the NOS Energy man. Any driver who couldn't beat him put $50 inside a magic "8" ball. The winner will smash the ball on live television, using a weapon of their choice. "My grandmother gave me a hatchet" said SPAMmaster Mike Carroll. "She told me to use it on the toaster if the bread didn't pop back up. It could work for this too." Eight drivers will start ahead of him for the Jiffy Pop 400.

Race Recap

Ziggy Moonglow follows his first career pole with a bang! The #02 Delta Sim Racing Chevrolet is up front the inaugural 15 lap run; the only driver to lead all three races in 2025. An unlikely triumph for the Coca-Cola man; leading only two events in the second-half of 2025. He'd relinquish the top-spot to Adam Crapser, hoping to recover from a sub-par 2026 kickoff and earn the #4 Packers Chevrolet it's first top-25.

The #138 NOS Energy Chevrolet takes the point! He'd be the second driver to lead all three races, with only Alex Crapser and Johnny Reed Foley able to maintain his pace during the long run. A short-pit strategy by the #3 AC Delco Chevrolet prompted Ziggy Moonglow to follow suit. They would come out atop the heap with a four-second advantage, with Heuser and Zach Michael slowly closing in.

A morbid blow! The harmonic balancer falls off the crankshaft, sending the second-place man from euphoria to extreme despair. Ziggy Moonglow will finish 44th, ahead of a Dalton Lucas camshaft explosion. Kevin Corbat would also suffer engine woes, failing to capitalize after making the field for a third-straight race. Ziggy would drop from fourth to sixteenth in the standings. Dalton would fall to 36th, with Kevin dead-last of the three-start teams.

Johnny Reed Foley and Ryan Heuser dominate the mid-portion of the event! They swapped the lead nine different times, lapping up to the 30th-place car by lap-200. Towards the rear, Trae Larkin suffers a blown crankshaft! Delta Sim Racing went from both cars gridding on the top-two rows to a double-DNF, with Larkin dropping from 22nd to a 42nd-place finish. Up front, Alex Crapser would catch the #138 and #3.

Dakota Wilkins short-pits! He'll jump from the sixth position to second, with Zakk Miller also entering early in the third spot. Both drivers earned an eight-second advantage, while lapping the field through the fifteenth position. By lap-250, John Battista, Zach Michael, Alex Crapser, Ryan Heuser, Jimmie Stevens, Dave Miller, Markell Murphy, Tony Pizzaro, Donald Stewart, Adam Crapser, Bink Lucas, Rick Jackson and Steven Spears remained in contention for the victory.

The caution-free affair comes to an end! Dave Miller and Michael Henson make contact exiting turn-4, collecting an unsuspecting Jimmie Stevens. Both cars would continue with minor damage, with the #2 AMPIO Mustang losing his sacred lap. Zakk Miller would lead the field to green before another disaster struck. Chauncey Redmond Jr. clips Rick Jackson off of turn-2, sending Mike Carroll into a backstretch tailspin. The smokescreen created a long-jam of the Gods, with Adam Crapser, Molemar Diggs, Geno Sphere, Alan Nesfeder, Dan Johnston, Craig Lee, Dave Miller, Michael Henson, Johnny Reed Foley , Jeremy Hebel, Mark Heron, Ken Pettit and Ken Joynt incapable of eluding the smog.

Ken Joynt bookends the accident with two flips across the apron transition, with only six of the eighteen cars involved heading to the garag
