Ryan Heuser enters the Homestead arena 31 points ahead of Ken Pettit for the Championship crown, his fourth if he can pull off the feat. He is also 7 laps led ahead of John Battista for the laps led title, and tied for Timothy McDonnell for the series lead in top-10's with 20. Pettit has much less to lose, coming from behind his entire career to pull off continuous "Bob Marley" miracles. This could be another example of the #8 Race-2-Win Chevrolet's rasta-magic.

Race Recap

2

The #138 NOS Energy team grids eight spots behind Pettit in 15th spot with a Team Danger Zone 1-2-3 to cap off the qualifying season. It was heartbreak for Zach Michael, starting one spot behind Zakk Miller on the outside front row. He would go the entire season without a pole despite a myriad of top-5 starts, blackballed from the 2024 Bud Shootout along with Timothy McDonnell, Jimmie Stevens, Logan Sheets, Markell Murphy and Adam Crapser.

3

The race began with Miller off to an early advantage. At the back, Timothy McDonnell got decimated and desecrated after a turn-2 spin sent him into the backstretch infield. He, Steven Inkman, Jonathan Skrabacz and Logan Sheets all pitted for damage after the accident. Surprisingly, no caution flag was displayed.

4

A second crash caused by a Dalton Lucas engine failure sent him into the frontstretch infield after contact with John Battista. It was his greatest run of the year, inside the top-10 for the entire stint before the accident. By this point, Zakk Miller, Dakota Wilkins, Rick Jackson, Tony Pizzaro and John Tharp had all taken their turns at the helm.

5

A morbid pit stop by the Ken Pettit crew sent him from 6th to 32nd, with Heuser dropping from 20th to 30th position. William Perry clipped the inside sand-barrels attempting to steamroll into the pits, ending his night as our second casualty. Up front it was Dave Miller, Donald Stewart, Alan Nesfeder and Johnny Reed Foley taking turns in the lead during the second green flag run.

6

A halt to the caution-free frenzy occurred on lap 179 after contact between Steve Inkman and Matthew Dominique. The #57 went for a half-flip across the start-finish line, sliding upside-down for the entire length of the frontstretch. Surprisingly, Inkman would truck onward to a 28th place finish despite the devastation.

7

The green flag waved with a second chance at life for the Championship contenders. Both Heuser and Pettit charged maniacally through the field, securing the 11th and 13th place spots with 60 laps to go. Up front, Tony Pizzaro, Johnny Reed Foley, Rick Jackson and Donald Stewart fought hard for the ultimate position.

8

Both Heuser and Pettit worked their way inside the top-10, favoring Heuser with less positions ahead of him for Pettit to gain. The 31-point advantage was mute as long as the #138 placed inside the top-5, which would happen by the 40-to-go mark. Suddenly, he was battling for the win with with his two Quick-Silver teammates Dave Miller and Craig Lee, along with Nesfeder, Stewart, Pizzaro, Jackson and Foley.

9

Ken Pettit was the first of the Championship-duo to enter the pits, hoping to nab at his one-second deficit to Heuser. The #138 came in one lap later to dismantle the idea, coming out the same distance ahead with one lap fresher tires. For the remainder of the event, Heuser would tag along his pack while Pettit towed the rear exactly four spots behind. WIthout a caution, engine failure or a mistake of any kind, Heuser would become our 2023 Extravaganza Series Champion.

10

Up front, it was a three car battle for supremacy between Donald Stewart, Dave Miller and Tony Pizzaro. Stewart passed Miller just after the stops, leading the entire way through before Pizzaro made a move n the outside lane with five laps to go. It was to no avail, with Stewart using the lapped car of Timothy McDonnell as a pick to secure the lead on the bottom, maintaining the distance for the entire run to secure the #55's first victory of 2023.

Qualifying Results

Ryan Heuser goes for his fourth Extravaganza Series Championship. He needs to finish 5th or better to clinch, with Ken Pettit only 31 points behind. If both drivers finish outside the top-43, John Battista could make a bid at the crown with a victory. Zakk Miller, Zach Michael and Markell Murphy occupy the top-3 positions on the grid in a Team Danger Zone horsepower monopoly. Steven Spears made his bid for the top-4 with a turn-2 accident, starting dead last in the field. Pettit will start 7th. Heuser will start 15th. Good luck to both, and may the points race not overshadow the race for the victory!

Randy Dobbins will race his last Extravaganza Series event. A welcome goodbye to "Slinkydees", and the Georgia Boot #96. You will be missed!

A qualifying effort of the ages for the Lifesavers crew. Bink Lucas escapes the dire vortex of missing the Bud Shootout, clinching the 127 mile-per-hour barrier when nobody else could. Our three Championship contenders qualify 9th, 29th and 33rd, well out of reach of an early bonus point. Battista and Pettit are the farthest back, hoping to ride their recent momentum-waves to the Extravaganza promiseland.

Race Recap

2

The front row rode side-by-side during the first lap. The outside line held through, giving Johnny Reed Foley the reigns on lap 1. He would pull away from the field while the remaining cars searched their way by the #5.

3

Tony Pizzaro was the first car to pass the Lifesavers Ford. He and Craig Lee ran second and third for most of the stint, with Lee taking over the runner-up spot 41 laps in. Johnny Reed Foley ran with a near 6-second advantage as he drove by Ben Geer's nearly stopped #29 after a blown engine. He would finish 43rd, dead last in the field.

4

Two of the three points contenders were in stride. Ryan Heuser drove from 9th to 5th position  by the end of the green flag run. John Battista gained 14 positions since the start and appeared to be the dominant car. In the back, Ken Pettit rode through the doldrums in 37th, in severe danger of going a lap down.

5

Coming out of the pits, Scott Jackson's engine errupted to bring out the first yellow flag. It was a hero's welcome for Pettit, coming out 30th after miraculous pit work. The #8 car would suddenly fly through the field like Battista did earlier, capturing a top-20 spot on lap 112.

6

Damage to Johnny Reed Foley's front bumper didn't stop him from maintaining his advantage. It hindered him little, but enough to force the hand of the Quick-Silver duo. An engine failure from Logan Sheets brought out the second caution, keeping Foley at the helm.

7

Ryan Heuser made his pass for the lead just after the halfway point, handing him the same five bonus points that Pettit would steal later in the race. He and Dave Miller tag-teamed away from the field. Unfortunately, their miraculous runs would not continue. The #138 blew a tire, forfeiting his second place spot and Championship lead for a new set. The #90 exploded an engine while leading, handing the top-spot back to Bink Lucas.

8

The high heat and lack of yellows put a myriad of cars into the garage. Tony Long was the next victim, ensuring his provisional for the Daytona 500 would be for not. Up front, all of the leaders came in for pit stops, handing Heuser a six-second advantage with 27 laps to go.

9

Holding off the field all race with an ill-handling racecar seemed to pay off. Bink Lucas remained near the front all day, passing Heuser with ease at the 14 to go mark. Ken Pettit would get by him, taking the second spot while earning a 10-point swing in the standings. The #8 team would only be 31 back heading to Homestead.

10

It's been an incredible Extravaganza Series stint for Bink Lucas. A fantastic Bonanza Series career earned him a spot-start at Pocono in 2019, taking the reigns of the #39 Lifesavers Chevrolet. An upset victory at Talladega two years later put him on the map, earning the Lifesavers sponsorship as his own to join forces with Jimmie Stevens in 2022. He won the Eddie Money Classic in his rookie campaign, and will come across the finish line at Phoenix victorious in his thrid straight year.

11

After much scrutiny over his early sophomore slump, Bink Lucas finds his way to victory lane to cap off an impressive second half of 2023. He earned a trip to the Bud Shootout and All-Star Race in a full swoop, becoming the 15th different winner and 19th different pole-sitter this season. Congrats to Bink, crew chief Doug Wilcox and the entire Lifesaver Racing organization for an excellent victory!

Qualifying Results

Ryan Heuser re-takes the points lead for the first time since Indianapolis. He went on a tear of three-straight top-3 finishes, reminiscent of his run at Bristol, Martinsville and Talladega to re-gain control of his Championship hopes. He is now at the top with two races left. Ken Pettit's advantage was nibbled away after a minor accident and Charlotte. Last week was the downfall, but his 70 laps led proves they still have the horsepower to re-gain their stride. If both drivers succumb to the desert heat, John Battista could steal the Championship away.

5

Bink Lucas continues to rack up the stat-sheet with his first pole of the season. He becomes the 19th different driver to lock himself into the Bud Shootout in 2024, hoping to capitalize the effort with his first victory in 2023. Bink and the Lifesaver's #5 average 47.4 laps led during their last five races, a dominant streak unlike any we've seen from the team. This could be it.

Despite the adversity, Ken Pettit remains the points leader heading into "The Rock". No finish worse than 24th, and only two results outside the top-6 so far. He will start 28th today. His counterpart Ryan Heuser is on the pole, looking to diminish the 91-point gap.

Race Recap

2

The green flag waved. Heuser led the first three laps before a hard-charging Team Danger Zone duo freight-trained him. Zach Michael led the next seven. Markell Murphy led most of the green flag run, with Bink Lucas and John Battista making hard-charges for the top-spot.

3

Ken Pettit slithered through the field in grand style. The pulsating hearts of the New York faithful were enraptured with joy, watching their driver meander from 28th to the lead before green flag pit stops. Nobody could stop this man. An early pit stop put Murphy and Bink Lucas back on top, with the top-3 in points occupying the next three positions.

4

The #5 and #47 swapped the lead a couple times before John Battista took it away on lap 105. He would start lapping cars, including Timothy McDonnell and Alex Crapser who failed to move forward after starting in the rear. Battista lapped through 32nd position before losing the lead to Ryan Heuser.

5

The top-2 in points alternated the lead before Pettit took it outright on lap 39. He would win the "Halfway Bacon Bonus", losing the top spot only once during green flag pit stops. A short-pit by Johnny Reed Foley had him up front some, but the top-3 in points would again occupy the top-3 positions. Suddenly, distaster struck. Ken Pettit made contact with Chauncey Redmond Jr., who was trying to un-lap himself after a blown tire. The nice, pristine Bob Marley machine flew into the outside wall hard, with both sides caved in along with severe engine damage. The chink in the armor was finally found.

6

The caution finally came out nearly two-thirds into the event. Alan Nesfeder and Cristian Torres made contact entering turn-3, sending both cars into the outside wall with Torres sliding down the racetrack. Zach Michael was the only driver to hit him, with John Tharp slamming Michael in the rear. After 224 hard-fought laps, they would finish 44th and 45th. By this time, Pettit had made a pit stop to repair the damage, earning one of his two laps back with his fresher tires.

7

The ensuing restart saw the #8 around once again, this time completely dismantled. A hard blow to the inside and outside walls was too much for the "Marley Tank". He flew up the racetrack after the first impact, tagging Markell Murphy, Matthew Dominique and Aaron Cummings. William Perry and Craig Lee failed to make it through unscathed. Ahead of them, leader John Battista tapped his teammate Dalton Lucas exiting turn-2, sending their cars towards the inside wall. Battista would continue, but Lucas was finished. David Butterworth, Dan Johnston, Bill Werkheiser, Rob Scarberry and Philip Parker were involved in a tertiary crash while racing back to the line. Five cars failed to continue, including points leader Pettit.

8

Ryan Heuser's newfound luck was glorious. He had occupied the points lead with minimal effort, and meandered inside the top-5 throughout the next green flag run. Johnny Reed Foley dominated up front, leading the field by three seconds. He would short-pit with 110 laps-to-go, attempting to split his pit stops into three equal segments. This would be his downfall.

9

Devastation occurred on lap 287. Dave Miller blew a right-rear tire exiting turn-2. He drifted up the racetrack into oncoming traffic, into the path of Markell Murphy and Craig Lee. Dave's car slipped upside-down and spun like a top, sliding down the banking and onto the turn-4 apron still on his roof. He would be alright. Tony Pizzaro and Randy Dobbins pilled into the accident from behind. Of the five, only Dobbins would continue in the race. Rob Scarberry would blow up under caution, leaving only 32 cars on the racetrack for the final 100-lap stint.

Ken Pettit enters the four-to-go stretch 64 points ahead of Ryan Heuser for the Championship crown! Both drivers will start inside the top-10, with the NOS Energy Chevrolet on the pole. Ironically, the #138 and #8 cars finished 1st and 7th during the spring race. Today, they will start 1st and 7th.

Race Recap

2

Dakota Wilkins pulled ahead early with his Lucas Racing horsepower propelling him to the ultimate heights. He would lead three laps in total, before renouncing the lead to John Battista who is in a desperate plea to dominate the event. He and John Tharp would swap the top-spots early in the go.

3

Battista, Tharp, Timothy McDonnell and Matt Raboin pulled ahead in a four-car breakaway at the front. McDonnell would nab his first bonus points of the race, amongst the seven drivers with a realistic chance to to catch the #8 and #138 in the standings. Towards the back, Tony Pizzaro and Matthew Dominique fell victim to flat tires, going a lap down early.

4

The first casualty of the event was Cristiano De Sa after a broken camshaft on lap 50, earning his 9th finish outside the top-35 in only 15 races in 2023. A caution flag brought out by a Matthew Dominique spin packed the field back together, seeing Bink Lucas and Matt Raboin fight it out for the top spot. Battista, Zakk Miller and John Battista all meandered spots at the front while the rest of the field remained in a two-to-three-wide frenzy.

Qualifying Results

Ryan Heuser earns his 5th pole of the season! A league leading effort at at 203.667 mile-per-hour. Everybody in the field cracked 200+, giving the fans the speed they desire. Hopefully the hot dogs they eat will stay down, enduring vomit-producing speeds throughout the 500-mile show! Grand marshal Theron Reeves will lead the field to green, hoping to not fall off the flagstand. Hopefully he's still young enough to know what green is.

 

Top-2 points contenders Ken Pettit and Ryan Heuser finished last week's Charlotte event unfavorably. One didn't even finish, flipping past stopped racecars to gain spots and earn 32nd place. The points gap closed to 185 from third place Alex Crapser, with nine drivers realistically back in contention. All top-4 drivers will start inside the top-10. Good luck to the peach state faithful! This one will be intense.
