Quick-Silver Motorsports struggled mightily during the first two months of their 2024 campaign. A second-place finish in the Daytona 500 behind Alex Crapser put Craig Lee in welcome territory, earning the victory at The Rock the following Friday to nab the points lead! From there, eight-straight finishes of 23rd or worse in the following nine events dropped the NOS Energy #101 team to 16th in the standings, with teammate Ryan Heuser narrowly cracking the top-30. An 8th-place finish at Kansas started the ascending climb to the Championship! Fourteen top-20 finishes in the final fifteen events locked he and Heuser in, capping it off with top-3 finishes at Watkins Glen and Richmond. A victory at Talladega was countered by a crash at Charlotte, earning the pole in each to clinch a 2025 Big Bud Shootout birth! Since then, three-straight top-16's kept Lee in the running. He's 119 points behind season dominator Johnny Reed Foley. A problem for the AC-Delco #3 is the only hope.
