A 20th-place finish in the Daytona 500 sparked Ryan Heuser's 2024 campaign. Four-straight efforts of 35th-or-worse ensued, with a 9th place finish at Texas failing to rectify his situation. The #138 Nos Energy Quick-Silver Motorsports Chevrolet would have to qualify on speed! 38th in the standings rendered Heuser without a provisional for Richmond, having to race Alan Nesfeder, Jimmie Stevens and other unlucky souls for the top-8 in the 80-lap pre-qualifier. Heuser won the race! A third-place effort in the main event got the ball rolling. Still, they were concluded as blackballed from the Chase after such a major deficit. By Chicagoland, the team was up to 29th in points. Seven-straight top-10 finishes including a victory at the Brickyard 400 jumped him the 19 spots they needed! A competitive field kept the middle-pack points getters close; giving Heuser the opportunity to pass two to three spots at a time with each top-10. "The 46-car fields during the summer-stretch was our salvation" said crew chief Mustard Mahoney. "If a guy went out, we'd gain 100+ every time. Fortunately we never had a problem when it counted most. Everyone else did." Heuser enters Homestead leading in six-straight events, attempting to remedy his broken camshaft at Talladega with a fifth Extravaganza Series crown! They come in just 56-points behind Foley, needing the #3 AC-Delco Chevrolet to finish 13th-or-worse to have a chance.
