The 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 started off with QSM Teammates Ryan Heuser and Craig Lee dominating the field, racing hand-in-hand or the lead during the first-half of the initial fuel run. For them, it would be the pinnacle of their race.

Between 5th and 15th, the racing remained 3-wide during same fuel run. There would still be enough draft to keep up with the Quicksilver cars, keeping about 25 different cars in serious contention early.

After a Russell Charneski and Dale Rosendaul crash in turn 3, Heuser, Lee, Matthew Dominique, Rick Jackson, Tim McDonnell, Tony Pizzaro, Zach Michael, John Battista and Alex Crapser all get busted for passing the pace car before entering the pit road. These top-9 cars would have to take a stop-and-go penalty, and spend the rest of their race trying to get their lap back the only way they can: The hard way.

A series of incidents were to be expected with the intense racing, partially caused by the 9 fastest cars trying to get their lap back. The first one again involved Charneski, who made contact with Adam Crapser entering turn 3. Russ's car flew down the track into Tony Pizzaro, sending both cars flipping wildly while Alex and Zach parted the seas. Craig would also get involved in the incident. The second crash was the most mentally devastating, as Charneski again got rear-ended by Rick Jackson on the front-stretch. The #17 would clip Tim McDonnell and send him hard into the wall and over Rick's roof. Both cars were an inch away from getting their lap back too, a chance that neither would receive again. The final big wreck was started with Zakk Miller and William Perry making contact in turn 1, sliding them into the entire field. Bill Werkheiser slammed Miller upside-down as Scott Deutsch did the same for Dan Johnston. Jonathan Skrabacz would also receive severe damage from the incident.

Ken Pettit and Matthew Dominique dominated most of the race. The former was steady throughout, while Matthew was one of the three lucky ones to win their lap back. Zach Michael and John Battista were the other two, and both would play a part in the final laps.

On the final pit-stop, John Battista was the first car to take on two-tires instead of gas and boy did it pay off. He was strong enough, and smart enough, to push Pettit away from the faster Matthew Dominique As the laps winded down. With a late-race caution and a 6-lap shootout, the gap would close.

Dominique restarted 5th and charged immediately, passing Michael and Donald Stewart before catching Battista. With 2-laps to go, the two would race side-by-side as Pettit pulled away. The #39 was able to hold his ground on the high-line to finish second while Ken Pettit and the Bob Marley crew cross the line with the Folds of Honor victory. Congrats to Ken, crew chief Slim Horton and the Race2Win team for an excellent win!
