The new Hostess Hero "young guns" have arrived! Markell Murphy and Dakota Wilkins look smooth, catapulting their newfound prominence towards the Extravaganza elite. Both are on pace to win 12 events, a feat that hasn't been duplicated since Harrison James in the early 1990's. Neither driver has finished better than 12th in the standings. With Scott Jackson, Randy Dobbins and Bill Werkheiser sitting on the hammock, or close to it, these guys could take their place in the upper-echelon of stock car racing!

Markell Murphy Career Statistics

Dakota Wilkins Career Statistics

Ryan Heuser enters the Eddie Money Classic with a 41-point advantage, tied with Dakota Wilkins with three top-10's; with Zakk Miller and Craig Lee for the most top-5's! Miller's #30 Team Danger Zone Mustang has led the most circuits with 261,with Heuser, Wilkins, Logan Sheets, Tony Pizzaro, Rick Jackson, Zach Michael and John Battista completing every lap so far. With the Eddie Money Classic moved to March, the weather will be cool. Possibly too cool for two-time reigning winner John Tharp. The headlines say he will never win again on the seemingly moribund Toyota factory program. Will he prove us wrong?

Molemar Diggs earns his first career pole! He, Adam Crapser, Zakk Miller and John Tharp all suffered woes during the Daytona 500, hoping to re-capitalize on their 2025 success. Ryan Heuser goes 2-for-2 in front-row starting spots, with 2025 dominator Zakk Miller outside the top-30 for a second-straight week. 46 cars will make the show, with Scott Jackson making his season debut in the #38. Gateway winner Tony Gunk will bring back the "Kelpo Cam", with Ronaldo Scott, Larry Sheldrake and Nigel Ramasawmy also making the show. Rookie of the Year favorite Dong Sup Park finished dead-last during the qualifying heat, exiting the car with three steering wheels in the cockpit. "He was changing them out during the race" said crew chief Lester Bryant. "One was triangular shaped. It looked like a clothes hanger without the hook." Expect the #66 Reese's Cup Petizione Chevrolet to improve with proper patience.

Complains about last weeks broadcast were brought to the attention of all! "Steven Spock sounded like Lucifer" said Extravaganza Superfan Chuck Barone. Fortunately, his laryngitis has subsided, caused by singing "Happiness is a Warm Gun" in a local Beatles musical. Pit reporter Dale Rosendaul dropped his microphone into a cooler, electrocuting the Heineken inside. We even missed Markell Murphy's "Cripple Creek Shuffle" in victory lane. Fortunately, the race was saved by a record crowd of 427,000 including musician Wicked Enos and Hollywood stuntman Bismol Skaggs. They witnessed the fastest race in Extravaganza Series history, with Markell Murphy breaking his own record at 209.571 miles-per-hour. Expect more of the same speeds for the Cracker Barrel 500!

Tony Pizzaro leads the points for the first time since his Bristol victory in 2023, edging out Zach Michael by a point despite extending his lead-lap streak to eight. "We haven't won an oval in two years!" said crew chief Neil Justice "Tony's jiffy pop diet has deteriorated his reflexes. We've got him on an all-pizza regimen for 2025." Up front, William Perry earns his first pole since Rockingham of 2020! Four-tenths faster than Zakk Miller and the only man to clinch 14-seconds. His 2016 Martinsville victory stands the test of time, running out of grains in the proverbial hourglass. "I told Marty to soak all the tires, including the steering wheel!" said Perry, boasting about his recent new-hire. "He got fired from Domino's for refusing to slice the pizzas. He claimed that a whole pizza tasted better than one piece." Hopefully this new way of thinking will get Tex back to victory lane.

Molemar Diggs and the #41 Wizards of Speed team celebrate their Darlington victory with a trip to the Doobie Brothers concert. "Michael McDonald was screaming vowels like a madman!" said crew chief Banks Germany. "Instead of "Takin' It to the Streets", he sang AAAEEIIIIUUUUAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEE." "He looks like a plump Randy Lajoie with glasses." said Molemar. He'll start deep in the field at Bristol, hoping to maintain their top-10 status. Teammate Chauncey Redmond Jr. also joined them at the concert, burning his finger with a glow-stick. He will start mid-pack, hoping the G-Forces will suck out the goo.

Steve Inkman crashes his #57 Cholula Dodge Intrepid rear-end first into the turn-1 wall at Atlanta Motor Speedway, flipping twice and landing back on his wheels. His speed was over 170 miles-per-hour during the moment of impact, and was rushed to the nearest medical facility for further observation. Inkman had landed his new-found sponsor only two months ago, elated at the chance of running the entire 2022 season. There is no word yet on his condition.

NFL referee John Hussey will pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an N.O.R.L. top-tier sanctioned racer after earning his Bonanza Series license last week! The NFL has decided to sponsor him in a #35 black and white Chevrolet, co-owned by Harry Lapp and his wife Paula with sanctioning sponsor CUDDLY animal welfare. At age 57 and nearly no experience on the racetrack, several Bonanza Series regulars are in dismay at the story. "He'll be lapped within 10 laps at Daytona if he somehow makes the field" says veteran Ron Stout. "He is in the business of making calls, now he's in the business of hitting walls. Good luck avoiding this man!". Extravaganza Series phenom and NFL super-fan King Joe Dawkins likes the publicity. "This will have millions of NFL fans viewing the lower-tier series, which is excellent for the current status of our sport. Let there be refs!". Hussey is expected to attempt most of the schedule between February through the end of July. "I'll be happy just to make one race. If we don't make the field, it means we didn't crash! We only have one car so let's make it count!"

The Busch Bonanza Series points standings have been primarily recovered from a withered vagabond inside the Woodbury catacomb's off the limits of Williams Hill, South Carolina. He is known as "Fogger Wayne" by the few community residents. According to the Bonanza representative who was brave enough voyage into the crypt, Wayne had etched the standings into stone after every event. He would travel to the riverbeds for fish every morning, hearing camper radios of live race results on the weekends. He has reportedly been unable to record top-5's, top-10's or laps led because he is uneducated and can't count. The Bonanza representative took note of every etching, giving Wayne a new fishing pole and axe blade for the trouble. Here are the points that were added up:
