Ryan Heuser Wins TOYOTA OWNERS 500!

It was an amazing day for the masses! Many watched as the sun grew dim, awaiting the third short-track event of the season to commence. The first two were won by Randy Dobbins and Craig Lee, who are both in serious chase contention coming in. It will be a perfect opportunity for Johnny Reed Foley, Ben Geer, Tony Pizzaro, Alex Crapser and Zakk Miller to show off their talents and put themselves back into the hunt after a lackluster start.

Tony Pizzaro won the pole with an incredible 130.5 mph lap. He went on to lead the first 54 laps before lapped traffic took it's toll, forcing Craig Lee and teammate Ryan Heuser by. Alan Nesfeder also flew by the #12, having his best run of the season in third position.

Craig Lee held the lead through lap 109 when Jimmie Stevens and Adam Crapser made contact entering turn 3. Adam's car slid into the outside wall and softly tapped it on the drivers side, bringing out the first caution of the night. Craig was able to barely sneak by on the inside, as the incident occurred directly in front of him.

After a second caution that sent Brodrrick Whtmann upside-down, points leader Tim McDonnell and pole-sitter Tony Pizzaro decided to pit for tires. It was a terrible mistake, as both would be caught in heavy traffic trying to fly back to the front. Alan and Tim would made contact coming out of turn 2, sending Tim's car down into Tony's rear bumper. They would both smack the wall, with Tony recovering to a fourth place finish while Tim maintained his points lead.

After Ryan Heuser, Scott Jackson, John Tharp and Craig Lee all took turns leading, Alex Crapser took the position at the halfway point of the race. He would lead it throughout the rest of the fuel run, but relinquished it to Scott Jackson and Tony Pizzaro due to short-pitting. He would take it back on lap 328 as he and Craig began to pull away.

John Tharp and Matthew Dominique had stopped for gas on lap 170, meaning only they could make it the rest of the way on only one more pit stop. John came in successfully on lap 295, but Matthew scraped the pit entry wall coming in, narrowly avoiding complete disaster, but destroying his strategy in the process. For now, it was Tharp's time to shine under the perfect circumstances.

Disaster struck on lap 359, when Scott Jackson and David Courtney made contact in turn 3. David went spinning directly in front of Alex Crapser, who slammed head-on into the right side of the #13. He was hit again on the side by Zach Michael, deeming his car uncompetitive for the rest of the race. Alex would redeem to an 8th place finish by being one of the few cars still on the lead lap.

Pit strategy flew out the window due to Tharp losing immense time on old tires. Despite everybody else pitting, 8 cars managed to stay on the lead lap to see Tony Pizzaro pass Craig Lee for the lead on lap 173. Craig took it back on lap 379 after the two raced side-by-side for a couple of laps. With only 12 laps to go, Ryan was able to pass his teammate and brought along Matt Raboin to join the fight. It was #138 and #87 in first and second with 10 laps to go.

Coming on 9-to-go, Ken Pettit smacked the wall out of turn 2, causing Mark Guthrie and Adam Crapser to spin behind him. It created a 3-lap shootout, as Ryan was able to use the lapped car of Ben Geer to keep the others from getting close as he sailed on to victory. It was his long awaited triumph after being the consistent favorite to win every race other than Daytona, where Rick Jackson took the odds. Congrats to Ryan, crew chief Mustard Mahoney, and the entire Quicksilver Motorsports team for an excellent victory!
