| Since scoring their fifth-place finish at Michigan International Speedway in early August, the No. 30 Rette Jones Racing team has struggled to keep the consistency on track, including the most recent ARCA race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway on September 14.
Muniz impressed in his Thunder Valley debut, but a restart accordion effect resulted in terminal damage to the No. 30 Ford | Rette Jones Racing Ford Mustang and a frustrating 23rd-place finish.
Heading to the famed Southern Indiana short track this weekend, Muniz and his Mooresville, N.C.-based team hope to find the bright light at the end of the tunnel and return to top-10 status under the lights Saturday night.
“We have two races left in the season, and I am determined to go to Salem this weekend and put an exclamation point on our finish,” said Muniz. “There are no words to describe what the last two months have been like for our Rette Jones Racing team.
“Without question, our No. 30 Ford | Rette Jones Racing Fords have had incredible speed, but for one reason or another, we have not been able to secure the finishes we deserved. Bristol really looked good for our Rette Jones Racing team, but trouble found us again, and we had nothing to show for our performance.
“This weekend, I turn to Salem Speedway, another new track during my rookie ARCA Menards Series season, and hope we’re able to put an end to this black cloud and earn a strong finish.”
The Scottsdale, Ariz. native is also focused on points. With his result at Bristol, Muniz remains fourth in points and sits 19 points behind fellow rookie Christian Rose.
A strong finish on Saturday night will assist him in reclaiming the points he has recently lost.
“We’re chasing more than a good finish on Saturday night at Salem,” added Muniz. “We are chasing points. I know the championship is impossible, but finishing third in points certainly is, and that is what we are fighting for over the next two weeks.” |
| |
For the ninth time this season, Muniz and Rette Jones Racing will display the Ford colors for the 19th ARCA Menards Series race of the season.
Former ARCA championship-winning crew chief and co-owner Mark Rette has been impressed with Muniz’s performances in the first 18 races of the year despite some heartache finishes. He looks forward to seeing him strengthen his craft in his Salem Speedway debut on September 30.
“The last seven or so races for us have been tough because we certainly have had the speed but lacked the results we know we were capable of,” offered Rette. “Frankie has stepped up to the plate and continued to give more than 100 percent behind the wheel – but we’ve just had racing circumstances that have hindered us a little.
“We made great progress at Bristol, and even though we continue to get knocked down, we are standing up just as fast and ready to fight again on Saturday night at Salem. Even though Salem, like Bristol, can tend to be a handful for rookies, I think Frankie will rise above that challenge and contend for a strong finish.”
Entering Salem, Muniz sits fourth in the ARCA Menards Series championship standings, 19 points behind third-place runner Christian Rose and 42 points behind second-place runner Andrés Pérez de Lara.
He sits 173 markers behind championship leader Jesse Love with two races remaining.
Rette Jones Racing stands a respectable seventh in the ARCA Menards Series championship owner standings.
Since 2023, Muniz has 18 ARCA Menards Series starts to his credit, with a career-best finish of fifth at Michigan International Speedway in August 2023. In all, Muniz has delivered one top-five and nine top-10 finishes. He also maintains an average finishing position of 11.2 in his inaugural year of stock car competition.

Justin Grant took the lead on lap 20 of 30 on the way to earning the victory on night two of the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship’s Driven2SaveLives BC39 at The Dirt Track at IMS, Thursday night. Cannon McIntosh finished second and Emerson Axsom was third to give Toyota a sweep of the podium with all three drivers transferring directly to Saturday night’s A Main.
The victory is Grant’s first national midget feature win of the season and closed out a dominating day that saw him win his opening heat race, his qualifying race, and the feature. He becomes the eighth different Toyota-powered driver to win in USAC competition this season. The win is the 12th career win for Grant with Toyota.
Starting on the front row with McIntosh, Axsom would take the lead on lap one with McIntosh right on his tail and Grant moving up to third.
As Axsom continued to pace the race, McIntosh closed to with .2 seconds of him before a caution flag would wave on lap 16. On the restart, Grant would get a run on McIntosh and take over second place on lap 17. Three laps later, Grant would overtake Axsom for the lead and pull away for the victory. Behind him, Axsom and McIntosh were evenly matched, but a slight bobble on the final lap allowed McIntosh to take advantage to come home in second with Axsom third.
Three more Toyota powers captured top-10 finishes on the night as Ryan Timms placed fifth, Karter Sarff was sixth and Jake Andreotti finished tenth.
The final night of the Driven2SaveLives BC 39 will take place at The Dirt Track at IMS on Saturday night with four Toyota drivers transferring directly to the A Main with Taylor Reimer joining Grant, McIntosh and Axsom after placing second on Thursday night.
Quotes:
Justin Grant, RMS Racing: “We’re here racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in front of all these great fans so we’re not going to phone it in and come home third if we can help it. We’ve worked really, really hard on this RMS car all week since Eldora. We’ve been working late nights on this thing and I think we built a better mouse trap. Our RMS race cars are fast and I think it could be a slugfest tomorrow.”
Cannon McIntosh, CB Industries: “Track position is big right now and luckily, we started up front. Every lap I ran on the cushion I felt like I was getting more and more comfortable. It was a big learning curve for me, but I felt like in the long runs I was really good. I got to Emerson there early in the race and then we got right up to him, and I felt like we were going to make a move and then the yellow came out. Then Grant restarted really well, and his short run speed was really good and once he got out front, you really weren’t going to catch him. Then we got that last yellow and Emerson got tripped up a little, so I had a chance, and we were able to get second. Hats off to the CB Industries team. I felt like we were really good all night and got better and better every time we ran. Hats off to GearWrench, Toyota, Mobil 1, K1 RaceGear and a lot of people who help me get into this position.”
Emerson Axsom, Keith Kunz Motorsports: “We ran third, but I thought Cannon and I were the same speed and I thought I had no pressure for second, but I messed up and he was able to drive around me. It’s awesome to be here and I’m glad all the fans came. It’s an awesome event honoring Bryan and Driven2SaveLives. I want to thank Keith Kunz Motorsports, Toyota, Chuckie and my dad, they’re working really hard.”

The Sherry Strong Foundation Joins Sam Hunt Racing to Honor Sherry Pollex at the Charlotte ROVAL
NASCAR Partners with Chevrolet to Continue ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ in October
Chevrolet will continue its fight against breast cancer with the return of the specially-themed pink ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ Camaro ZL1 as the official pace car for the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series races at Talladega Superspeedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Martinsville Speedway.
Featuring the American Cancer Society logo, the pink Camaro ZL1 pace car will raise both money and awareness as it serves as the pace car at each of the three events during the month of October. For every caution lap the pink Camaro ZL1 completes, Chevrolet will make a donation of $350 (up to $50,000) to the American Cancer Society to honor the ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ initiative. Chevrolet will also host a group of breast cancer survivors at each race with the experience including special appearances by Team Chevy NASCAR Cup Series drivers, rides in the pink Camaro ZL1 pace car and more.
This marks the 13th consecutive year Chevrolet has partnered with the American Cancer Society and its ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ initiative. In 2022, 108 caution laps were completed among the three participating races, generating a $37,800 donation to the American Cancer Society.
“Chevrolet is proud to continue our commitment to the American Cancer Society’s ‘Making Strides Against Breast Cancer’ initiative,” said Alyssa Haba, Motorsports Strategic Planning and Operations Manager for Chevrolet. “It is always an honor to carry the ACS logo on our pink Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 pace car during the month of October and we look forward to the opportunity to bring awareness for this important cause to the track again this year.”
NASCAR will support Chevrolet’s continued efforts in the fight against breast cancer by partnering with the manufacturer to add an additional market to the program for this year’s campaign. Together, NASCAR and Chevrolet will host the third event at one of its original tracks, Martinsville Speedway, as the sanctioning body celebrates its 75th anniversary.
“We applaud our great partners at Chevrolet for all the tremendous work they do to bring significant visibility to breast cancer awareness and the American Cancer Society,” said Michelle Byron, NASCAR senior vice president of partnership marketing. “NASCAR is honored to provide a platform for this initiative and play a role in the fight against a disease that directly impacts so many people across the globe.”
The pink Camaro ZL1 will make its first on-track appearance of the season this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, serving as the pace car for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500.
