Reutzel Controls Texas POWRi Sprint

FORT WORTH, Texas — Aaron Reutzel led all 25 laps with perfection in the headlining POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint League feature Friday night at The Dirt Track at Texas Motor Speedway.

It was his fifth POWRi Sprint Series triumph.

Reutzel set a quick qualifying time of 13.359 seconds with Garet Williamson, Austin Mundie, and Jason Martin each earning heat racing victories.

Reutzel and Tanner Thorson lined up in the front row as Reutzel would gain the lead on the opening lap with Thorson, Brenham Crouch, Martin, and Emerson Axsom all raced within the top five in the early stages.

Reutzel appeared to be in a different area code while leading with Thorson attempting to stay within striking distance as the laps began to tick away at rapid rate with battling action ensuing behind the leading pair.

Continuing to show the front of the field through late race restarts, Reutzel would not be denied in earning his second seasonal POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed main event with Thorson maintaining the runner-up position through the later stages of the race while dealing with lapped traffic. 

“Our car was phenomenal, the track had everything tonight. It was technical and it made it a lot of fun to race, hopefully the race was fun for the fan tonight,” said Reutzel. “I love to see cars here, I love this place and wish I could race here more. Hats off to the crew for putting in the work and making this track as good as it was tonight.”
