Lonnie Wheatley, CLUTE, Texas (June 10, 2014) – Coming off a weekend washout, Aaron Reutzel sets his sights on the Bob Westphal Memorial Cup as the 22nd ASCS Speedweek fires off this Saturday night at the storied Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, TX.
Reutzel and the Bob and Christie Miller’s Car Parts Machine/Wren Motorsports No. 87 Triple-X team were geared up for ASCS National action this past weekend at Lexington, TN, on Friday night and then Little Rock’s I-30 Speedway on Saturday only to have Mother Nature dictate otherwise.
“Friday rained out early so we watched the World of Outlaws race at I-80 in Nebraska then hauled on down to Little Rock,” Reutzel said.
All set to try to make it three wins in a row at “Hammer Hill” aboard the Momentum Racing Suspensions/Danny Sander Construction/ButlerBuilt machine, it wasn’t meant to be as a late afternoon storm washed out the proceedings.
“We unloaded just in time to load it back up and get out of there,” Reutzel said.
Still sixth in ASCS National points after the weekend washout, Reutzel and the Lone Star Hydro Maintenance/BC Fundz/Wright Way Logistics team will look to gain some ground over the five-race ASCS Speedweek that fires off Saturday at Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, TX.
Following Saturday’s Speedweek opener at Devil’s Bowl, action resumes next Wednesday night, June 18, at Lawton (OK) Speedway before moving on to Creek County Speedway near Tulsa on Thursday the 19th, Muskogee’s Outlaw Motorsports Park on the 20th and then Wheatland, Missouri’s Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday the 21st.
With nearly $150,000 on the line over the course of the five events, Reutzel will try to come away with the ASCS Speedweek title and the Bob Westphal Memorial Cup.
Already a winner of five feature events this year, Reutzel has previously visited victory lane at two Speedweek tracks including Creek County Speedway and Outlaw Motorsports Park.
2014 Quick Stats: 27 races, 5 wins, 16 top-fives, 21 top-tens, 5 heat race wins, 3 “B” Main wins.
