Lonnie Wheatley, CLUTE, Texas (February 4, 2016) – Two weekends away from a racetrack was enough.
Rather than sit idle for another pair of weekends, Aaron Reutzel and the Shark-powered Dissolvealloy Frac Ball Revolution /BC Fundz No. 87 Triple-X Sprint Car team are making the 900-plus mile journey from Clute, TX, to Ocala, FL, for this weekend’s opening pair of All Star Circuit of Champions events at Bubba Raceway Park.
“I’m looking forward to getting some laps in before King of 360’s and then the ASCS title defense,” Reutzel says. “And maybe we can come away with a win or two to top it off.”
Reutzel made his first visit to Bubba Raceway Park last February and immediately found the uniquely-shaped 3/8-mile clay oval to his liking.
The reigning ASCS National champion nearly captured victory honors in his All Star debut aboard the Wren Motorsports/Momentum Racing Suspensions machine, leading 28 of 30 laps before mechanical issues slowed his pace and forced him to settle for second.
Reutzel returned to Bubba Raceway Park several weeks later for ASCS action and paced the field all 25 laps for one of his 12 overall wins in 2015 aboard the Danny Sander Construction/ButlerBuilt entry.
“We were fast there right out of the box last year, hopefully we can do that again,” Reutzel said.
Reutzel opened the 2016 campaign with five nights of Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdown action at Yuma, Arizona’s Cocopah Speedway before taking part in his first Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, OK.
This weekend’s All Star double at Bubba Raceway Park will mark the first of two Florida weekends for Reutzel and the Wright Way Logistics team with East Bay Raceway Park’s $10,000-to-win “King of 360’s” Winter Nationals to follow on February 18-20.
