Reutzel Seeks to Secure Another All Star Title this Weekend
CLUTE, Texas (October 9, 2020) – Aaron Reutzel and the Baughman-Reutzel Motorsports No. 87 Sprint Car team finish off a third consecutive season with the All Star Circuit of Champions at this weekend’s Jim and Joanne Ford Classic at Ohio’s Fremont Speedway.
And the Folkens Brothers Trucking/Dissolvalloy Downhole Revolution Triple-X Sprint Car team also hope to put the finishing touches on a third consecutive series championship.
After capturing the series title over each of the past two seasons, Reutzel and the Precision Catalyst/Hollywood Blasting & Coating/Beard Equipment team take a 74-point lead into the weekend that includes events on both Friday and Saturday.
Simply finishing an average of 18th or better each night will secure a third consecutive series crown for the team.
“We just have to race our race on both nights and take care of business,” Reutzel says going into the weekend. “Ideally, we could finish it off with another win or two.”
Ten of Reutzel’s 14 overall wins in 2020 have occurred in All Star Circuit of Champions competition, including a July 5 Ohio Sprint Speedweek triumph at Fremont Speedway after posting a runner-up finish atop the Ohio dirt oval the previous night.
Reutzel enters the weekend after taking on the World of Outlaws last weekend at Williams Grove Speedway’s “National Open” where he posted a strong fourth-place finish in Friday’s preliminary and was on the move from 16th in Saturday’s $75,000-to-win main event until debris forced a helmet change and then later mechanical issues cut the run short.
Reutzel and the Nattress Construction/Momentum Racing Suspension/Fischer Body Shop team look to finish out the All Star Circuit of Champions portion of the 2020 season in strong form at Fremont Speedway this weekend.
2020 Quick Stats: 77 races, 14 wins, 37 top-fives, 50 top-tens.
Next Up: All Star Circuit of Champions at Fremont (OH) Speedway on Friday and Saturday.
