FREMONT, Ohio – Aaron Reutzel came into Fremont Speedway Fueled by FriendShip Kitchen Tuesday with a ton of momentum having won the previous two weeks, including Saturday. Reutzel led all 40 laps of 75th birthday bash for “The Track That Action Built” for the $20,000 payday on Kistler Engines/Kistler Racing Products, Biggby Coffee Night.
Reutzel had won the last two Interstate Batteries High Limit features (Saturday’s event was co-sanctioned with the NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline Oil). Tuesday the Clute, Texas driver, a three time All Star champion, earned his third straight win, his fourth career victory at Fremont Speedway and his 40th career All Star win.
It wasn’t easy as several cautions kept defending All Star champion Kalib Henry close. Henry closed several times on Reutzel in lapped traffic just as a caution would fly. It was adjustments during an open red with 17 laps remaining that helped Reutzel take the win over Henry, Cole Macedo who charged from 23rd, Justin Peck and Bryce Lucius.
“Track was pretty good tonight. We were struggling. We tried stuff all night. When you are running for points you never get to test and we tested a bunch of stuff tonight and nothing was really that good. So we went back to what we know. We were so rushed there at the end that I forgot to put some stuff back and under that open red I had them adjust the left rear shock and I was back to being really good,” said Reutzel beside his Folkens Brothers Trucking, Power Plus, Bryant Paver Motorsports, STC, Monte Farms backed #87.
“I don’t think I’ve ever won a race in the rain or pull tear-offs because of the rain but it never got sketchy. Good call on the track to just run it out. Cool to win $20 grand too off the High Limit. Thanks to Don Long…brand new motor and it was pretty good,” added Reutzel.
Henry was happy with how his team has improved since the start of the year.
“Had a hard time getting going. We were a little bit de-tuned and it wouldn’t take off on the restarts on the bottom. We were way way better once we got to traffic. I was licking my chops hoping for a long run in traffic. I just kept catching lapped traffic in the wrong spot. That was a ton of fun,” said Henry of his Triple J Towing, Birchard Financial, Harris Distributing, C&H Veteran Enterprises, Valvoline, FK Rod Ends, Berryman Racing Shocks backed #101.
Macedo, who won the High Limit event at Fremont in 2025, put on quite the show driving a back-up car for Mintz Motorsports.
“This goes to show just how bad ass Fremont Speedway is. It’s never one lane and you can race all over the track. Throwing big bombs against a big curb. It’s a testament to Rich Farmer and the whole crew at Fremont Speedway. I love coming here. I got to come back and race with the Linder boys and I’m so thankful for Craig Mintz giving me this opportunity,” said Macedo beside his Fremont Speedway Motorsports Education, Real Geese Decoys, Grant Decker Construction, Gill Construction, Real Capz backed #09x.
Fremont Speedway Presented by the FriendShip Kitchen will be back in action Saturday, May 23 with the Double Down Throw Down Salute to the Military with the 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action.
