Aaron Reutzel rebounds with High Limit victory at Michigan's Butler Speedway

QUINCY, Mich.—The span of 24 hours made quite the difference for Aaron Reutzel and Ridge & Sons Racing this weekend.

On Friday at 9:06pm, he was upside down in turn four at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Crashed with Tanner Thorson while battling for second in the Driven2SaveLives Battle at the 'Burg, the move took him out of the championship lead.

On Saturday at 9:14pm, he crossed the checkered flag in first at Butler Motor Speedway's Mace Thomas Classic - scoring his sixth series win of the season and re-claiming the championship lead with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing.

Taking advantage of Thorson's misfortune, Reutzel assumed control of the lead on Lap 18 when the Rod Gross Motorsports #88 slowed with mechanical issues after leading the first 17 circuits. From there, he continued a march through lap traffic and crossed the line with a 0.750-second margin of victory for his 13th career win with the series.

Following Reutzel to the stripe was Pennsylvania's Brent Marks with a season-best runner-up finish in his new-look #19. After him, Tyler Courtney earned his second podium of the year aboard the Clauson-Marshall Racing, NOS Energy Drink #7BC.

Closing out the top-10 at Butler Motor Speedway was Sye Lynch, Zane DeVault, Justin Peck, Tanner Holmes, Danny Sams III, Chase Randall, and Brenham Crouch.
