Aaron Reutzel at Knoxville (Chuck Stowe Photo)
(Bill W) A busy weekend ahead finds big paying races at Jackson Friday, Knoxville Saturday and Huset’s Sunday. The “Border Battle” series will pay $7,000 to win each night, and Greg Parent (GRP Motorsports) will be offering up tow money for teams who make all three events.
Aaron Reutzel took the win Saturday at Knoxville, and also claimed the $100 quick time award from OpenWheel101.com.
Austin McCarl and Aaron Reutzel are just about as close in the OpenWheel101.com standings as they are at Knoxville Raceway! Chase Randall, Kerry Madsen, Kaleb Johnson, Scott Bogucki, Carson McCarl, Garet Williamson, Dusty Zomer, and Brian Brown make up the current top ten.
Point fund donations are needed! The last came from Charlie and Lori Cutter in honor of the Med-Star Rescue Team. 100% of the funds go to the drivers!
To donate to the point fund, or learn more about it, visit www.OpenWheel101.com or contact Bill Wright at sprntcar@hotmail.com, on Facebook or at the racetrack! Venmo is @Bill-Wright5.
