DONNELLSON, Iowa — Aaron Reutzel dominated in an over seven second winning advantage with the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint in the Hawkeye Hustle to notch his fourth league victory and pocket the $5,000 payday at Lee County Speedway.
Flying onto the smooth surface with 27 talented entrants of the POWRi 410s would see Garet Williamson set a track record quick qualifying time of 13.096-second lap.
Captivating the crowd on the initial green flag start with high-point qualifier Reutzel and Blake Hahn lined up in the front row as pole-starter Reutzel would gain the lead on the opening lap with Hahn, Chase Randall, Austin McCarl, and Williamson all raced within the top five.
Dominating in fine fashion, Reutzel was in a class by himself throughout the feature never really feeling any pressure for the top running position as true battle would break out throughout the pas with Austin McCarl and Garet Williamson swarming around Hahn, Paul Neinhiser and Chase Randall all event within the top six.
Reutzel would not be denied in earning his fourth career POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint victory in an action-packed 30-lap caution free main event with Austin McCarl hustling into the runner-up position late.
“We tried a different car tonight and I think we might be onto something with this car handling the shorter tracks better,” said Reutzel. “It seemed like I could run anywhere with so much drive off the corners.”
Challenging closely behind would find Williamson placing on the final podium placement from the starting fourth on the initial green flag. Chase Randall would be among the frontrunners all feature to fourth as Blake Hahn would round out the top five.
