Aaron Reutzel Wins Bob Weikert Memorial; Trent Yoder Dominates in Wingless Sportsman

Port Royal, PA -- The Bob Weikert Memorial finale on Sunday, May 26th has become one for the history books as late Friday night it became the highest paying race in Pennsylvania dirt track racing history. The driver who would etch their name into the history books on Sunday night hails from Clute, Texas and would lead from start to finish. Aaron Reutzel picked up his fourth career Port Royal Speedway win and would walk away $100,000 dollars richer.

Reutzel would start to the inside of the front row with Kubota High Limit Racing series point lead Brad Sweet starting to his outside. Reutzel would get off to a fast start taking the early lead with Sweet in second and Anthony Macri in the third spot.

Macri would find himself in a three car battle for the third position with Logan Wagner taking the position away 3 laps into the feature event and Brian Brown in contention as well.

Lance Dewease, who started in seventh would begin his charge to the top spots with six laps completed as he was able to get by Brian Brown to move himself up into sixth using the bottom side of the race track.

The battle for the podium positions would heat up with ten laps completed as Brad Sweet, Anthony Macri, Logan Wagner, and Lance Dewease would all battle for the runner-up spot.

Macri would take the runner-up spot with 29 laps remaining and Dewease would get by Wagner three laps later to take the final podium spot.

Following a competition stoppage to allow the driver to refuel their cars with 25 laps remaining, Reutzel and Macri would go to battle for the lead on the ensuing restart.

Macri would overtake Reutzel for the top spot using the top lane on the front stretch once the green flag waved, but a flipping Zach Hampton would draw the red flag and line the field back up in single file formation.

For the remaining 25 laps, Reutzel would hold off one more challenge from Macri and would go on to lead the remaining laps of the event to claim the biggest paying win of his career and take home the famed bull head trophy as a part of the Bob Weikert Memorial.

"One hundred grand. What more can I say?" put Reutzel in victory lane. "I love this place. I've made a lot of money here. I can't wait to keep making more and hearing some more boos."

Anthony Macri would hold on to the runner-up spot and Lance Dewease would round out the top 3.

In wingless super sportsmen competition, Trent Yoder would dominate the field.

Yoder started in the fourth position of the twenty lap A-main event. He would quickly find himself in the second spot and would trail Troy Rhome for a few laps before getting by him with 15 laps remaining and wouldn't be challenged the rest of the way to go on for the win.

Tony Jackson would come from his ninth starting position to finish in second and Cliff Brian Jr. would round out the top 3.

Port Royal Speedway will be back in competition on Saturday May 31st with Weikert's Livestock 410 sprint cars, Penns Valley Meat Market 305 sprint cars, and USAC East Coast wingless sprint cars on Military Appreciation Night. Any fan with military ID will get free admission to The Speed Palace.
