Killeen, TX — (June 8, 2013) — The final appearance of the Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region at the soon to close Texas Thunder Speedway saw Aaron Reutzel park his Momentum Suspensions No. 87 in victory lane.
Reutzel grabbed the race lead on the third round from Beau Smith at the tricky quarter-mile and held off the hard charging Logan Forler for his fourth victory of 2013, and twelfth overall with the Gulf South Region.
Grabbing the race lead on Lap 4 to find the caution flying, Channin Tankersley ended up third with Beau Smith and Klint Angelette completing the top five. Blake Hahn crossed sixth with Ray Allen Kulhanek clawing to seventh after falling off the track on Lap 5 and having to drop to the tail of the field. Michael Lang, Brandon Berryman, and Travis Elliot made up the top ten.
