The first repeat winner with the Sooner Region in the season’s first five events, the Clute, Texas driver drew the pole for the 25 lap affair at the quarter-mile oval.
Challenged on Lap 15 by Mike Goodman, the Oklahoma shoe utilized slower traffic to capture the point for a moment through turns one and two, but couldn’t make if official with Reutzel diving low on the No. 11AM entering the third turn to reclaim the lead.
On clear race track following a Lap 16 caution, the BC Funding No. 87 went unchallenged to the $2,000 score. Mike Goodman crossed second with Tony Bruce, Jr. coming from sixth to round out the podium. Tim Crawley from tenth and Dustin Morgan from seventh made up the top five.
