Abreu, Sweet Lead 40-Car FS1 Field; Larson Likely Out
Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing is staging the FS1-televised Speedway Motors Spring Jackpot at Eagle Raceway on Tuesday as a national television showcase of Roto-Rooter Midweek Series sprint car action. The Spring Jackpot is the second of six FS1 telecasts and the second of 16 Midweek Series rounds, and it is the first of two High Limit stops at Eagle this season. About 40 cars are entered for the midweek stop, which organizers say will sustain momentum ahead of the $50,000-to-win FK Rod Ends Eagle Nationals, which will return to Eagle Raceway on June 9.
The race carries championship implications: Tanner Thorson, driving the Rod Gross Motorsports No. 88, leads the Midweek Series by 27 points over Aaron Reutzel in the Ridge & Sons Racing No. 87. Pre-race favorites include Rico Abreu of Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Giovanni Scelzi of Spire Motorsports, who has finished top 10 in all nine High Limit events and has an 11-race top-10 streak, Brad Sweet of Silva Motorsports and Reutzel. Kerry Madsen, the most recent Midweek Series winner and the defending Eagle Raceway winner, and Tyler Courtney, who won on the recent weekend at Tri-State Speedway, are also in the mix.
High-profile part-time entries expected include Corey Day (Jason Meyers Racing No. 14), Garet Williamson (Fischer Motorsports No. 23), Logan Seavey (CB Industries/Spire No. 87x) and Ryan Timms (Liebig Motorsports No. 10); speculation circulated that Kyle Larson was not expected to race. FloRacing will stream Hot Laps and Qualifying at 5:30 p.m. local (6:30 p.m. ET), and FS1 begins live coverage at 7:00 p.m. local (8:00 p.m. ET) to show Heat Races, a possible C-Main, the Dash, the B-Main and the A-Main. Sye Lynch and Tanner Holmes have each notched their first podiums of the season in recent rounds.
