Brent Marks extends podium streak as Reutzel wins in Mandan

Aaron Reutzel won the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing feature Saturday night in Mandan, marking the series’ debut in North Dakota and the city’s first national sprint car race in 17 years. Reutzel started from the pole after winning his 10th FK Rod Ends Dash and drove Ridge & Sons’ No. 87 to the victory. The race saw multiple lead changes and late traffic — Brent Marks slipped past Reutzel on Lap 19 before Reutzel retook the lead on Lap 25. Reutzel held off Marks through a green-white-checkered restart and won by 0.991 seconds. It was Reutzel’s 14th career High Limit Racing win, tying him for second-most in series history, and his seventh trip to Whiskey Myers Victory Lane this season. Marks finished second (his fourth runner-up of the week and fifth consecutive podium, a streak that ranks as the third-longest in series history), with Tanner Thorson third, Rico Abreu fourth and Tyler Courtney fifth.
