Port Royal Speedway canceled the three-day Bob Weikert Memorial that had been scheduled for May 22–24 and rescheduled the event for the weekend of July 25–26. Track officials said the $100,000-to-win Weikert’s Livestock 410 sprint car finale set for July 26 will be paid only if the July 25 program is successfully completed, and that a reduced purse for July 26 will be announced if July 25 is not completed. The July 25 program will pay $10,000-to-win.

Organizers had planned the May weekend as the Bob Weikert Memorial presented by Greencastle Livestock Market Inc., headlined by Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing, with $10,000-to-win sprint car programs on Friday and Saturday and the $100,000-to-win finale on Sunday. The planned May schedule included a rain date of Monday, May 25, gates opening at 4:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, hot laps at 6:15 p.m. and racing at 7:30 p.m., a noon gate on Sunday, and fan activities such as racing simulators, cow patty bingo, a cornhole tournament, live music and historic sprint car displays. Daily Port Royal Speedway Ministries kids’ gift-bag raffles were also scheduled.

Track officials said they canceled the May dates after working with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing and the Weikert family because forecasts called for heavy rain and unusually low temperatures that made it impractical to stage an event of this magnitude. Officials said they moved quickly to avoid unnecessary expenses for fans, teams and traveling personnel and that safety and financial fairness guided the decision. Fans who purchased reserved seats or camping through MyRacePass will receive automatic refunds. Ticket pricing for the planned May dates had listed general admission for Friday and Saturday at $30, students 13–17 at $20, kids 12 and under free and pit admission $40; Sunday pricing had been reserved $50, general $45, students $20, kids free and pit $55.

Aaron Reutzel extended his Interstate Batteries High Limit division championship lead with a wire-to-wire victory at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania. Driving the Ridge & Sons Racing PowerPlus No. 87 from the pole, Reutzel led all 35 laps and collected the $20,000 winner’s purse. The win raised his series points total to 906 and extended his advantage to 33 points over Rico Abreu, while also moving him seven points clear in the Roto-Rooter Midweek Series standings over Tyler Courtney.

Rico Abreu briefly powered to the front on Lap 28, but a red flag nullified the pass and allowed Reutzel to regain the top spot. Reutzel called it a difficult race, saying, “It was a hard race, I got lucky on that win.” Abreu, in the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing Carquest Auto Parts No. 24, was scored second after the caution. The result marked Abreu’s fifth straight Grandview podium and gave Tony Stewart Racing its seventh consecutive top-10 finish.

The Grandview victory was Reutzel’s fifth High Limit win this season and his seventh overall, and it was his fifth win in the last eight races, a stretch over which he averaged a 1.75 finish and earned $105,000. Chase Dietz finished third for a career-best Grandview result, Kasey Kahne was fourth and Brady Bacon finished fifth. The series’ next marquee event is the $100,000 Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway, scheduled for May 22–24.

Aaron Reutzel won the Driven2SaveLives Bryan Clauson Hero Classic at Kokomo Speedway, driving the No. 87 in the 40-lap, $20,000 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing feature on Saturday night. He led much of the race to record his 11th career victory, his first at Kokomo, and his second straight High Limit Racing win following a triumph the previous weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, Dirt. The result reinforced his status as the High Limit Racing points leader.

The quarter-mile oval race was marked by heavy lap traffic and multiple late cautions that reshuffled the running order. Incidents involving Hank Davis, Tanner Holmes, Logan Seavey, Tyler Courtney and Kerry Madsen factored into restarts and the closing laps on Kokomo’s tight surface.

Justin Peck finished second in the No. 26 after starting fifth, and Rico Abreu was third in the No. 24. Giovanni Scelzi placed fourth in the No. 77 and Joel Myers Jr. was fifth in the No. 19JR. Chase Randall finished sixth, Cale Thomas seventh, Parker Price-Miller eighth, Brady Bacon ninth and Daison Pursley tenth.

Aaron Reutzel won the Drydene Stockyard Stampede powered by RelaDyne 410 sprint car A-Main at the Texas Motor Speedway dirt track, driving the Ridge & Sons Racing No. 87 to victory in the 30-lap feature. Reutzel started on the front row as the pole-sitter alongside Brent Marks. Marks jumped the cushion and spun on the opening lap, bringing out an early caution and a restart that shuffled the field. After the restart Reutzel seized control and led the bulk of the race.

A debris caution with 17 laps remaining bunched the field and prompted several drivers to run the bottom groove. Corey Day, in the Jason Meyers Racing No. 14, mounted a sustained challenge, briefly taking the lead down the backstretch on Lap 27 and closing to within two car lengths in the closing laps. Reutzel worked the bottom line late, split a lapped car with three laps to go and held off Day to secure the victory.

It was Reutzel’s first home-state victory, his third Whiskey Myers Victory Lane of the year and his 10th with Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing, and the win pushed his national-level total to 17. Corey Day finished second and Kerry Madsen in the Vermeer Motorsports No. 55 finished third. Rounding out the top 10 were Tyler Courtney, Hank Davis, Rico Abreu, Kyle Larson, Brenham Crouch, Giovanni Scelzi and Tanner Thorson. Larson also ran a dirt race that day after winning the NASCAR O’Reilly event earlier the same day.

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.

Kerry Madsen won the FK Rod Ends Dash to start on the pole and then led all 30 laps of the A-Main to win the Diamond Classic in the Interstate Batteries High Limit Sprint division at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, Saturday night, holding off Sye Lynch and Tanner Holmes.

Sources differ on his age, one listing him as 55 and another as 54. He is a native of Australia based in Knoxville, Iowa.

The result was reported as Madsen’s first High Limit series win in his 30th start and the first High Limit victory for car owner Tony Vermeer, and it made him the second Australian to win in the series, after James McFadden. One report’s claim that the result was Madsen’s 25th visit to Whiskey Myers Victory Lane in the High Limit series conflicts with the characterization of the Diamond Classic as his first series win; that discrepancy remains unresolved in the available sources.

After the race Madsen moved to sixth in the High Limit standings, 78 points behind leader Tanner Thorson. The series will stop at Eagle Raceway for the Speedway Motors Spring Jackpot on April 21, and the Roto-Rooter Midweek Series will air live on FS1 at 8 p.m. CT.

Jonathan Davenport won The Gauntlet dirt late model feature at Davenport Speedway in Bulls Gap, leading all 60 laps of the 60-lap race. It was Davenport’s seventh win of the season, and promoter Vic Hill had posted a $100,000 bonus that boosted Davenport’s total take for four nights to more than $137,500.

Ricky Thornton Jr. finished second, Mike Marlar third, Cody Overton fourth and Chris Madden fifth. Organizers scheduled a Saturday finale that paid $30,000.

Chris Madden won the Friday-night 50-lap Gauntlet preliminary at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap. Starting from the pole, Madden took the lead on lap 30 after Davenport suffered mechanical issues and fended off a late challenge from Zack Mitchell to earn $20,000. Some reports said Davenport’s Saturday victory “capped a sweep” of the weekend’s high-paying programs, and those accounts conflict with preliminary results showing Madden’s Friday $20,000 win.

Tanner Thorson of Minden, Nevada led every lap at Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo to take a wire-to-wire victory in the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing feature on Friday night. Piloting the Rod Gross Motorsports No. 88, Thorson notched his second win of the season and the fourth High Limit Racing victory of his career — all four coming since September — which returned him to Whiskey Myers Victory Lane and pushed his championship lead to 21 points after the eighth night of the 64-race season.

Aaron Reutzel of Clute, Texas, making his first start at the West Texas oval, closed to within 0.133 seconds on Lap 22 while the leaders navigated heavy lapped traffic and finished second for Ridge & Sons Racing, a team that has logged five podiums in the first eight races.

Justin Peck posted a season-best third, Daison Pursley was fourth in the Kasey Kahne Racing w/ Mike Curb No. 9, and Tanner Holmes recorded a season-best fifth in the Buch Motorsports No. 13. Rounding out the top 10 were Brent Marks, Hank Davis, Sam Hafertepe Jr., Kerry Madsen and Giovanni Scelzi.
