Aaron Reutzel to miss High Limit Racing finale due to injury

Aaron Reutzel will not race at The Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track after the crash at Lakeside Speedway

This weekend, High Limit Racing is rolling into the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. The event will be the final two nights of racing for the 2026 season.

Last weekend, championship contender Aaron Reutzel was injured in a crash at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City. He will not race this weekend due to injury.

However, he will be granted a medical provisional. 94-points will be gifted to Reutzel for the upcoming weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.

That is calculated by a rolling 8.18 average finish plus five positions (13th). That will see his earnings for the remaining two nights of racing at 47-points per night.

Ridge & Sons Racing comments

“Aaron’s health is our number one priority, and since he is unable to compete in the High Limit Racing season finale, our season at Ridge & Sons Racing is complete,” stated Ryan Wyant the manager of Ridge & Sons Racing.

“It was a great year and we have much to be proud of. But for now, our focus is on Aaron and giving him the support that he needs. We’ll see everyone in 2027.”

Medical provisional rules

Here’s what the rulebook says regarding medical provisionals:

“Medical provisionals will be granted to a driver that has an accident with injuries needing some extra days to heal. These provisionals will be granted in a 10-day period and that driver and/or car will receive points for their average finishing position plus five spots. The driver must have gone to a reputable doctor in the 10-day period approved by High Limit officials. If the owner would like to race with a different driver during this time, they can, but will not receive the guaranteed points. The owner will receive points for their finishing position on that night. After 10 days, the driver may be granted one extension if needed and approved by High Limit officials. The first two weeks will not be eligible for Medical Provisionals in 2026. After those weekends, an average finishing position can be calculated. The two weekends will apply to new teams in following years. Returning cars will receive their average finish from the year prior if needed in the first two weekends.”
