Reutzel will never be a fan favorite or even a fan tolerable, but he can drive with the best of them.
 
Starting to think I need to be a Reutzel fan solely because I know it'll piss off everyone else at the track to rock his s#it. I can't help but look to the most hated person out there, especially if they're winning.
 
He doesn't bother me, never has...so far anyway. The race wasn't that great IMO and that is all I care about.

Port Royal is best when the most daring guys can really rip the top, and the top went away unfortunately.

I also think the hate for him is kinda funny. I don't like him, but I don't think he's worse than a lot of others. He spices up the High Limit roster.
 
I was kind of on board with him until he got into one with Danny Dietrich (I know pick the less controversial guy) but just rubbed me the wrong way a lot.
 
Peck wins over Reutzel and Sweet. Sweet took the lead briefly with a few to go but played nice, and Peck got it back.
 
Sweet was disqualified for not going to the scales. That's what Tony LaPorta just said while doing interviews. That's interesting.

Reigning Kubota High Limit Racing champion and current series leader Brad Sweet was disqualified after Saturday's event at Michigan's Butler Motor Speedway for not reporting to the scales following the 30-lap feature.

The third-starting Sweet, who crossed the finish line in third but bypassed the post-race scales for an apparent flat right-rear tire, will be credited with a 25th-place finish after Saturday's disqualification.

Justin Peck won Saturday's feature at Butler over Aaron Reutzel and Rico Abreu, who crossed the finish line fourth but will now be scored third following Sweet's DQ.

The #49 of Brad Sweet, who crossed the line in 3rd, has been disqualified for pulling off and not reporting to the scales.

If Jeremy Elliott's reporting is accurate, and there is no reason to think it is not, the series is the one who screwed this up badly. The white flag was thrown on what was scored as the final lap, lap 30. Sweet was third at this time. The checkered flag was thrown a lap later on the 31st lap that didn't actually count. By then Sweet had a flat right rear and had lost several positions. Only the podium finishers are to report to the scales.

Once the flagging error was made, any other way the series handled it would have gone over poorly. If an accommodation was made for Sweet, the conspiracy theorists would have gone wild. If anyone other than Sweet or Larson had been DQed in the same circumstances, many would be rightly enraged that the DQed driver got screwed by a scoring / flagging error.
 
I don't consider Marks a serious title threat at present, but this has created quite an opportunity for a real battle down the stretch of the season between Sweet, Courtney, Abreu, and Reutzel. I could see any of them winning given how tight it now is.
 
Peck is flying and made the rest of them look silly in that heat.
 
Bummer for Peck. I guess they always run best right before they go up in smoke.
 
It's great to see someone be able to hang with Larson. I believe that's twice in a row now that Rico has passed him and beat him.
