While running second in Friday night's 30-lap feature, Reutzel flipped at the entrance to turn one before getting hit by both Zach Hampton and Steven Snyder Jr. 

Reutzel was able to exit the car quickly under his own power before going to the ground and receiving assistance from the Eldora Speedway safety crew. He was then transported to a local hospital for evaluation. 

In the statement, Ridge & Sons Racing indicated that the team will provide further updates Reutzel and the team's future plans as they become available. 

Reutzel currently sits third in the Kubota High Limit Racing point standings with five wins on the season, including one of two Double Down Duels on Wednesday night. Earlier this year, Reutzel claimed the richest victory of his career during the $100,000-to-win Bob Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway.
