FORT WORTH, TEX. — Due to injuries sustained in Lakeside Speedway’s Heartland of America Showdown on Saturday, October 10, Ridge & Sons Racing’s Aaron Reutzel will forgo the High Limit Racing All-In Championship Weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, and instead, utilize a Medical Provisional. The decision follows Reutzel’s visit with medical professionals on Monday; he was not cleared for competition.
“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,” Ryan Wyant, Ridge & Sons Racing Team Manager, stated. “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.”
The team utilize Medical Provisionals set forth by the Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing rulebook. The rule reads as follows:
"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."
By rule, the Medical Provisional will grant Ridge & Sons Racing 94-points across the weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. This is due to a rounded 8.18 average finish plus five positions (13th), awarding the team 47-points per night.
