Reutzel's Big 2024 Season Leads To "Best of the Midwest" Honor For Winged Sprint Cars

2024 was a big year for Texas native Aaron Reutzel who not only became the second driver in 57 years to win the All Iowa Points in two divisions in the same year, but he was also successful when he left his Knoxville base and the result was a dominating points total when we pooled all fourteen of the states that we track together. Reutzel and his Ridge and Sons Racing Team will hit the road in 2025 chasing the High Limit series.

World of Outlaws series runner-up Carson Macedo is the runner-up thirty-nine points behind Reutzel while Sam Hafertepe Jr. had a strong showing in third. 

Only Tyler Drueke has topped this list more than once over the nine years that we have been doing this with Reutzel adding his name to the list of Ian Madsen, Bill Balog, Paul Nienhiser, Kyle Larson, Marcus Thomas, Tyler Serbus and Drueke.
