Inside Line Promotions – JACKSON, Minn. (July 25, 2024) – Aaron Reutzel and Lee Goos Jr. charged to victories on Thursday evening at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted The Livewire Printing Company 360 Shootout presented by Tweeter Contracting.

Reutzel powered from the fourth starting position into the lead on the opening lap and never looked back during the 25-lap Gunderson Racing Inc. Midwest Sprint Touring Series/Midwest Power Series 360 Sprint Cars Wieskus Memorial. Cautions on Lap 7 and Lap 12 bunched the field together, but Reutzel was strong on the restarts as well as navigating through traffic to win by 3.357 seconds.

“The track was phenomenal,” he said. “Hats off to the track crew there. It was a good crowd tonight. It’s an awesome night.

“It’s awesome to win memorial races; to honor someone, it’s great. It’s a big deal when you’re name’s on a memorial race.”

Cameron Martin earned a second-place result, which is his career-best outing at Jackson Motorplex.

“We’ve always been really fast here and it’s finally good to put a full night together,” he said.

Kaleb Johnson rounded out the podium.

“I’m happy with it,” he said. “A third-place run is very good for our team, especially starting seventh. I’m proud of this team. It’s a big memorial race tomorrow night and I’m looking forward to it.”

Chase Randall finished fourth and Tanner Holmes was fifth.

Reutzel set quick time during qualifying before Matt Juhl, Martin and Chris Martin posted heat race wins.

Goos Jr. put on a show during the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing main event as he rallied from 16th to score the impressive triumph.

Johnny Sullivan paced the field for the first dozen laps. Meanwhile, Goos Jr. climbed into seventh by the first caution of the race on Lap 3. He took over the runner-up position following a restart on Lap 10 before he made the race-winning pass on the bottom exiting turn two on Lap 13. Goos Jr. pulled away to win by 2.159 seconds.

“I think I just got a little bit lucky,” he said. “Those starts were great for me. Nine cars in two laps, that’s what really helped. I figured we’d be lucky to crack the top 10.”

Sullivan finished second with Koby Werkmeister placing third. Jeremy Kerzman was fourth and Joe Miller ended fifth.

Brandon Allen, Bill Johnson, Werkmeister, Matt Johnson and Miller were the heat race winners. Goos Jr. and Dylan Waxdahl posted B Main victories.
