Tyler Courtney won the $25,000 finale at Lucas Oil Speedway Saturday (Vieo Highlights from FloRacing.com)
22 races later, Tyler Courtney returned to Whiskey Myers Victory Lane with Kubota High Limit Racing, and he saved it for a big $25,000 payday in Lucas Oil Speedway's Diamond Classic.
After 11 top-five finishes and four runner-up results, "Sunshine" finally found his way back atop the charts in Saturday's 35-lap finale - coming out on top of a hectic five-way war for the lead through lap traffic.
It was Aaron Reutzel, Tanner Thorson, Tyler Courtney, Brad Sweet, and Rico Abreu, all five battling under a blanket as they bobbed and weaved through back markers.
Officially, Reutzel controlled the opening 14 laps, Tanner Thorson led the next three circuits, and then Tyler Courtney held the point for the final 18 laps. At the checkered flag, it was a monumental 6.166-second margin of victory, but that's not indicative of how thrilling the race was near the mid-point.
The win marked the seventh of Courtney's career with Kubota High Limit Racing and keeps the Clauson-Marshall Racing, NOS Energy Drinks No. 7BC as one of the five title contenders amid an incredible points battle.
Aaron Reutzel wound up with a $10,000 runner-up score on Saturday, meaning that his Ridge & Sons Racing, PowerPlus No. 87 now has sole possession of the championship lead with Kubota High Limit Racing.
Rico Abreu rounded out the podium to keep his No. 24 in championship contention as well.
Closing out the top-10 at Lucas Oil was Tanner Thorson, Brad Sweet, Brent Marks, Sye Lynch, Daison Pursley, Justin Peck, and Kasey Kahne.
