Zeb Wise Scores Fourth All Star Sprints Win Of Season At 34 Raceway
Zeb Wise got around Austin McCarl in traffic late and held off a hard charge from Aaron Reutzel to win the All Star Circuit of Champions race at 34 Raceway.
It was a pure case of redemption Friday night at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, as Rudeen Racing’s Zeb Wise, who finished 19th in Lernerville Speedway’s annual Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup on Tuesday evening after utilizing a Series provisional, rebounded big and cashed in for a $7,000 payday, jumping on Austin McCarl’s late race misfortune to secure his fourth Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 victory of the season.
Wise, now an eight-time main event winner with “America's Series,” earned the lead for the second and final time on lap 27, driving by McCarl when the Altoona, Iowa, native slipped off the surface while leading.
Three-time All Star champion and Clute, Texas, native, Aaron Reutzel, would also slip by McCarl in the closing circuits to secure second, followed by McCarl, Australian Jamie Veal, and Roth Motorsports’ Buddy Kofoid.
As noted, Wise led on two different occasions in 34 Raceway’s 30-lap contest, driving by McCarl the first time on lap 19 before “The Big Unit” returned the favor with a slider the following circuit. McCarl’s position at the top of the running order did not occur until lap six, sneaking by early race leader, Jamie Veal, around the bottom of the speedway.

Winning Quote From Zeb Wise
“We needed that one, hats off to everyone here at 34 Raceway. We had that long delay, but the track held up great. And even with it getting abrasive at the end, I thought it raced really well. Our car was just really good tonight and hats off to everyone on this team. We didn’t have too great of a night Tuesday at Lernerville, so to get this Midwest swing going with a win is really special.”
