It was late November at the Knoxville Raceway banquet when Aaron Reutzel confirmed the rumors: he’s going full-time with Kubota High Limit Racing in 2025 aboard the Ridge & Sons Racing #87. Immediately, a new contender had emerged.

The 34-year-old native of Clute, Texas has already built a stellar resume with more than 100+ career wins and multiple national championships to his credit. After his 2015 ASCS National Tour championship, Reutzel moved up to the 410 ranks and continued to shine with three consecutive titles with the All Star Circuit of Champions from 2018-20. Now, Kubota High Limit Racing is next on his radar.

Driving for car owners Brian and Lisa Ridge since late 2021, A-Aron has part Knoxville local and part true outlaw for the better part of the last three-plus seasons and it’s been a wildly successful chapter of his career. They’ve won 50 races together including major events like the Knoxville 360 Nationals and Commonwealth Clash and shows sanctioned by High Limit and the World of Outlaws.

There’s a list of teams who shouldn’t surprise you if they won the High Limit championship in 2025, and Aaron Reutzel’s #87 belongs on that list.

While the likes of Brad Sweet, Tyler Courtney, Rico Abreu, and Brent Marks, among five other returning High Rollers, have a slight leg up with a full season of Kubota High Limit Racing under their belts, don’t expect a slow start from Reutzel.

Interesting enough, of the 14 High Rollers, it’s none of last year’s cast who has won at the most tracks on the 2025 Kubota High Limit Racing schedule – it’s Aaron Reutzel. He owns victories at 16 of the 35 tracks we’ll visit ranging from Tulare, Perris, Vado, Texas, 81, Lakeside, Fremont, Ransomville, Utica-Rome, Grandview, Port Royal, Lake Ozark, Lucas Oil, Eldora, Lernerville, and Skagit.

In fact, the Texan has already gotten off to a hot start in 2025 when he made his season debut with the World of Outlaws at Volusia last week. The #87 timed in second-quick both nights and finished 2nd & 6th, respectively, with two totally different cars and setup packages.

Out of those 35 tracks on the schedule, Reutzel will visit nine for the first time in his career including Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway (CA) on March 21, Central Arizona Raceway (AZ) on March 28-29, Dodge City Raceway Park (KS) on April 5, Butler Motor Speedway (MI) on May 31, 141 Speedway (WI) on June 3, Red Cedar Speedway (WI) on June 4, Florence Speedway (KY) on July 11-12, Douglas County Dirtrack (OR) on August 25, and Path Valley Speedway Park (PA) on September 28.

As far as the Ridge & Sons Racing team goes, the move to bring Aaron Reutzel on the road full-time could potentially secure a High Stakes Charter for them at seasons end. Last year, they finished 10th in the championship standings with Cory Eliason, putting themselves in position to clinch a charter in 2025.

Reutzel’s 2025 campaign with Kubota High Limit Racing will begin at Las Vegas Motor Speedway next week on Thursday, March 13 before a $25,000-to-win event on Saturday, March 15. The 60-race tour will conclude with All-In Championship Weekend at Texas Motor Speedway on October 17 and 18.
