Dominant Courtney Wins In New York

BUSTI, N.Y. — A 12 months in the past this week, Tyler Courtney laid in a hospital mattress in Ohio with critical accidents sustained at Eldora Speedway’s Joker’s Jackpot.

This week, one 12 months later, he’s now a five-time winner in 2026 and re-writing the report books with dominant Excessive Restrict Racing wins.

Clearly a favourite from the start, Courtney’s Friday evening at Stateline Speedway started with a brand new observe report (13.973) in Capitol Renegade Qualifying and an “Ace within the Gap” 4th-to-1st Warmth Race win. Ranging from the surface pole of the A-Predominant, he watched Aaron Reutzel lead the opening lap earlier than deciding it was sport over.

He drove the Clauson-Marshall Racing, NOS Vitality Drink No. 7bc to the purpose on Lap 2 and by no means even considered wanting again. In a continuous 30-lapper, the Indianapolis, Indiana native wired lap site visitors with ease and cruised away to a 6.598-second margin of victory – the most important in collection historical past.

Satirically sufficient, the earlier report of 6.166 seconds was Courtney’s personal, which got here in Clauson-Marshall’s final Excessive Restrict win – which was 52 tries in the past at Lucas Oil Speedway in June 2025. They’re now the tenth crew to achieve Whiskey Myers Victory Lane this season.

Whereas Friday’s rating at Stateline marked Courtney’s first Interstate Batteries Excessive Restrict Racing win of the season (eighth of his profession), it was his fifth general rating. He’s already earned triumphs with the ASCS Nationwide Tour, the World of Outlaws, and at Knoxville Raceway.

Trailing Courtney to the road was Reutzel along with his thirteenth podium effort this season, capping his New York journey with a runner-up following Ransomville’s win. Extra importantly, Ridge & Sons Racing cuts Tony Stewart Racing’s championship benefit all the way down to 32-points.

Justin Peck and Rudeen Racing earned their third-place end to go along with three runner-up outcomes this 12 months with Interstate Batteries Excessive Restrict Racing.
