New Headline: "Thrill-seekers Dive Into Hell's Highway: Vegas Sets Record-Breaking 'Death Ride'!
The 2026 Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing season opened March 12-14 at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, kicking off the series third full-time national campaign. Saturday's 30-lap feature was the final night of the three-race SugarBee Blackjack Dash at the Las Vegas dirt oval to start the 62-race schedule, with every race streamed live on FloRacing. Surviving a late-race push from Tanner Thorson, pole-starting Aaron Reutzel paced all 30 circuits of Saturday's weekend finale in Las Vegas to capture the $21,021 payday, his first victory of the 2026 season.
Thorson had pulled in front of Reutzel with three laps remaining by virtue of a slider entering turn three, but the lap didn't count because a caution ensued moments later. Corey Day dropped out of the race running second with five laps to go when his left-rear tire came loose. Justin Peck was the night's hard charger, advancing 16 spots from 23rd to seventh.
