But what 23 races were those? I'm guessing mostly the big $ shows like Knoxville, vs an Outlaw show in the middle of nowhere with barely enough cars to make an A-Main. Bigger shows - more cars - tougher show to make is my point.

Wonder what his average finish in All Star races was? (yes, I know there were more than 23 All Star races he ran in).

Yes but for those 23 races he was ready and prepared to race with the Outlaws because he picked and chose those events. 

Following the entire tour is MUCH harder than picking and choosing and only going to the races you're 100% prepared for. 

This year hed probably be 5th or 6th in points depending on how fast Pittman is and how consistent Logan is. No chance in hell of beating Schatz, Sweet or Gravel (if full time)

Pretty sure Knoxville doesn't count in WOO points. 

He raced the entire All Star tour around those 23 races though. Not like the car sat in the shop other than those 23 outlaw shows.

Click on his name in my grid takes you to his results, change it to 2019, and any race listed with 'WoO' are the 23 races.

Reutzel's biggest flaw is overdriving into turns. When he's on, he's on, but so many times especially against higher competition, he's gonna costs himself spots.

I dont think theres a chance he'd beat Logan this year either. I think Logan might be right up there with Sweet and Schatz at the end of the year. I think if Gravel were running fulltime hed also be ahead of Reutzel. I think Reutzel would contend for 5th in drivers points. He'd probably be able to edge out Pittman, Macedo, and Haud. Definitely would expect him to win more races than those 3 guys.

No doubt in my mind that he's better than Macedo. Haud is a wildcard to me , and pittman iy seems like a snake in the grass(dont mean that in a bad way) just that he is very consistent and always toward the front. i just feel like you dont here a lot about him 

I have had this idea since Swindell came out with his bleeders. The biggest problem that we see with tires is you set you bleeder to a certain poundage, I typically set mine about 1/2 pound higher than my tire pressure is set at. So on the RR I will set the bleeder at 8.5 lbs. well if you have a long green flag run and build up a lot of heat, you will release a lot of air. Now you have a red flag and your tire cools, the air that is left inside the tire contracts as it cools and now by the time you go green you could have as little as 5.5 lbs of air in the RR tire. I have always wondered if there is a way to put a small electric air compressor inside those bleeders so as your tire deflates to a certain point, that you can set, it kicks that on and helps to fill the tire back up. Not sure if this is something that Jeff has thought about or not, but I am assuming he has, and there is probably good reason that this hasn't been done yet. One I can think of is the small size the compressor would need to be would take a lot to add air to the high volume tires. Or who knows, maybe he is working on it. I think that would be pretty slick! 

Agree on all points. Although I am curious to see what Macedo does in year 2. He was quiet but fast in Volusia. 1 of 6 drivers with 3 top 10 finishes. The other 5? Donny, Sweet, Logan, Pittman, and Reutzel. Haud right on the edge as well with 2 top 10s and an 11th place finish. I hate that we have to wait another month to see the Outlaws race again. They should be racing at Bubba this weekend and East Bay the next.

Off the top of my head I would say all of the Eldora races (6) I believe Lawrenceburg, Volusia, Williams Grove races, Port, World Finals, and a few shows at the beginning of the year. I think they gave his avg all star finish prior to him going on a late season run and it stood out in a wierd way because I think Blaney was right there with him. Aaron had a lot of DNF's last year as until August it seemed like he won or DNF. Blaney was consistent top 5 the whole year.

If Aaron were to run the whole Outlaw tour now I would say he would get some wins and finish around 6th. Sweet & Schatz are on a whole different level than anyone and are the top 2. Logan and Gravel are right there but just need a touch more consistentcy but I see them gaining that this year especially Logan. I think they said if the season started in May then Gravel would have won the title so it seemed after that team go familar with each other things took off. That leaves Pittman and I can see Aaron contending with him but Daryn is just so consistent. I put Aaron right with Carson just slightly above. Both have great futures and if given time I think they will be future champions and win a lot of races. They just need some time to develop and I believe Reutzel has said he did not want to hit the Outlaw trail until his child reaches a certain age.
