RANSOMVILLE, N.Y. — Justin Peck has experienced all of the emotions this week with Kubota High Limit Racing; suffering the agony of defeat at Kokomo Speedway and the thrill of victory at Ransomville Speedway.
On Monday, he led 39 laps in the Driven2SaveLives Monday MAYhem, but lost the race by 0.101 seconds at the checkered flag in devastating fashion. He bounced back on Friday as the series traveled to New York and scored his first Kubota High Limit Racing victory since joining Rudeen Racing.
The Monrovia, Indiana, native came from the outside of row two and trailed early leaders Tyler Courtney and Rico Abreu. The Ford Performance No. 26 came to life as lap traffic came into play, going by Abreu for second on Lap 13 and promptly passing Courtney for the lead on Lap 15.
Peck survived the one and only restart of the race on Lap 21 of 30, mostly enjoying clean air before back markers during the final two circuits created an eerily-similar situation to Monday as Reutzel and Courtney closed quickly. However, unlike last time, the No. 26 was not to be denied and Peck held on for his third-career trip to victory lane.
After a pair of wins with Buch Motorsports in 2023 at Kokomo Speedway and 2024 at Eldora Speedway, Peck has now delivered the first Kubota High Limit Racing win for Rudeen Racing at Ransomville Speedway.
Making a last-lap move, Tyler Courtney put his Clauson-Marshall Racing, NOS Energy Drink No. 7bc into the runner-up position – making it consecutive finishes of second, fourth, fourth and second in the last week. Courtney is now only 29 points out of the championship lead with Kubota High Limit Racing.
Aaron Reutzel found his way back on the podium, slipping to third on the final lap aboard his Ridge & Sons Racing No. 87.
