Is There Some Sort of Beef Between Ryan Timms and Aaron Reutzel?
Hello everyone!
I know neither of these drivers belong to WoO, but as sprint car fans I imagine you all are just like me and like all forms of sprint car racing and not restrained to just one series.
Being from Oklahoma I've been a big fan of Ryan Timm's since the days he was racing at I44. Unlike a lot of drivers, Timms is very low key, very calm, just a nice guy. For this reason, I've noticed a couple times Timms has hinted at some sort of tension between himself and Aaron Reutzel (who I also really like.)
A couple months ago during a High Limit show when Timms made an appearance, Timms was in the dash and spinning the wheel. Tony Laporta was asking drivers something like "Who on the High Limit tour is your favorite driver?" I believe Reutzel went right before Timms, so when Timms was asked the question Timms chuckled and said "Definitely not Reutzel." Timms said this in a manner that would be obvious to people "in the know." This caught my attention as I immediately thought this was odd and a bit rude and out of character for Timms.
Fast forward to 360 nationals, at one point Timms was explaining a race in which Reutzel was right on his tail, and Timms again chuckled and said "I'm glad I block that guy!" again referencing Reutzel and some sort of tension between them.
I can't for the life of me find when Timms and Reutzel had some sort of beef that would bother Timms enough he would mention it during interviews. On the other hand, Reutzel has said nothing in regards to Timms or some for of discontent with him.
Does anybody out there have any inside information or know what is going on between Ryan Timms and Aaron Reutzel?
