A simple answer of a phone call from David Reutimann has earned Ethan Dotson a ride in next weekend\u2019s DIRTcar UMP Modified special \u2014 the 11th annual Emil & Dale Reutimann Memorial<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dotson, the 25-year-old breakout Super Late Model talent from Bakersfield, CA, will drive a brand-new Beak Built Chassis \u2014\u00a0the Dirt Modified brand owned and founded by Reutimann \u2014 at the event that honors the Reutimann family, chasing the $10,000 grand prize in the 50-lap main event on Saturday, Nov. 23.<\/p>\n

Despite his new place as a regular of the national Dirt Late Model ranks, Dotson said he couldn\u2019t turn down an opportunity to return to his Modified roots on a track he\u2019s come to know and love.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid reached out a couple of months ago to see if I was interested,\u201d Dotson said of how the agreement came together. \u201cI talked to Steve (Arpin) about it and he was cool, so I thought it would be super cool to race David Reutimann\u2019s car at their family race.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Dirt Modified star won the ninth edition of the marquee event at Volusia Speedway Park in 2022<\/a>. Last year, after setting the fastest lap of all 49 entrants, mechanical failure struck him early, disabling his car on the first lap of his Showdown Feature and forcing him to retire from the event without a single lap of racing logged.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s all behind him now. Dotson\u2019s passion for competition will drive him back to Florida for another shot at the big check and the signature Crystal Tractor trophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a racer, I\u2019ll race anything,\u201d Dotson said. \u201cI love racing, I don\u2019t care what it is. I love Modifieds; they\u2019re the only reason I have a Late Model career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like Volusia in a Modified getting around there, and it\u2019s what I do for a living.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since winning the Reutimann Memorial<\/em> two years ago, Dotson has made a full transition from his Dirt Modified roots in the Upper Midwest to Super Late Models. In May, he joined the South Carolina-based ASD Motorsports team to pilot their flagship car, most notably scoring victories with the DIRTcar-sanctioned Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series and COMP Cams Super Dirt Series.<\/p>\n

Given his strong dirt racing resume and past success at Volusia, Dotson will be coming into the event as one of the favorites. If he can get the job done on Saturday night, he\u2019ll garner Reutimann\u2019s third win in the event \u2014\u00a0first as a car owner \u2014 after he won the race himself in 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cLot of pressure, because I\u2019ve definitely gotta show up and try to get them a win, that\u2019s why they picked me,\u201d Dotson said. \u201cI\u2019m excited, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reutimann has owned and operated Beak Built Chassis for over a decade, and while Dotson has yet to race one, he said he\u2019s full of confidence in the product he\u2019ll have for the weekend. A second win in the event would tie him with Reutimann and Nick Hoffman (2021, 2023) for most as a driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tested a couple weeks ago at [The Dirt Track at Charlotte]; they built a brand-new car and stuff,\u201d Dotson said. \u201cIt went around there, and I think we got a good shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss Dotson take on the field in the 11th annual Emil & Dale Reutimann Memorial<\/em> at Volusia Speedway Park \u2014 Thursday\u2013Saturday, Nov. 21\u201323. Tickets are on sale now at VolusiaSpeedwayPark.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
