Trever Feathers Excited To Make the Old, New Again

Team Welcomes Industry Leading Hot Rod Septic Treatment as Key Partner

Winchester, VA – March 4, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Trever Feathers is excited to make the old, new again after reuniting with Larry Royston Racing and Barry Wright Race Cars, a chassis he drove to numerous wins in the first few years of his career.

Solid Equipment

Feathers is coming off a season in which he accumulated 7 wins, 4 of them in the super late model division wheeling a couple different chassis brands.  It was certainly not a shabby season statistically, but entering the 2023 season in the seat of a Barry Wright Race Car has the Winchester, VA native’s confidence high and aiming for even more.

“We just couldn’t get longevity out of our cars the last couple years, so Larry went back to what we know.  Barry’s cars are built well.  You won’t find a better built car.  They have great speed when they are right and they don’t drop off after a handful of races.”, Feathers shared.

“I know this car better than any other brand, so hopefully that translates to wins.  We will have a Bloomquist car in the shop as our backup.  They are great cars too.  A very similar story actually in terms of durability and quality.“

It Takes Everyone

Larry Royston Racing and Trever Feathers are especially excited to welcome new partner Hot Rod Septic Treatment to the team.  The company is an industry leader in septic treatment technology for homes and RVs, plus they are great supporters of the sport of racing.  

Clem’s Garage has also joined the Royston/Feathers team this season.  Clem’s is a family owned shop in Stephens City, VA that has been around for over 75 years.  They offer all types of auto repair and towing.

“A long time supporter of mine, North River Farms, has rejoined the team for the 2023 season as well.  I want to give them a shout out and thank them for coming back on board.“, Feathers said.

“It takes everybody.  To run a team like this, it takes a lot of resources.  We are thankful for every one of the businesses, large and small, who have put their support behind us.  We will represent and promote them to the absolute best of our ability to make sure the partnership is a win for them too.“

 

2023 Plans

A portion of Feather’s schedule in 2023 will resemble recent seasons, with regular stops at Port Royal Speedway (PA), Winchester Speedway (VA) and Hagerstown Speedway (MD).

The remainder of the schedule will likely be a mix of visits to other areas.  The team is looking at opportunities to pick up a race at Lincoln Speedway (PA), a Lucas Oil Late Model event at Georgetown Speedway (DE), and two-race weekends in Tennessee.

From the team’s home base in Winchester, VA, travel expenses to Pennsylvania and Tennessee are nearly identical, so the team will keep an eye out for weekends when it makes sense to travel south for two races instead of heading north for a single race.

“We are going to race smart and make decisions as we go based on our equipment and, to be honest, where we have the best chance of making money.  We have to make our budget go as far as we can.”, Feathers shared.

Royston and Feathers are currently planning to race the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek, an early-June series that will consist of eight races spanning ten days across Central Pennsylvania and into Maryland.  The series will stop at Clinton County, Port Royal, Hagerstown, Path Valley, Beford (2 shows), Lincoln and Selinsgrove speedways.

“We are actively working to bring in another partner to help us expand that schedule, but as things stand we are probably going to end up running about 25-30 races, similar to the past couple years.   We can run 40 or more with a little help.  We can bring a lot of visibility and promotion for our partners through broadcast races and our PR folks, so hopefully we can find that relationship that is a win-win for both us and them.“, Feathers added.

 

Goals

Feather’s goal for the season is not shaped around wins or any other statistics.  His first goal is to establish a baseline setup that carries from track to track.

“If we can find a setup that I know I can pull into any track, unload and adjust from there, that is the foundation for success.  If we can get there, then I know we can be competitive and race for wins anywhere.“, Feathers explained.

The Winchester, VA native says other goals will be centered around what they need to learn or achieve to reach goal number one.  Those objectives will likely change week to week, but they will take it one race at a time.

As for a long term goal, that one is clear.  Feathers would like to grow their program to be capable of touring on a national level.  

“The long term goal may take a year or two, but to get there we need to focus on how we perform now and work on bringing in the additional partner(s) to get us there.”, Feathers said.

 

Thank You

“I want to thank Larry (Royston) for everything he has done and for this opportunity.  His businesses, Larry Royston Septic Service and Martins Pumping Service, along with Larry Royston Properties and Larry Royston Equipment are key partners for our team.”, Feathers said.

Along with the newcomers Hot Rod Septic Treatment and Clem’s Garage, Feathers also has a number of other key members of the team back again for 2023.

“Leggett Engine Research is supplying our power once again this year.  They give us the best, most reliable powerplant we could ask for every year.”, Feathers commented.

“My Uncle Jimmy and McFarland Custom Painting and Wallcoverings has been with me since the start.  Huge thanks to him.  And of course I need to thank my dad, Bo Feathers, for everything he does for me.  I couldn’t do this without him.  All our partners, like  Feathers & Sons Roofing, Coffelt Graphics and Billstein Shocks are important to us and we appreciate them tremendously.

“I want to give a shout out to Jonathan Dehaven.  He has been a huge help with getting the parts we need“, Feathers concluded.

 

Up Next

The 2023 season will kick off for Royston and Feathers at ‘The Speed Palace’ on Sunday, March 5th.  The Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Larry Royston’s Septic Services, Martins Pumping Service, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, Clem’s Garage, Leggett Engine Research, Feathers & Sons Roofing, Coffelt Graphics, Larry Royston Properties, Larry Royston Equipment, Bilstein Shocks, Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, Bo Feathers Racing, Barry Wright Race Cars, No.20 is ready and waiting to go fast and get dirty.

Reinhardt Will Focus On Making the Most of His Resources

After Finishing 2022 With Momentum, the Team Is Aiming To Pick up Where They Left Off

New Oxford, PA – March 3, 2023

From the seats in the grandstand, it may appear like business as usual for Kyle Reinhardt when he kicks off his 2023 season with the familiar No.91 bearing the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches logo on the side, but things will be a little different than the past couple seasons.

The loss of a key partner meant a lot of unplanned activity for Reinhardt during the offseason.  With fewer overall resources, he will focus on making the most of what he has by planning his schedule strategically as the 2023 season unfolds.

Keep Digging

Reinhardt is prepared to compete at a high level.  He has spent a lot of time preparing his equipment, but he has also spent a lot of time making calls and sending emails, looking for new partnerships to help build his program.

“I would like to race 100 nights this season, but right now our resources and funding won’t support that.  We have to make smart decisions about when and where it make sense for us to race to give us the best chance to make money.  That’s the honest answer.“, Reinhardt shared.

“I am working hard to find partnerships that will allow us to expand our schedule.  We have a program that can represent and promote a business to really increase their visibility.  Working together can be a win-win for both our team and the right business.  We will keep working and eventually find that partner.“

 

Performance

Reinhardt made changes to his program late in the 2022 season after struggling most of the year.  Those adjustments led to the most consistent and best performances of the season.

Reinhardt believes the team can pick up where it left off despite everything else that has happened.

“We will start the year on the same car and shock package we were running at the end of 2022.  We were running well on that combination, so we will have that to build on.“, Reinhardt shared.

“We aren’t far from where we need to be.  I have got three good engines in the stable and two complete cars, plus one extra Maxim chassis.  We are just looking for that additional help to put us to the next level.“

 

The Plans

Reinhardt will kick off his 2023 campaign this weekend with stops at Lincoln Speedway (PA) on Saturday and Port Royal Speedway (PA) on Sunday in the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Henry’s Wrecker No.91.

This season provides a unique opportunity to compete at four World of Outlaws (WoO) sprint car races, dubbed the Spring Showdown, in Pennsylvania in the month of March.  Reinhardt plans to hit them all.

The traveling series will conduct a two-day show at Port Royal Speedway on March 10th-11th, followed by stops at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway on March 17th and 18th respectively.

Reinhardt also plans to enter competition at BAPS Motor Speedway on March 26th at the March Sprint Madness.

“We have a plan for the month of March, but we will have a very loose schedule this year.  We will reevaluate our plans every couple weeks and adjust our schedule as we go.  We have to do what makes the most sense for us each week.”

Along with a steady diet of Central Pennsylvania racing, Reinhardt plans to travel some for World of Outlaw, All Star and High Limit series events when possible.

Steady Support

Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches has emblazoned the side of Reinhardt’s chariot for the past 6 seasons and they will remain a key partner in 2023.

“I can’t thank Wayne, Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches and Capitol Renegade enough for everything they do for me.  They sell the best products in their industry and their customer service is top notch.  We are out here working hard to represent them well.“, Reinhardt said.

Another steadfast partner has been Henry’s Wrecker Service, who has locations across Virginia and Maryland.  Henry’s has the largest fleet of light-duty and heavy-duty towing trucks in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland. They provide roadside assistance, parking management, large wrecker, and concierge services.

Berry Has the Tools To Be a Consistent Contender

Primary Partner The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg Returns for 2023 Season; Juniata Veterinary Clinic Joins Team

Mifflin, PA – March 3, 2023

Austin Berry’s super late model program has been on a steady trend in the right direction the last couple years.  It is the result of working hard to build a program the right way, on a solid foundation of knowledge and support.

Berry and his team may have worked harder this offseason than any recent stretch of time.  They continued to build depth in their equipment, parts and support.

All of this combined will keep Berry at the track without the concern of missing races due to failures.  More racing means more opportunity to learn and thus hopefully continued improvement.

 

Welcome Back

A key piece of the puzzle is primary partner The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg, who returns for their second full season in support of Austin Berry Racing.

The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg is a family-owned, full-service automotive business that has been serving a loyal customer base for over 54 years. From the beginning, The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg has been a family-run business built on the values of honesty and trust. Today, with a tremendous reputation, those values remain, and they continue providing automotive service with a local business touch that is hard to find these days.

“Greg and all the folks at The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg are just fantastic people.  As soon as we got to know each other, we realized we were the same kind of people and we run our operations the same way.  They work hard and they are honest and trustworthy.  If you are looking for a place to take your car, you can’t find a better group of folks to depend on.”, Berry said.

Also returning are partners Berry’s Siding & Seamless Gutter, Locust Hill Custom Butcher Shop, Nathan Berry Beef Farm and Addicted2DirtPR.com.  

“These local businesses run by family and friends have been with me through it all.  I can only ask fans to support them by patronizing them and thanking them for what they do for racing.”, Berry said.

The team has also continued their product partnerships with Kevin Nouse Designs/KND Safety, DMI Bulldog Rears, Swift Springs and DirtCarLift.

 

New Partners

The team’s efforts on the track last season, combined with their efforts off the track over the winter, have led to several new partnerships and relationships.

Austin Berry Racing would like to welcome Juniata Veterinary Clinic to the team!  The Juniata Veterinary Clinic has been delivering exceptional veterinary care to the animals of Juniata and Mifflin Counties for over 30 years. Their 3-doctor team treats animals of all types and ages, providing a full range of services to ensure that the animals in their community can get all the care they need and deserve.

“It means a lot to have a local business in your own back yard want to be a part of what you’re doing.  I am thrilled to have Michaela and Juniata Veterinary Clinic on board.“, Berry said.

In addition, the team previously announced new partnerships with SRI Performance, VP Race Fuels and GO Lithium.  Each of these key partners has brought knowledge, great products and tremendous support to the team. 

“I know it sounds like I’m just saying what I’m supposed to say, but I truly mean this.  The folks at SRI Performance, VP Race Fuels and GO Lithium are great people to work with.  They have provided service to us above the level I expected.  There is a reason they are successful companies.  You don’t get there by not being a good partner to your customers.”, Berry commented.

The team’s growth didn’t stop there.  They have established several new product partner relationships, including Valvoline Pro-V Racing, Super Clean, Peterson Fluid Systems, Barnes Systems, Quick Car, Sweet Manufacturing, BDR Racing Products, Beyea Headers, Strange Oval, Quarter Master and P3 Graphix.

 

The Bread and Butter

The foundation of Austin Berry Racing’s on-track program remains unchanged from the past two seasons.  They will continue competing in their Rocket Chassis XR1 on JDS Racing/Penske Racing Shocks with A&C Racing Engines power under the hood.

The good news going into the 2023 season is the team will kick things off with both motors fresh and ready.

 

New Destinations

Berry and his team are targeting around 40 races on their tentative schedule if all were to go well, but how many races they can actually take on will depend on how the season unfolds.  

Port Royal Speedway in Pennsylvania will be the team’s primary home with 19 races scheduled there from early March through early September.

The team will also make stops at familiar tracks Hagerstown and Bedford for big events like the Billy Winn Classic, the Turk Burkett Tribute, the Frank Sagi Tribute, the Gary Martz Memorial, the Nathan Durboraw Tribute and some Lucas Oil Late Model events.

New on this year’s schedule, the team is aiming to venture to Georgetown (DE) and Marion Center (PA) for Lucas Oil and World of Outlaw events.  They are also tentatively looking at traveling to Western Pennsylvania for a pair of Lucas Oil Late Model events at Lernerville Speedway (Firecracker 100) and Pittsburgh’s PA Motor Speedway (Pittsburgher 100).

The part of the schedule the team may be looking forward to the most is the Appalachian Mountain Speedweek for super late models.  The series will consist of 8 races spanning 10 days across Central Pennsylvania and into Maryland.  The series will stop at Clinton County, Port Royal, Hagerstown, Path Valley, Beford (2 shows), Lincoln and Selinsgrove speedways.

 

Racing For Time Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Campaign

Five years ago, on the 10th anniversary of the loss of his grandfather to pancreatic cancer, Austin Berry decided to dedicate the 2018 season to his late grandfather by racing a purple car and working all season long to raise money for and awareness of the dreadful disease that has only a 9% survival rate, far lower than most other forms of cancer.

Berry committed to honor his late grandfather every five seasons in the same way.  It is now 2023 and it is time to break out the purple once again.  Throughout the season fans will be able to enter to win some unique items, such as Berry’s driving gloves, a tail banner, and body panels from the car.  There will also be apparel available and decals, which fans can sign in memory of a loved one and then place on the deck of Berry’s No.86 where it will ride all season long.  All of these fun opportunities will raise money for PanCan.org.

“This campaign means a lot to me, my mom and my entire family.  My grandfather was a big part of my start in racing, so it gives us a way to honor him, but it also allows us to help spread the word about warning signs of pancreatic cancer and maybe help someone recognize the signs before it is too late.“, Berry shared.

“Unfortunately, we know too many people who have been affected by pancreatic cancer.  We share an unfortunate experience, so when they find out what we are doing, they want to help however they can.”

The name of the campaign, ‘Racing For Time’, stems from the fact that most cases of pancreatic cancer are not discovered until they reach stage 4, leading to a mere 9% five-year survival rate.  There is no blood test that can detect the disease.  It goes undiscovered until it has advanced enough to cause noticeable symptoms.  Therefore, patients have little time.  Berry hopes increasing awareness and raising funds for research will lead to patients having more time, thus he is ‘Racing For Time’.

The team will release more details about the campaign in the coming weeks.

 

Up Next

Saturday’s ‘bug day’ at Port Royal Speedway has already been cancelled due to the weather forecast, but the team will still be at ‘The Speed Palace’ on Sunday for the 2023 season opener in The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg, Juniata Veterinary Clinic, Berry’s Siding & Seamless Gutter, SRI Performance, VP Racing Fuels, JDS Racing, Locust Hill Custom Butcher Shop, Nathan Berry Beef Farm, Addicted2DirtPR.com, A&C Racing Engines, GO Lithium, Valvoline Pro-V Racing, Super Clean, Rocket Chassis No.86.

Below are a few teasers of Austin Berry Racing’s 2023 ‘Racing For Time’ Pancreatic Cancer Awareness car.  Come out to Port Royal Speedway this weekend to see the spectacular full wrap!
