Kody Hartlaub has had far more positives than negatives during his 2023 season.  He is a driven individual though, always working hard to eliminate the negatives.

As mid-September arrived, Hartlaub’s last five races had resulted in three top-five finishes.  However, there was also a 10th and a 19th along the way.  Those are where his mind goes, looking for the lessons learned and opportunities for improvement.

With only a few races left on the 2023 docket, Hartlaub was aiming to apply those lessons and make the homestretch of the season as consistent and successful as possible.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 15, 2023

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  29 cars, Heat 5th (8), A-main 5th (14)

 

DATE:  September 16, 2023

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  28 cars, Heat 1st (2), A-main 1st (8)

 

DATE:  September 22, 2023

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  26 cars, Heat 4th (7), A-main 3rd (10)

 

TOP FIVE THE HARD WAY

Hartlaub has been at or near the top of the Williams Grove Speedway 358 sprint car point standings almost all season.  That means his heat races become very important since the handicapping system puts him in the fourth row of the starting lineup and the feature starts heads up based on heat race finishes.

With 29 cars on hand on September 15th, Hartlaub got off on the right foot by driving from 8th to 5th in his heat race to earn the 14th starting spot in the main event.

That was the first step.  Now came the longer, harder step. 

In the 25-lap A-main, Hartlaub once again moved forward quickly.  By lap five he was inside the top ten.  He continued to methodically chip his way toward the front, cracking the top five with eight laps remaining.  The progress stalled there, but Hartlaub walked away with a hard-earned top-five finish, passing a combined 12 cars on the night to get it done.

REACHING THE SUMMIT AGAIN

In what has been a stellar season, it’s hard to believe Hartlaub has not found victory lane since May at Lincoln Speedway.  It becomes a tall order after handicapping systems kick in.  The East Berlin, PA driver finally conquered that challenge on September 16 to reach the summit, otherwise known as victory lane, for the third time in 2023.

The pill draw put Hartlaub on the front row for his heat race, which he efficiently converted into a heat race victory.  Lincoln’s format then places the top three finishers from each heat race into a handicap format to line up the feature.

That’s when Hartlaub’s work really started Saturday night.  From the 8th starting spot, with only twenty laps to accomplish the feat, he guided the J Fuels, Brewer Home Improvements, Moose Blocks, Smith Titanium, SRR Engines, Siegel Racing, T&N Solutions, Inch & Co. Real Estate, Bigham Appraisals, Pretzel Boy, HAAS Shocks, Chop Designs, Herr Electric, Hartlaub’s Furniture, Kody Hartlaub Racing No.95 toward the front.

After a shuffle of positions during the opening three circuits, Hartlaub settled into 4th on lap four.  With a combination of patience and aggressive moves, he continued to gain a spot every few laps, reaching the runner-up spot on lap twelve.

Two laps later, Hartlaub took command of the race and never relinquished the lead, winning by 1.812 seconds over veteran Frankie Herr.

“This one is really satisfying.  Winning is winning.  It’s hard no matter where you start, but this is the deepest in the field we have won from.  Passing so many good cars to get it done feels really good.“, Hartlaub said.

“Last time we were here we hit on something that helps us at the end of the night and later in the race when the track is getting worn out.  We went 10th to 2nd that night and maybe could have had a shot (to win) if we had gotten a late caution.  Tonight we were good again and the cautions felt right for us.“

'A' FOR EFFORT

Hartlaub returned to Williams Grove Speedway on September 22nd for his final shot to check off one of his 2023 goals, his first victory at the legendary Pennsylvania oval.

Just like the week before, Hartlaub started his work with a plus-3 in the heat race, climbing from 7th to 4th during the 8-lap qualifier.

He followed that up with a 4th-place run from the 10th starting spot in the 20-lap finale.

It took Hartlaub half the race to move forward.  He held the 10th spot until finally gaining some track position on lap eleven when he claimed 7th.  One lap later he took 6th.

With five laps remaining, Hartlaub cracked the top five, then raced his way into 4th a few laps later.  He finished 3rd, just 0.222 seconds out of 2nd.

“The one box I didn’t check this year that I really wanted was a win at Williams Grove.  We have been really consistent and we came close to getting that first win here but didn’t get it done.“, Harlaub said.  “I couldn’t ask for much more though.  We have been fast and competitive everywhere, all year long.“

“The 358s have fewer races here, so one bad night hurts more.  I messed up a few weeks ago and caused our one bad night here this year.  That might have cost us the championship but I want to say congrats to Doug (Hammaker).  He was really good all year.  He earned the championship.“

Friday’s race was the last of the 2023 season for the 358 sprint cars at the legendary Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania oval.  Hartlaub finished an impressive 2nd in the championship point standings, logging seven top-fives and only one finish outside the top ten in nine races.

REFLECTING

Hartlaub’s consistency and performance level have stood out in recent weeks.  Analysis of the three races since mid-September shows he has moved forward every time he has hit the track, passing a whopping total of 30 cars combined in heat and feature competition.

Just two years ago Hartlaub had one car, one engine, one of most parts, and was just trying to get to the track each week.  He talked about building depth and doing the work on and off the track to earn the trust of additional marketing partners.  He talked about winning multiple races in a season and maybe a championship.

As 2023 comes to a close, with the championship already secured at Lincoln Speedway, Hartlaub has accomplished all of those things.  It didn’t come easy.  He has worked on every aspect of his team from the shop, to the cockpit, to marketability.

“How our program has grown over 2022-2023 is insane.  We have reached the goals we set.  We have two cars, two motors, and extra parts, plus we added J Fuels this year.  Now we are working on new goals for 2024.“, Hartlaub shared.

UP NEXT

Hartlaub’s season is winding down.  The team has opted to conclude their 410 sprint car schedule but they do have one more 358 sprint car start on the schedule.  

That will come October 14th at Lincoln Speedway where Hartlaub is aiming to close out the season with back to back victories, just like he kicked off the season.

SEASON STATS

358 SPRINTS:  23 races, 3 wins, 15 top 5’s, 20 top 10’s, 21 top 15’s

410 SPRINTS:  6 races, 0 wins, 1 top 5’s, 2 top 10’s, 4 top 15’s

 

TRIVIA QUESTION

The answer to last week’s trivia question is Kody Hartlaub says his best memory in racing is his first 358 sprint car win, which came on August 21, 2021!

Now, on to this week’s question.  Thus far in 2023, Kody has raced 23 times in his 358 sprint car and amassed 15 top-five finishes.  In 2022, he competed in 23 races.  How many top-five finishes did he have last season?

Find the answer in the next press release!

Reinhardt Rebounds Saturday at Eldora’s 4-Crown Nationals

High Limit at Lernerville and Grove National Open This Week

New Weston, OH – September 25, 2023

Kyle Reinhardt and the Grove Racing team rolled into Eldora Speedway last weekend for the 4-Crown Nationals coming off a win and runner-up finish at Fremont Speedway.

The combination of Reinhardt and Grove has been clicking since they joined forces in mid-August, putting up seven top-ten finishes in their first ten races, including five top-five finishes and the victory.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 22, 2023

  • Info:  Grove Racing No.45 / World of Outlaws
  • Event:  Befour the Crowns Showdown
  • Track:  Eldora Speedway
  • City, State:   New Weston, OH
  • Quick Stats:  47 cars, Qualifying 23rd in Group A, Heat 9th (12), B-main 18th (13)

DATE:  September 23, 2023

  • Info:  Grove Racing No.45 / All Star Circuit of Champions
  • Event:  4-Crown Nationals
  • Track:  Eldora Speedway
  • City, State:   New Weston, OH
  • Quick Stats:  42 cars, Qualifying 5th in Group C, Heat 6th (5), B-main 3rd (6), A-main 15th (23)

ENGINE WOES

Given it was the first trip to Eldora Speedway together for Reinhardt and the Grove Racing team, they hoped to use Friday night’s Befour the Crowns Showdown event to dial in the Grove Racing, Capitol Renegade, Bakers Mobile Home Transport, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.45 for Saturday’s final points race of the 2023 All Star Circuit of Champions season.

Unfortunately, the team experienced engine issues during time trials and ended up 23rd in Group A, putting them in a deep hole for the night.

Reinhardt was able to gain three spots in his heat race, which put him into the B-main.  After moving forward somewhat in that race, the engine issues reared their head again and Reinhardt retired for the night.

FIGHT 'TIL THE END

Saturday night Reinhardt was just a tick off in qualifying, landing 5th in his group.  The Neptune City, NJ native slipped to 6th at the start of his heat race, battled back to 5th a few laps later, but ultimately ended up 6th.

In the B-main, Reinhardt showed his team was getting his No.45 dialed in.  He charged from his 6th starting spot into 3rd by lap two and he never let go of the transfer spot.

The trend continued in the 30-lap 4-Crown Nationals A-main.  Reinhardt started 23rd but at the drop of the green surged forward to 16th.  He cracked the top fifteen a few laps later.  

Reinhardt momentarily held 14th just past the midpoint of the race, but at the checkers had recorded a 15th place finish after overcoming engine issues against a stout field.

“We just got behind the 8-ball all weekend starting with engine problems on Friday.“, Reinhardt said.  “I’m proud of our team.  Everyone worked hard and we improved for Saturday.“

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Zach Newlin Derailed en Route To Top Ten Finish

Plans for More 410 Sprint Car Races in the Works

Mechancisburg, PA – September 25, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Zach Newlin and the Mansberger Motorsports team have been working hard to solve some balance issues with the No.21m over the past month.  The team was running consistently inside the top ten and picked up one victory this summer, but has since been battling to get back to that level of consistency.

Friday night, the team rolled into Williams Grove Speedway for the final 358 sprint car race of the 2023 season at the legendary Pennsylvania oval.

 

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  9/15/23

  • Event:  Final 358 Sprint Car Points Race of 2023
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Quick Stats:  26 cars, Heat 2nd (5), A-Main 12th (6)

 

DIGGIN' EARLY

Newlin came out of the box, ready to be a factor Friday night.  Heat lineups were set using a handicapping format, which put the Millerstown, PA driver 5th to take the green.

As he is known to fans, Zach Daddy moved forward immediately and was holding down the runner-spot by lap three.  With the feature set to be lined up ‘heads up’ based on heat race finishes, Newlin went after leader Logan Rumsey but fell 0.850 seconds short at the finish line.

 

WELL, THAT'S UNFORTUNATE

Newlin started outside row three for the 20-lap main event and settled into the 6th spot in the early going.

As the race neared the midpoint, Newlin slipped to 8th but remained in a battle to climb further into the top ten.  Unfortunately, as he entered turn one on lap ten, contact with a competitor going for the same piece of real estate turned Newlin’s No.21m around.

With no damage, Newlin restarted at the rear of the field and made the most of the remaining ten laps, charging his way back to a 12th place finish, nearly completing a full recovery from the incident.

“We had a good night going.  Hate that happened in the middle of the race.  I was committed to my line.  Just a racing deal.“, Newlin said.  

“We have been battling a tight condition and tonight we were too free.  We’ll keep working on it and find the balance we need.“

Newlin and the Mansberger Motorsports team, who compiled five top-ten finishes and one win along the way, finished 6th in the Williams Grove Speedway 358 sprint car championship standings for the 2023 season.

“I really want to thank Dan (Mansberger) for the opportunity to drive his car.  We got him back to victory lane this year and had a pretty good season.  Hoping we can come back next year with him and have an even better year.“, Newlin commented.

 

UP NEXT

Newlin’s 358 sprint car season may be over, but he still expects to squeeze in a couple more 410 sprint car races in his family’s familiar No.11z before the end of the year.

Austin Berry Picks Up Top Ten at Small Car Nationals

/0 Comments/in , /by

Season Is a Wrap for ABR

Hagerstown, MD – September 21, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Austin Berry has been on a late season roll since being forced to end his super late model season due to the loss of two engines and shift gears to the limited late model ranks.

The postponement of Hagerstown Speedway’s Small Car Nationals for limited late models to September 16th gave Berry the opportunity to add it to his schedule.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 8, 2023

  • Event:  Small Car Nationals
  • Track:  Hagerstown Speedway
  • City, State:   Hagerstown, MD
  • Division:  Limited Late Model
  • Quick Stats:  30 cars, Qualifying 16th, Heat 3rd (4), A-main 8th (13)

 

IT'S NOT EASY

The rescheduled limited late model event brought 30 of the top teams from the region to compete.  In this third career start in the division, Austin Berry turned in the 16th quickest lap during time trials in The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg, Juniata Veterinary Clinic, Berry’s Siding & Seamless Gutter, SRI Performance / Stock Car Steel & Aluminum, VP Racing Fuels, JDS Racing, Locust Hill Custom Butcher Shop, Nathan Berry Beef Farm, Addicted2DirtPR.com, GO Lithium, Valvoline Pro-V Racing, Super Clean, Rocket Chassis, Austin Berry Racing No.86.

Berry’s time was disappointing to the Mifflin, PA driver given the speed the team had shown in their first two outings in the division.  It put Berry in a hole he would need to dig out of to reach the front of the field in the main event.  From outside row two in his heat race, he gained some ground back with a 3rd place finish.

Starting 13th on the grid in the 30-lap main event, Berry went forward at the drop of the green.  He broke into the top ten on lap four but then slipped back to 11th at the midpoint of the race.

Berry regained his rhythm and began to go forward again late in the race.  He reached 8th with six laps remaining and took the checkered flag in that position.

“We weren’t very good tonight, so I’ll take a top ten.”, Berry said.  “This is a good group of cars and it’s a very competitive division, so I don’t expect it to be easy, but we should’ve timed better and put ourselves in a more competitive position for the night.  We just messed up early and couldn’t fully recover.“

UP NEXT

Berry and his team have made the decision to draw the curtain on their 2023 season so they can get started on the work required to prepare for 2024.

Kyle Reinhardt Wins Ford Classic Opener, Runner-up in Finale

4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway Up Next

Fremont, OH – September 19, 2023

Kyle Reinhardt has been running at or near the front most nights since taking the wheel of the Grove Racing No.45.  He had led laps, but thus far a win had eluded him.

When a team has consistent speed like the Reinhardt/Grove combination has, sooner or later they will break through.  They did just that at Fremont Speedway’s Jim and Joanne Ford Classic.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 15, 2023

  • Info:  Grove Racing No.45 / All Star Circuit of Champions
  • Event:  Jim & Joanne Ford Classic Opener
  • Track:  Fremont Speedway
  • City, State:   Fremont, OH
  • Quick Stats:  44 cars, Qualifying 2nd in Group D, Heat 1st (1), Dash 4th (6), A-main 1st (4)

DATE:  September 16, 2023

  • Info:  Grove Racing No.45 / All Star Circuit of Champions
  • Event:  Jim & Joanne Ford Classic Finale
  • Track:  Fremont Speedway
  • City, State:   Fremont, OH
  • Quick Stats:  42 cars, Qualifying 2nd in Group B, Heat 1st (1), Dash 5th (5), A-main 2nd (5)

LAST LAP DRAMATICS

Reinhardt got his team’s weekend off to a solid start by qualifying 2nd quickest in his group, which put the Grove Racing, Capitol Renegade, Bakers Mobile Home Transport, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.45 on the pole for the heat race.  He then led that race wire to wire to put himself in the Dash.

The redraw handed Reinhardt the 6th starting spot in the 6-lap dash.  The Neptune City, NJ native managed to make some progress by advancing to a 4th place finish, which meant a second row starting spot for the 30-lap A-main.

Reinhardt charged into the 2nd position on the opening lap and pursued leader Parker Price Miller throughout the first half of the race.  The pair navigated their way through traffic, with Reinhardt looking for the right opportunity to slip by and take command.  On lap fourteen he led at the line, but Price Miller battled back to lead the next lap by just a few feet.  

Reinhardt took command again on lap sixteen and remained out front until late in the race when Price Miller slipped by with three laps remaining.

Reinhardt wasn’t done.  He built up momentum on the high side on the final lap and beat Price Miller to the line by 0.094 seconds to take the $6,000 victory.

“I knew I had a great car from the start.  Bryan (Grove) and I talk about it every race, you have to be in the dash to put yourself in position to win these races.  We’ve been doing that.“, Reinhardt said.  “Everybody is so good, so getting two spots in the dash tonight was huge.”

“Picking up two spots on the start of the feature allowed me to be patient behind Parker (Price Miller).  I was trying to wait for the right opportunity in traffic and it worked out perfectly for me.  I kind of gave it back to him there late.  I didn’t know how many laps were left until I saw the white, so I knew I had to get up on the wheel and get it done.“

GOING FOR THE SWEEP

Saturday night Reinhardt was back at Fremont Speedway to go after the Jim and Joanne Classic weekend sweep, and it certainly looked like he was up to the task.  

Once again, he timed 2nd quickest in his group and won his heat race from the pole to put the Grove Racing No.45 into the dash.  He started 5th in the dash, slipped backwards two spots, then battled back to finish 5th.

Starting inside row three for the 40-lap finale, Reinhardt moved into the 4th spot on lap four and settled in there for the next twenty laps.

With the top five running close together in heavy traffic, Reinhardt’s patience paid off.  He took advantage of an opening on the low side of turn four, quickly darting into the runner up spot.  Over the final fifteen circuits, he gave chase to leader Zeb Wise, nipping at his heels and pulling alongside on several occasions.

Despite a caution with two laps to go that provided a restart opportunity for Reinhardt, he was never able to wrestle the lead away from Wise and finished 2nd, missing the weekend sweep by just 0.958 seconds.

“I can’t thank my guys enough.  Chris (Shuttlesworth) and all the 45 guys have been working really hard and it shows.”, Reinhardt said.  

“I got under Zeb (Wise) one time, but he did what he needed to do to keep the position and it broke my momentum.“

Reinhardt did not want to see the final caution with two laps remaining.

“He (Wise) doesn’t know it, but he’s lucky that caution came out because I had my momentum back and was rolling pretty good.“, Reinhardt said with a smile.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Kyle can be contacted via [email protected].

Newlin Makes Progress Late at Grove for Mansberger Motorsports

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mechancisburg, PA – September 18, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Zach Newlin returned to the seat of the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway for the annual Match Race, which offers an increased purse throughout the field.

The team was not only looking to claim some of the cash that was on the line, they were hoping to start a new streak of top ten finishes after losing their previous streak of five with a tough outing on September 1st.

 

QUICK RESULTS

  • Date:  9/15/23
  • Event:  Match Race
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Quick Stats:  28 cars, Heat 8th (8), A-Main 14th (19)

 

TOUGH HOLE TO DIG OUT OF

Heat race lineups for the 28 358 sprint cars on hand were set using a handicapping format, which put Newlin 8th on the grid for the first heat of the night.  The top six finishers would transfer directly to the night’s main event, but the heavy, narrow track wasn’t very conducive for passing.  The Millerstown, PA driver finished where he started, 8th, and moved on to the B-main for another shot.

In the 10-lap B-main, Newlin started 4th and went on the charge from the drop of the green.  By lap two, he snagged the runner-up spot.  On lap five, he took the lead away from Nat Tuckey.  He never looked back and took the win by over four seconds.

The 25-lap Match Race A-main kicked off with Newlin in the 19th starting spot.  Once again, he started his forward progress from the outset.

Six laps in, Newlin was up to 15th.  On lap eleven, he moved into 14th.  The progress stalled there and Newlin finished 14th.

“We weren’t horrible but the car was a little too tight.  We need to figure that out.“, Newlin said.  

Newlin was alluding to a setup issue that the team has been battling the last few races.  Something has changed on the car since their hot streak over the summer and it has been a bit tricky to zero in on exactly what is causing the handling issues.

“We’re hoping to be back here next Friday night and give it another shot.“, Newlin concluded.

 

UP NEXT

Newlin will tentatively return to Williams Grove Speedway Friday, September 22nd for the final 358 sprint car race of the 2023 season.

Stay tuned to Zach Newlin Racing’s social media outlets listed below or to Addicted2DirtPR.com/Events for the latest schedule information.

TRIVIA QUESTION

The answer to our last trivia question is Zach accumulated [D] More than 100 top ten finishes in the 305 sprint car division during the 2016-2019 seasons!  Quite an impressive statistic!

Friday night, for the second consecutive year, Trever Feathers jumped behind the wheel of Brad Omps’ No.5T limited late model and drove to victory in September at Winchester (VA) Speedway.

QUICK RESULTS

Feathers was part of a 20 car field signed into compete for the $1,992 winner’s share of the Nichole Hess Tribute Race at Winchester Speedway in his Virginia hometown.

Feathers served notice quickly that he would be a factor by posting quick time in qualifying.  He followed that up with a runner-up finish to Brad Omps in his heat race.

In the feature event, Feathers started 6th but moved quickly to the front, taking command on lap five.  It was never in question after that as the Winchester, VA native was never challenged.  He claimed the victory by four seconds over veteran Gary Stuhler.

“I have to thank Brad for the opportunity to drive his car.  His stuff is always good and this car was spot on tonight.  I could run it wherever I wanted and as hard as I needed to.“, a very happy Feathers said.  “Always cool to win here our hometown.”

Tony Jackson Excels in Racing Season While Embarking on a New Career Journey

/0 Comments/in , /by

Carlisle, PA – September 14, 2023

by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos Photography

Tony Jackson and Hess Motorsports continues to impress within the Super Sportsman division in 2023 as they’ve picked up six victories over the past few months, highlighted by his first career Sportsman 100 victory at BAPS Motor Speedway in York Haven, PA.

The win capped off an eventful few months for the Carlisle, Pa native that saw him score three wins in winged competition (two at BAPS and one at Path Valley Speedway) and three in wingless action (Path Valley, Bedford Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway).

“We’ve had a really good run these past few months and my confidence is at an all-time high,” said Jackson. “Every time we hit the track, I feel confident we’ll be in contention, and it just speaks to how good of a team Scott Hess gives me.”

Specific to the Sportsman 100 triumph, Jackson and his father became the first father and son duo to claim victory in the 49th running of the historic event.

“It’s pretty special to add my name to the list of guys who have won that race, and for me and my dad to make history is something I’ll never forget.” he said. “As long as I can remember this race has meant a lot to me and my family and it was just really cool.”

With Jackson set to move up to the 410 Sprint Car ranks in 2024, the win was even more special as he knew it would likely be his final go at taking the crown.

“We may run it again in the future, but for all intent I knew it was kind of our last shot at getting a Sportsman 100 win,” said Jackson. “I kind of went into the race with the mentality that it was do or die and I was all in on coming home a winner.”

With his racing career reaching new heights, he is simultaneously gearing up for a fresh adventure in the motorsports industry. Over the next few months, Jackson will be taking part in several test and tune sessions at BAPS, with the goal of debuting behind the wheel of a 410 Sprint Car at the track for the $20,000 to win Les Stewart Final Showdown on November 11th.

“It’s been a fun year, but honestly I’m just ready to start focusing on 2024 and the 410 Sprint Car,” said Jackson. “We’re going to give it our all and this is the next logical step in that process.”

“I’ve had a lot of success at BAPS over the years and I’m really looking forward to practicing and getting comfortable there,” he added. “The offseason is a short one, but it can also be a long one. I don’t want to sit all offseason waiting for 2024 to get here and not be my best to start the year off. So, we’re going to kind of shake things down and we’ll see where we stack up come November against some good competition.”

Berry Scores Top Ten Finish in Last Minute Schedule Addition

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hagerstown and Selinsgrove Limited Late Model Action Up Next

Port Royal, PA – September 13, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Austin Berry’s two super late model engines are both sidelined for repairs, so the Mifflin, PA driver had no plans to hit the track last weekend.

He had recently bolted a borrowed limited late model engine under the hood and produced a couple outstanding runs with it but there were no plans to race that either.

Late Friday afternoon when he learned of a low turnout of super late models at Port Royal Speedway as a result of an extremely ominous weather forecast, Berry did some math and changed his mind.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 8, 2023

  • Event:  Final Points Race
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Division:  Super Late Model
  • Quick Stats:  18 cars, Qualifying DNS, A-main 10th (18)

 

LAST MINUTE SCRAMBLE

Berry’s blown engine during the Lucas Oil Late Model event weekend at Port Royal had cost him the chance to race the finale, and along with that he didn’t earn any show up points.  That was enough to drop Berry from 8th to 11th in the track’s season championship standings.

That might not seem important, but the top ten in points at the end of the season receive a complimentary season pit pass from the speedway for the following season.  It’s a gesture made by the track to show appreciation for the team’s season-long support and also an enticement for them to return the following season.

Berry’s decision came so late that the team missed the combined hot lap/group time trial session.  As a result, he would line up last (18th) for the 25-lap main event in The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg, Juniata Veterinary Clinic, Berry’s Siding & Seamless Gutter, SRI Performance / Stock Car Steel & Aluminum, VP Racing Fuels, JDS Racing, Locust Hill Custom Butcher Shop, Nathan Berry Beef Farm, Addicted2DirtPR.com, GO Lithium, Valvoline Pro-V Racing, Super Clean, Rocket Chassis, Austin Berry Racing No.86.

The entire Austin Berry Racing team hoped that just showing up would be sufficient to move them into the top ten in points since they were underpowered racing the limited motor against the super late models.

Surprisingly, Berry was able to make the most of the power he had on the slick racing surface, which acted as a bit of an equalizer.  He methodically chipped away, moving up to 15th by lap four.  He reached 11th with ten laps remaining and broke into the top ten on lap twenty one.  He held on to that spot to log a 10th place finish he wasn’t sure was possible.

“We had no expectations for tonight.  It was such a spur of the moment decision solely aimed at earning enough points to put us back in the top ten, which we accomplished.  That gets us one season pit pass for 2024.  That may not seem like much, but for a team like ours that races on a tight budget…and given we have two motors to repair…every dollar counts.  We spent very little to race tonight and came out on the positive end of our decision.”, Berry said.

UP NEXT

Berry’s current plans for the upcoming weekend include two limited late model races.  He’ll start with Hagerstown Speedway’s Small Car Nationals on Saturday, September 16th, then will head north to Selinsgrove Speedway for their Sunday night race.
