Ashley Cappetta Racing is pleased to announce that the Gettysburg Trading Post has signed on as the team’s main sponsor for the 2024 racing season. This will be the 13th season that the Gettysburg Trading Post has teamed up with ACR, their partnership started in 2012 during Ashley’s first year competing.

The Gettysburg Trading Post moved into ACR’s main sponsor spot for the 2021 season which means they have priority for any community events that ACR attends and prominent branding on the trailer, the car, and Ashley’s fire suits. “It’s really nice to have someone that believes in me through the good and the bad. There’s been a lot of good but also a lot of bad, but for someone to stick by me through the ugly – I don’t think I’d be where I am without Shawn and the Trading Post,” Cappetta shared.

Cappetta has enjoyed seeing the Gettysburg Trading Post grow and expand alongside of ACR and said, “Shawn and the Trading Post started small and progressed to the main sponsor, which I am truly forever grateful for. As their sponsorship has grown, so has their business. It’s been nice to see them move into a larger facility and build a good business.”

 

12th Annual “A night at the Races” Fundraising Event Set for February 10

In addition to gearing up for the on-track action in 2024, Cappetta is also putting the final pieces in place for her 12th annual “A Night at the Races” fundraising event on Saturday, February 10. Tickets are available in advance and at the door (unless sold out prior to the event) for $30. Doors open at 5PM at the Irishtown Fire Company (934 Irishtown Rd., New Oxford, PA). Every fan in attendance will receive a shirt, a reusable grocery bag and a can coozie. The event includes a silent auction, raffles, a live auction, and much more.

Some of the items to be auctioned off in the live auction are a race used and autographed Freddie Rahmer helmet, James McFadden #83 autographed wing panel, Steve Wilbur race used helmet, Cory Haas #11c wing panel, Don Kreitz Jr wing panel, nose wing from the #69K autographed by Lance Dewease, Davey Brown and Don Kreitz Jr and a James McFadden KKR #9 autographed wing panel.

Another aspect of the event that allows fans to take home extra cash is the “Racers Challenge.” Fans compete via the World of Outlaws video game with $350 going to first place, $200 for second, $100 for third, $75 for fourth, and $50 for fifth. There is a payoff for non-qualifiers as well. The “Racers Challenge” is sponsored by Livingston Lawn Care, Snelbecker Electric, Racing Through Time Racing Collectibles, and ACR.

In addition to the raffle baskets, there will be a large raffle with multiple top prizes including a Mossberg 500 Retrograde Field 12 gauge shotgun, 36-inch blackstone grill, a bushel of crabs from RIPS, and Michael Kors purse plus 6 other prizes.

Ashley Cappetta Racing merchandise will be available for purchase at the event. 2023 merchandise will be discounted and it will be fans’ first opportunity to buy 2024 merchandise.

The fundraiser will also be the official kick-off of the 20th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial. The $ 20,000-to-win race was originally scheduled for the 2023 racing season, but Mother Nature forced it to be moved to Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Newlin Building the Foundation for Future 410 Sprint Car Success in Central PA

Get Your Tickets Now:  Team’s Annual Cash Bingo Event Fast Approaching

Millerstown, PA – January 17, 2023

Zach Newlin spent most of the 2023 season working to pull his own 410 sprint car team together.  It proved to take longer than hoped but the team did manage to make it to the track three times late in the season.  

The preparation has continued throughout this offseason, and while Newlin has limited resources, he has been working hard to build depth where he can and fans should expect to see more of Newlin in his 410 sprint car in 2024.

There are plenty of other updates from the Zach Newlin Racing camp to share this winter too.

YOU WIN, THEY WIN!

Racers don’t often get the opportunity to hang out and have fun with their fans, family, and friends.  Every winter, Zach Newlin and the entire Newlin Racing family try to remedy that by hosting a fun night 

The night features bingo with cash prizes, door prizes, 50/50 drawings, a Chinese auction, and tear-off tickets.

Not only is it a fun night of games, but the annual event helps Newlin Racing support some of the costs of their program.

Everyone knows how expensive racing is these days.  It doesn’t matter if you are running a go-kart like Caleb Newlin or a full-blown sprint car like his father, Zach Newlin, it takes funding to get to the track.  

The entire event is a win for fans and a win for Newlin Racing.  Come out and support a long-time Central Pennsylvania racing family.

The event will be held at the Millerstown (PA) Moose on Saturday, January 27th.  Doors open at noon with festivities kicking off at 1pm.

Advance tickets are $25.  Only 300 tickets will be sold.  If available, tickets will be $30 at the door.  Interested fans can message Newlin Racing or Zach Newlin Racing on Facebook to get tickets.

Tickets are also available at the Millerstown Moose, Ron’s RV Sales in Mifflintown, and The Podium Awards in Newport.

Fans can find all the latest information on the ‘Newlin Racing Cash Bingo’ event on the Newlin Racing Facebook page.

358 PLANS

Before we get into Newlin’s 410 sprint car plans for 2024, we want to fill fans in on another part of his schedule.

‘Zach Daddy’ as he is known to his fans, will return to the seat of Dan Mansberger’s No.21m 358 sprint car to compete in all the Williams Grove Speedway dates for the division. 

The pairing had a solid season in 2023, capturing one victory and finishing 6th in the season point standings at ‘The Grove’.

“We enjoy running with Dan, so I’m really happy to be back in his car again.”, Newlin said.

“This will be our 4th year together.  We struggled with mechanical issues our first couple of years but last year we overcame that.  We were competitive almost every week in 2023.  I’m looking forward to 2024.  I think we can run up front and get Dan back to victory lane again.“

410 PLANS

Last season, Newlin was aiming to get his own family-owned 11z team put together with a 410 bullet under the hood by early summer but parts delays, funding and other issues kept delaying his debut.  The team did manage three starts before the season closed, one of them unfortunately ending early with a part failure in hot laps.

In 2024, Newlin is set to race the Ron’s RV Sales, Butler Hill Maple Farm, Tuscarora Roofing Co., Dillman Hauling, Precision Auto Repair Services, Christine Booker Realtor, Newlin Bar Service No.11z on a regular basis from the start of the season. 

That said, Newlin will need to be selective when and where he competes to ensure he makes the most of his equipment and gives himself the best chance to build on what he has.  

With only their smaller engine available, ZNR’s schedule options will be a bit limited.  As of now, plans are to compete at BAPS Motor Speedway’s 410 sprint car shows, plus some additional mid-summer dates at Port Royal Speedway.  Newlin is hoping the team’s other engine is done soon so the team will be able to add more dates to their schedule.

“This will be a learning and building year for us, so our main goals are just to be at the track as much as we are able and get as many laps as we can.“, Newlin commented.  “We are also going to make sure we promote our partners.  We wouldn’t be able to do this without them.  I can’t thank those folks enough.  Last year was disappointing because we wanted to race more but things we couldn’t control kept us from doing that.  

“Our partners have stayed behind us and continued to believe in what we are trying to build, so we are going to make sure to take care of them.“

PARTNERS ARE FAMILY

Speaking of marketing partners, Newlin will welcome back several key supporters in 2024.

Ron’s RV Sales of Mifflintown is back as a primary partner.  Ron’s RV Sales is a retirement hobby that has become a passion. After retiring from Snedeker Energy in early 2020, Ron decided to buy some RVs and start a little business as a hobby. While the business has grown, Ron is still dedicated to helping people find the RV that’s right for them. You won’t find high-pressure salespeople or big mark-ups, just honest prices and a great selection of travel trailers, motorhomes, utility trailers, golf carts, and more.  You can find them online at RonsRVSales.com, call 717-436-6514, or stop by 349 Industrial Park Road, Mifflintown, PA.

Also returning is Butler Hill Maple Farm, which is owned and operated by U.S. Army veteran Corrie Bacon.  As a child, Corrie helped his dad make maple syrup.  Prior to his retirement following 31 years of service, he purchased land and the maple business from his lifelong friend.  Since then, Butler Hill Maple Farm has been offering pure Pennsylvania maple syrup in three grades: Golden Delicate, Amber Rich, Dark Robust and Very Dark, Very Strong.

Race fans will also find Butler Hill Maple Farm has special edition bottles etched with sprint cars, late models and modifieds!  All these items are available for shipping in their company store online, and at events throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the DC area. Visit ButlerHillMapleFarm.com to learn more and get your favorite products today!  You can also call Corrie’s customer service at 607-426-5820, email [email protected] or find Butler Hill Maple Farm on Facebook.

Tuscarora Roofing, a full service roofing company based in Blain, PA, is back for Newlin’s 2024 campaign.  If your roof needs some attention or a full replacement, contact them today!  Tuscarora Roofing can be found on Facebook or reached at (717) 512-5340.

Dillman Hauling will continue their support of Newlin for the fifth consecutive season.  Dillman Hauling, LLC. has been offering clients throughout Perry County and the surrounding area quality transportation of materials since 2018.  They offer Tri-Axle hauling for stone, shale, sand, topsoil, fill, etc.  Visit them on Facebook to learn more or give them a call at 717-275-3454 today!

A number of other invaluable partners and product sponsors will also return to the team, including Precision Auto Repair Services, Christine Booher – Realtor, Safety-Kleen, Strange Oval, Walker Performance Filtration, Newlin Bar Service, The Podium Awards, Nesbit Innovations and Deimler Chiropractic.

“We welcome inquiries about our available partnerships.  As we work to build this team into a weekly competitor, we are open to building custom packages to best meet the goals of businesses interested in getting involved in our family-owned team.“, Newlin said.

“Our partners become part of our racing family.  That’s the type of atmosphere we want to maintain in our pit area, at our shop and anywhere we go.”

 

Marketing partnership opportunities are available for the 2024 season!
