Starting Summer with Success: 1st Career Limited Win Highlights Month of June for Snook

Mifflintown, PA – June 30, 2024

After a strong end to the month of May, Lane Snook and team were poised to make June a strong month. It didn’t take long for the speed of the months prior to translate into a front running performance. 

June 1st featured the Limited Late Models competing at the BAPS Motor Speedway in a dual feature program. In the make-up feature, Snook and the 23 team showed tremendous speed, making a run from 23rd to the 2nd position. A strong run in the regular program’s heat (6th-1st) put the 16 year-old in a good position for the feature. At the end of the caution-filled race, Snook stood victorious on the front stretch, scoring his first career win in the Limited Late Model division. 

“It was definitely cool to get my first win in a late model. It’s something that definitely helps build confidence in a sport that can destroy your confidence with a few bad runs.” Getting this first win seemed to have eased the young Mifflintown racer. “I’m glad it’s over with and hopefully it won’t be as stressful running up front.” Running up front would be something the 23 car would do in their next race at Port Royal. 

With a 2nd place finish in his heat and a 2nd place starting position, put the pressure on once again. After running the first half of the race in 2nd, Lane slid back slightly after a restart, still garnering a 6th place run on a slick Port Royal. “I made some gains learning a slick racetrack and it ended up a good night.” 

Taking the next week off to recuperate from illness, the team “thrashed to get the other car ready and decided to go to BAPS” after Selinsgrove canceled their double feature night. Another heat win showed promise for a good night, but the track unfortunately ran into a curfew issue right before the late model feature and will now have to make up the show. Lane will roll off 8th. 

With the Blue Collar Classic being canceled due to expected rain, Snook and team will have a week off to get ready for the makeup feature, plus a full regular show, at BAPS on July 6th. Lane and family will also have some time to enjoy the holiday and hopefully enjoy some good family time and food. Nothing says summertime, quite like getting to enjoy a picnic. “I would say BBQ ribs would probably be my favorite 4th of July picnic food.” And as summer progresses, the young-racer also likes to enjoy some things outside of racing, like going to the beach when time allows. Lane enjoys “riding waves on the boogie boards with friends” on vacations. 

Summer vacation will be filled with more racing for the late model team, as a potential five features outline their plans. July 6th will be at the aforementioned BAPS double program. Then the team plans to head to Port Royal the following week. A small track takes the team out of the regular ⅜ & ½ mile routine, as they take on Path Valley, which hosted the World of Outlaws series earlier in the year. Snook plans to end the month out with BAPS. 

All of this again wouldn’t be possible without all their great sponsors. Many thanks go out to all the individuals and families that help keep the dream alive and the 23 on the track and hopefully in victory lane more frequently.

Kody Hartlaub Leads Laps, Continues To Build Momentum in Trone 39

Kody Hartlaub opened up the month of June with two top-ten finishes for his new team, the Trone Outdoors No.39.

As the month moved on and headed towards the annual summer tradition that is Pennsylvania Speedweek, the most grueling test his team would face this season, Hartlaub and crew chief Kevin Frey were focused on continuing to fine-tune the details that would make the East Berlin driver more comfortable and further improve the team’s performance.

CONTINUING CONSISTENCY

At Williams Grove Speedway on June 14th, Hartlaub moved forward in his heat race and started inside the top ten in the main event.  

The night had the makings of another top ten, however Hartlaub slipped back a few spots out of the top ten in the early going, then late in the race the night took a turn for the worse when he got caught up in someone else’s accident.  The damage ended his night early with a 16th-place finish.

The following night at Lincoln Speedway Hartlaub again moved forward in his heat race, capturing a runner-up finish and securing the 6th starting spot in the A-main.

Hartlaub charged toward the front in the early going, climbing as high as 2nd on lap nine.  He slipped back, outside of the top five at the midpoint of the race and ultimately finished 7th.

CHEMISTRY

The June 21st & 22nd weekend brought the final tune-up races at Williams Grove and Lincoln before Speedweek.  At ‘The Grove’ Hartlaub recorded another top-ten finish, a 9th in the final rundown.

Saturday’s race at Lincoln may have been the most telling and most valuable of Hartlaub’s first eight races in the Trone 39.  He qualified 3rd quickest in the field and went on to win his heat race, but it was the A-main that provided the most valuable experience.

Hartlaub took command of the race from the pole position and remained out front for the first 24 laps of the 30-lap affair.  He kept names like Wagaman, Rahmer, and Bollinger behind him.

As the race entered its final ten laps, Hartlaub was holding nearly a straightaway lead, navigating lapped traffic smoothly.  With six laps remaining, he attempted to slide a lapped car that was racing in his preferred line but he couldn’t complete the pass.

Another attempt two corners later was the decision Hartlaub would later regret.  The slide job killed his momentum and allowed Matt Campbell to close the gap and get by for the lead.  The sequence not only stole his momentum, it also took him out of his rhythm and cost him two more spots in the final three laps to officially finish 4th.

“I know what I would do differently next time.”, Hartlaub said of the late-race decision that cost him the lead.  “Inexperience bit me.  Lesson learned.”

“I’m disappointed we didn’t get the win tonight but I can’t be unhappy about how we have been running only eight races in.  We’re all working really well together, we’re competitive, we’re getting better every week, and we’re having fun.”

With a solid first month in the seat of the Trone No.39, Hartlaub appears ready to embark on the PA Speedweek journey.  He heads into Speedweek having logged five top-ten finishes in his first eight starts aboard the Trone 39.  

“We have got a really good chemistry in the shop and at the track.  There has been great communication and collaboration.  Kevin and I are working well together, making decisions together, and everyone involved has settled into their roles.”, Hartlaub added.

“As far as in the seat, I was worried about time trialing coming into the season because that was something we didn’t do much in 358’s and I knew it was something I would need to get good at to be competitive in a 410.  Racing twice every weekend, many of them time trial shows has helped me tremendously.  Not only with qualifying but with racing in general.  Nothing beats seat time.”

“I take the history of this sport seriously, so being able to drive the Trone 39, which is an iconic car especially here in PA, means a lot to me and I’m going to work hard to keep this car at the front of the field for as long as I have the opportunity.”

Kyle Keen Prepares for First 410 PA Sprint Speedweek Competition

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Port Royal, PA – June 26, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Kyle Keen has been grinding through the first half of his first full 410 sprint car season, racing as often as possible to gain experience and shorten the learning curve.

Central PA is not the shallow end of the pool when it comes to sprint car racing, so the journey has required a lot of patience and the ability to recognize progress isn’t measured by finishing position.

The upcoming Pennsylvania Speedweek will be another opportunity and test for the 410 rookie.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  June 21, 2024

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  25 cars, Group 3 Qualifying 6th, Heat 6th (6), A-main 20th (18)

DATE:  June 22, 2024

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  28 cars, Qualifying 14th, Heat 6th (5), A-main 16th (17)

WEEKEND RECAP

Before we get to Keen’s Speedweek plans, let’s take a quick look back at the recent weekend.

As he has been almost every weekend this season, Keen signed in at Williams Grove Speedway Friday night and Port Royal Speedway Saturday night.

While the finishes may not draw headlines, Keen has been getting more and more comfortable in the Fine Line Auto Body, Hess Bid / Hess Auctioneers, Keen Parts / CorvetteParts.net, Shetron Trailers, Heishman Racing Fuels, DL Lehman Construction, Fuel Ox No.17k.

Friday night at ‘The Grove’, Keen made his 6th consecutive A-main and 10th in his first 14 attempts.  

Saturday night at ‘The Speed Palace’, Keen qualified 14th in the field of 28, timing better than several veteran teams.  He then went on to navigate a tough A-main and survive for a 16th-place finish.

The key takeaway is this:  along the way, Keen is making shows and giving himself the chance to make as many laps as possible.  Every lap is valuable seat time that provides experience.  This is the year to learn and build a notebook for the future.

“I think the season so far has gone as expected. We’ve been getting humbled every week, but every week we keep on getting just a tick better. Last week was a big step for us as we qualified what we felt like was pretty well with the competition that is at port Royal right now. We out-qualified some veteran guys and I think that says a lot about how far we’ve come with the car, but as you look ahead you see how far we still have to go to be in the top 5.”, Keen shared.

“Nothing we have done on the track has been super sexy like you get with some of the younger kids that show up and jump in and go race. We’ve had to start from scratch with me as a driver and with a completely new 410 program and it’s taking time to learn the ropes of this deal. But, I wouldn’t have it any other way. We keep on grinding every week, and every week we find something we could have been better at and get just that little bit much better. I’m excited for the future of this program. Do I think it’s going to take time? Absolutely. Will it be worth it? Without a doubt.” 

The upcoming Pennsylvania Speedweek will be the toughest series of races Keen has tackled in a 410 sprint car yet.  He sees it as another opportunity to learn and he’s ready for the challenge.

“Right now the priority is figuring out how to race well. We are piecing together the night on the front end, but right now we are struggling with the features. These guys are on it from the time they roll the car out of the trailer. I’m excited for when we get to that point. I really want to grow this team into a professional-looking operation with results to match. I’m excited to get there and can’t thank all of our partners who help us get to where we need to be.”, Keen said with a clear tone of determination and anticipation in his voice.

UP NEXT

Keen will tackle five nights of the upcoming Speedweek.  He will kick it off this Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway’s $10,000-to-win Speedweek opener.

Below is Kyle Keen Motorsports’ planned Speedweek schedule.

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing Set to Take on Four Nights of Racing During Annual PA Speedweek

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Newville, PA – June 26, 2024

by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing are set to tackle four nights of racing as part of the 2024 Pennsylvania Speedweek series. The team will compete in a pair of events at Williams Grove Speedway (Friday, June 28th and Friday, July 5th) along with stops at BAPS Motor Speedway (Sunday, June 30th) and Hagerstown Speedway (Thursday, July 4th).

The ultra-competitive series spans 10 days at seven different facilities and guarantees a minimum of $ 10,000 to win for all events. In addition to the winner’s share of race day payouts, there is a large series point fund along with a multitude of contingency prizes up for grabs at each event.

With most of Pennsylvania’s best competitors expected to at least compete in a handful of events and many outside invaders looking to cash in on the fun, Jackson and Hess will have their hands full in their rookie crack at the legendary series.

“I think Speedweek is a cool deal and it’s a good opportunity to get some laps and run for some good money,” said Jackson. “Obviously as the 10 days go on, more and more cars will be showing up, so it’s going to be a learning experience and the goal will be to get in the show at each track we head to.”

Jackson enters the historic series with some momentum on his side, as he scored a career-best second-place finish two weeks ago in 410 Sprint Car competition at ‘The Grove’ during a night that saw the Newville, PA native win a heat race and lead 20 laps of the A-main.

It’s confidence from a run like that that has Jackson anxious for what Speedweek presents. 

“Anytime you can lead some laps and contend for wins, you’ve got to feel good about what you’re doing and how you’re progressing,” he said. “We’re starting to figure out Williams Grove a bit and going forward it’s going to be the bulk of our attention in the 410. I’m looking forward to two nights there and hopefully building on the gains we’ve made in qualifying and heats.”

Along with a familiar stop at BAPS, which is a place Jackson has won several times in winged and wingless sportsman competition, the team will make a trip to a bit of a wildcard in Hagerstown. 

Traditionally more of a late model staple in the Central PA and Maryland racing community, the track can often throw curveballs and bring about unique winners during the series. Jackson is no different than most, as he’s only ever competed twice at the Maryland facility, picking up a win in wingless sportsman action along the way.

“We’ve had Hagerstown circled all year as we’ve got some good sponsors out that way and this gives us a chance to let them see us closer to home and hopefully, we can represent them well,” said Jackson. “Hagerstown can be slick, so it’s tough to know how our program will stack up there. I have won there once before, so I guess that’s on our side. We’re going to go in with an open mind, make some good laps, and hopefully at the end of the night we’ll be talking about a feature run.”

Cappetta Puts Together Another Top 10 Night; Always Room for Improvement

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Abbottstown, PA – June 26, 2024

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

The night started with a decent pill draw for Cappetta, putting her on the front row for the start of her heat race, “In the heat race felt good. It didn’t make much of a difference if I won versus finishing second, I’m just glad we could stay up front.”

Cappetta lined up on the outside of the front row for the feature on Saturday night, her best starting position of the season. There was a caution on the initial start, which meant the field lined up for a complete restart, “I was grateful for the second start because the first one was worse, but the motor stumbled on both starts.” Saturday was a scorcher and the heat and high temperatures played a big factor in the fuel system which is likely what caused the motor to act up. Despite the solid starting spot the feature was a frustrating one for Cappetta, “I couldn’t keep the car under me. If I would try to hit the bottom the car would skate up the track and I had my wing in the trunk by lap three.” Another piece of the puzzle that did not help things is the inconsistency of the tires, “it doesn’t allow for the right stagger for setups.”

“It sucks starting on the front row and then going backward like that. Every restart killed me because of the motor stumble and when I would try to slow the car down the motor stumble would kick in.” After 20 laps Cappetta crossed the line eighth, “If we would have stayed green I feel like we could have put together a top-five run. It just wasn’t our night, but I have to remind myself that we are still having a really good season compared to the last two.”

Another thing to factor into Saturday is that Cappetta and the entire race team worked all day, from 5:30 am to getting the car back to the stop after the car wash, “The team worked through the heat and we were all tired at the end of the night, but I couldn’t do it without them.”

Trever Feathers Rallies Late at Hagerstown’s Steel Block Clash

Hagerstown, MD – June 25, 2024

Trever Feathers opted to dust off his limited late model this past weekend and take it to Hagerstown Speedway where he had captured a win with that car earlier this season.  

Feathers has been supporting the Steel Block Clash series every chance he has gotten this year and Saturday’s $3,000-to-win installment was no different.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  June 22, 2024

  • Class:  Limited Late Model 
  • Track:  Hagerstown Speedway
  • City, State:   Hagerstown, MD
  • Stats:  33 cars, Group A Qualifying 5th, Heat 5th (3), A-main 6th (17)

EVERY POSITION MATTERS

Feathers got his night off on the right foot with the 5th quickest lap in Group A qualifying, putting his Team Zero Race Cars, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, George’s Used Cars, Martin’s Pumping, North River Farm, Feathers & Son’s Roofing, Leggett Engine Research, Coffelt Graphics, Shane McDowell Racing, Fox Racing Shox No.27 on the inside of row two for his heat race.

After some close-quarters racing for most of the opening lap of the heat race, Feathers took sole possession of 3rd place at the line.  Devin Hart challenged the Winchester, VA native for the spot, with the two swapping positions a couple times over the next two laps.  The battle allowed Kyle Lear to slip into 3rd just before a caution appeared with four laps remaining.

On the ensuing restart, Feathers moved into 4th before another exchange with Hart left him in 5th at the finish.  It was good enough to transfer to the A-main but it meant he would take the green from 17th instead of potentially as high as 9th had he been able to secure 3rd in the heat.

In the 30-lap feature, which clicked up without a caution in just over eleven minutes, Feathers put on a passing clinic.  With no breaks and no help to bunch the field, he worked his way methodically past another car about every 2.5 laps.

At the finish, Feathers had passed 11 cars for a 6th-place finish.

“This car really likes Hagerstown.”, Feathers said.  “We timed really well but even though we were fast, we didn’t get the finish we should have in the heat race, which would have put us in a better position to compete for at least a podium finish tonight.  I’ll just leave it at that.”

UP NEXT

Feathers will climb back behind the wheel of his No.20 super late model this week for two events.  Thursday, June 27th he will journey to Georgetown Speedway in Delaware.

Saturday night Feathers will have a much shorter trip to Winchester Speedway, just a few miles from his race shop in Virginia for the event that honors his great uncle, the Jimmy Spence Memorial.

Newlin Records 358 Podium Finish at Grove, Takes On Port Royal in 410

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Port Royal, PA – June 25, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Zach Newlin finally got to put a long-awaited two-race weekend under his belt for the first time during the 2024 season.  He has had plenty of those in the past during his successful 305 and 358 sprint car days but when you are working to build your own 410 sprint car team, they don’t come as easily or frequently.

Friday and Saturday he doubled-up with the Mansberger Motorsports 358 and his own 410 sprint car to get some quality seat time.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  June 21, 2024

  • Class:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Heat 4th (4), A-main 3rd (1)
 

DATE:  June 22, 2024

  • Class:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  28 cars, Qualifying 26th, Heat 9th (9), B-main 5th (8), A-main 23rd (23)

 

SO CLOSE

Friday night Newlin returned to the seat of the Mansberger Motorsports 358 sprint car for his 5th race of the year in the No.21m.  After starting the season with a runner-up finish, the team has battled bad draws, incidents, and handling issues as they have worked to get back to racing at the front of the pack.

Newlin kicked off the night by claiming a 4th place finish in his heat race, which was all he needed to put his team in the redraw.  

For a change, luck worked in Newlin’s favor and put him on the pole for the 25-lap Summer Series main event.

From the drop of the green, Newlin found himself in 2nd and chasing leader Adam Carberry.  Numerous times throughout the event the Millerstown, PA native pressured the leader but it seemed each time he was about to strike, the caution lights would come on.

Newlin tried a final charge in the closing laps but jumped the cushion and packed his right side wheels with mud.  Doug Hammaker took advantage of the opportunity to slip by, dropping Newlin to a 3rd-place finish.

“Those cautions sure didn’t help us tonight.  Seemed like every time I would catch Adam (Carberry) and be ready to challenge for the lead the yellow would come out.”, Newlin said of the podium run.

“I could catch him (Carberry) on entry but he was a little better off the corner than I was.  After the late caution, I knew I didn’t have many laps left, so I went to the cushion to try to build up some momentum for one last shot but that bit me.  I got over the cushion and packed some mud in the wheel.  That gave Doug (Hammaker) the chance to get under me.”

“I have to give a shout-out to my daughter for pulling the pole in the redraw.  We haven’t had much luck pulling pills this year, so it was nice to have a little luck for a change!”

DIALING IT IN

Newlin made his second appearance of the season and second in a row with his family-owned 410 sprint car at Port Royal Speedway Saturday night.

In his debut the week before, Newlin experienced electrical or ignition issues that hampered his efforts to begin to build a notebook for the Ron’s RV Sales, Butler Hill Maple Farm, Tuscarora Roofing, Dillman Hauling No.11z.

Although the team thought they had found the issue from the previous week, Newlin’s night got off to a tough start when the issue resurfaced.   As a result, he ranked 26th after qualifying and finished 9th in his heat. 

In the B-main things began to turn around.  Newlin charged from 8th to 5th by lap two and survived a restart after a caution to claim a transfer spot and put his bright green No.11z in its first A-main of the season.

Newlin exited the feature event after just seven laps when the problem returned.  He was credited with a 23rd-place finish.

“The caution in the B-main probably saved me.  The car started having issues again but it settled down during the caution and then ran well after that.”, Newlin commented.

“Unfortunately it started happening again early in the A-main.  We will get it figured out in the shop this week.”

UP NEXT

This weekend Newlin will climb back into the seat of the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway.

Newlin said the team will sit out of the upcoming Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Speedweek.

“We’re not equipped for time trial shows right now.  The engine we’re running is down on horsepower compared to most of these guys.  We have to be smart about when and where we race to get the most laps to develop our notebook and our program.”, Newlin shared.

Feathers Shines Early, Struggles in Final Stages at Lincoln

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Abbottstown, PA – June 17, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

The last time Trever Feathers visited Lincoln Speedway he ended the night standing in victory lane.  That was in October 2023 while Feathers was in the midst of a hot streak in his Team Zero Race Cars, McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, George’s Used Cars, Martin’s Pumping, North River Farm, Feathers & Son’s Roofing, Leggett Engine Research, Coffelt Graphics, Shane McDowell Racing, Fox Racing Shox No.20 super late model.

Since then Feathers has been trying to get the car dialed back in to the same level of comfort and performance he was demonstrating during that stretch.  What better place to do it than the site of your last dominating performance?

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  June 8, 2024

  • Class:  Super Late Model 
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  34 cars, Group 1 Qualifying 5th, Heat 1st (1), A-main 14th (9th)

GETTING CLOSER

Feathers kicked off the night with the 5th quickest lap in group one qualifying, positioning himself in the top tier of the 34 cars on hand.

Having earned the pole for his heat race, Feathers took full advantage of the opportunity and dominated his heat race, taking the win by a margin of nearly 2.5 seconds over the runner up.

It appeared Feathers was back in his comfort zone and ready to put the challenges of the recent weeks behind him.  He started 9th in the 35-lap feature event and raced inside the top ten through the first ten laps.

As the race neared the midpoint, Feathers lost some ground to the front-runners and slid back to 12th.  Two more positions were lost over the final dozen laps, putting the Winchester, VA native 14th in the final rundown.  

It was a disappointing result for Feathers and the team after an impressive start to the night but overall, it was a positive night for Feathers and his team.

“We just flat-out missed it (the setup) for the feature.”, Feathers said.  “The car was really good all night.  We had a better car than our results show.”

“The track was different than when we were here in October.  We didn’t have 410’s (sprint cars) here that night, so I’m sure that has something to do with it.  The surface was dirtier tonight.”

“There are definitely some positives to take away tonight.  We had been fighting a front-end/steering issue most of this season but we finally got that under control.  We probably over-compensated for that in our feature setup and we shouldn’t have.”

Feathers changed his original plans and opted to skip the series finale at BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday.  That decision was based solely on how hard the team had worked over the previous week and a half.  Long hours in the shop, a Wednesday test session at BAPS Motor Speedway, and three races, all in the span of eight days were enough to warrant a break so everyone on the team could enjoy their Father’s Day.

UP NEXT

Feathers will return to Port Royal Speedway this Saturday, June 22nd.

Cappetta Looking Ahead; Putting Tough Weekend Behind Her

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Abbottstown, PA – June 14, 2024

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Saturday night’s Elijah Hawkins Memorial at Lincoln Speedway was not the best night of the season for Cappetta and the team, but Ashley looks at the night as a learning experience and an opportunity to regroup and make adjustments for the next race.

“The pill draw wasn’t terrible but it was enough to put me in the back of the heat race.” Track conditions did not help Cappetta’s efforts to move forward in her heat, “The track was really dry by the time we went out. Turns 1 and 2 were really slick and you had to hit the bottom of the corner just right.” Cappetta lined up sixth for the heat race and finished fourth, one spot shy of the redraw, “I made a two-car pass in the first turn and then settled in. I was hoping to make the invert but with the way the track was it was hard to get up to where we needed to be.” 

Ashley lined up 15th for the start of the feature, “On the initial start I got up to 13th after passing two cars in the first turn.” Unfortunately for Cappetta, the initial start was called back and the complete restart did not go as well, “On the second start I got shuffled back and got stuck behind someone. I had a lot of wheel spin off the turns and the car wasn’t good enough to move ahead.” Anytime Cappetta would get up to pass someone they would pass her back coming off turn 4. Cappetta continued to have pain in her hand and it amped up during the feature, “Overall it really wasn’t a good night, but the team will make some adjustments for the next race and regroup and work to do better.” Ashley crossed the line 16th to close out the 20-lap feature. 

After starting off the season strong Cappetta and the team will look to rebound and pick up where they left off at Lincoln on June 22.

Hartlaub Nets Podium Finish, Gelling Quickly with Trone 39 Team

East Berlin, PA – June 14, 2024

As the month of May came to a close, Kody Hartlaub embarked on an opportunity that arose after a hard crash left him short of equipment.

He would pilot the Trone No.39 for at least a few weeks to fill the void.  After that, well, that would be a bridge to be crossed when the time came.

DEBUT WEEKEND

The opening weekend for Hartlaub and the Trone team had a couple of glimpses of potential with a 7th-place qualifying effort and a 3rd-place heat race finish at Lincoln.  With full fields both nights, the feature finishes, 17th and 15th, were respectable for a new venture.

For Hartlaub, the first two races, and maybe even the first few weeks, would not be about stats and finishes.  It would be about developing a working chemistry and communication with his new team.  

Transitions like this typically lead to a lot of adjustments.  The driver sometimes adjusts his approach a little to accommodate a crew chief and more often a team makes equipment and setup changes to make their new driver comfortable. 

Opening night at Williams Grove Speedway adjustments were ongoing throughout the night.  The same was true the following night at Lincoln Speedway.  It was all in the name of finding the right combination to be fast together.

SPEEDY PROGRESS

Heading into their second weekend together, the team, led by crew chief Kevin Frey, assembled a new car for Hartlaub.  The effort clearly was worth it.

Hartlaub kicked off the night with an impressive Friday night drive from 5th to 2nd in his heat race to earn the 4th starting spot for the A-main.

In the 25-lap finale, Hartlaub was again impressive.  He grabbed the 3rd spot on the opening lap and found his rhythm.  On lap nine, the Littlestown (PA) native grabbed the runner-up spot and set his sights on leader Cameron Smith.

With a few circuits remaining, defending track champion Freddie Rahmer wrestled the runner-up spot away from Hartlaub who ultimately brought the Trone No.39 home with a podium finish in 3rd.

Hartlaub wrapped up his weekend at Lincoln Speedway the following night where the results continued to be encouraging for East Berlin (PA) resident in his first full 410 sprint car season.  He timed 6th quickest in the field.

In heat race action, Hartlaub continued to impress by logging a 2nd place finish behind veteran Lucas Wolfe.

In the nightcap, Hartlaub started 9th and brought home a very respectable top-ten finish.  

UP NEXT

Discussions were held this week about the path forward.  The result:  Hartlaub will remain in the car through the end of the year and his partners will be right there with him.

“I want to add a huge thank you to my sponsors, J Fuels and Brewer first and foremost, for allowing me to do this and following me with this venture.”, Hartlaub said.

Hartlaub and the Trone 39 team will return to Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway this Friday and Saturday.
