Baker River Racing (BRR), an ambitious and community-focused racing team led by Adrian and Becky Tetreault, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Addicted2Dirt (A2D) PR & Media Management. This collaboration aims to amplify BRR’s marketing and promotional efforts, enhancing the team’s visibility and attracting valuable partnerships in the highly competitive racing industry.

ABOUT BRR

Baker River Racing has built a solid reputation through their dedication to racing and community involvement. With an established presence in racing, including notable achievements such as Rookie of the year racing a D2 midget with the USAC DMA club, BRR is set to leverage the expertise of A2D PR to further expand their reach. This partnership signifies a mutual dedication to fostering strong audience engagement and securing strategic sponsorships to support the team’s racing endeavors.

“Partnering with Addicted2Dirt PR is an important step in advancing Baker River Racing’s mission to achieve both our racing and community goals. With A2D’s expertise and our passion for racing, we are poised to make a stronger impact on and off the tracks,” stated Adrian Tetreault, co-founder of Baker River Racing.

ABOUT A2D

Addicted2Dirt founder, Rich “MrAddicted2Dirt” Watts, brings extensive PR experience within the dirt motorsports industry, providing teams like BRR with the tools and strategies needed to thrive. “We are excited to work with Baker River Racing, a team that shares our dedication to community engagement and competitive performance,” said Watts.

“Adrian reached out to us with an idea and we sensed his energy and commitment right away.  We have been interested in expanding into the Mid-South region and he wanted to get the tools to grow his team’s resources, so this deal is a win for both of us.”

BAKER RIVER RACING’S HISTORY

Baker River Racing’s history traces back to the early 2000s, beginning with 500cc wingless Mini Sprints at Winchester Speedpark in New Hampshire.  The team made the long haul from their home in Connecticut to race there every weekend.

As the team evolved, they transitioned through various racing disciplines, including 270 micros and Mini Stocks, before focusing on asphalt racing at venues like Waterford Speedbowl in Connecticut. After a brief hiatus from active racing, Adrian reignited his passion and the team purchased a D2 midget, earning accolades such as Rookie of the Year with the USAC DMA club. 

“We moved to Mississippi a couple years ago.  There’s no midget racing here, so we had the bright idea to buy an open 305 sprint car and I’m glad we did. It’s the most fun I have had in a car ever!,” Adrian explained with a broad smile.

Now focused on open sprint car racing, Baker River Racing competes primarily at Riverside International Speedway and other tracks across the Midwest and South, balancing their competitive aspirations with meaningful community engagements.

2025 PLANS

BRR’s schedule this season will primarily consist of races at Riverside Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas and Benton Speedway in Missouri, with select USCS and ASCS shows added in.

The team will start the year off racing with the United Sprint Car Series (USCS), competing on February 28th & March 1st at Hattiesburg Speedway in it’s Mississippi namesake town, followed by a two-day event March 21st and 22nd at Magnolia Motor Speedway in Columbus, MS.  

Adrian also shared the team’s goal of traveling in 2025 to places like Volusia and All-Tech Speedways in Florida, as well as Deep South Speedway (AL), Greenville Speedway (MS), Benton Speedway (MO) and Crowley’s Ridge (AR).

“We are looking to run as often as our budget and real job allow.” he shared.

Reinhardt Stepping Out of the Seat, Set To Serve as Crew Chief and Mentor in 2025

Kyle Reinhardt has made the decision to step out of the seat as a full-time racer.

Life, work, and racing have continued to evolve in recent years for the Neptune City, NJ native who moved to Pennsylvania to go full-time racing in 2019, leading him to a crossroads.

THE DECISION

 “I feel good about the decision I have made and the direction I am heading moving forward.”, Reinhardt said.  

“I checked off a lot of boxes.  I achieved my goals of racing professionally, hitting the road with a series, and winning All-Star races all by working hard for it.  I didn’t come from money and I didn’t have the benefit of a fully-funded operation, so I’m proud of accomplishing all that and more.” 

There are a number of factors that led Reinhardt to this decision but the bottom line is if he can’t do it at 100%, he’s not going to do it.  

“I can’t give 100% to both my job at Capitol (Custom Trailers and Coaches) and to my race team at the same time and race at the level I want to race at.  It’s too much effort to not be racing with a 100% focus on driving, so I don’t feel it’s fair to the people that support me.”, Reinhardt commented.

Reinhardt also isn’t interested in racing less to make it all work.  To be sharp and competitive at the level he expects, he believes it’s necessary to race 60-70 times a year.  He also pointed to some of the unseen stresses.

“There’s a lot of stress in finding help at the shop and the track, finding funding, and keeping everything prepared at a top-notch level.”, Reinhardt shared.  

COMMITMENT

Reinhardt isn’t just being cliche about the difference giving 100% to something can make.  He has already demonstrated it in his own career.

In 2019, when he quit his mechanical engineering job in New Jersey to move to Pennsylvania to race, he immediately proved his point.

He won several races in John Westbrook’s No.1w 360 sprint car and captured the Selinsgrove Speedway track championship in the division.

He also recorded his first 410 sprint car win, which came at Port Royal Speedway’s Labor Day Classic.  The following year he won the 410 points title at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Reinhardt went on to collect wins with the All Star Circuit of Champions over the next few seasons and he closed out 2023 with the biggest and most satisfying win of his career.  He captured the checkered flag and $15,000 payday at Bridgeport Speedway’s Oktober fest, but it wasn’t the check that was so satisfying.  It was winning in a 410 sprint car race in his home state in front of his family and friends.

“That night was definitely the most satisfying win I’ve ever had.  There are so few 410 sprint car races in New Jersey, so the odds of winning one are so tough.  I always wanted to win one there and we got it done.”, Reinhardt said.

APPRECIATION

Reinhardt expressed his appreciation for everyone who has supported him to make all of those things possible.

“I want to thank my family who have been there helping make racing possible for me since day one, and of course, thank you to my wife, Kate, for her constant support through all the long hours, time on the road, good days, and bad days.”, Reinhardt said.

“Thank you to my brother, David, for all the hours and effort he has put in.  Capitol Custom Trailers and Wayne Quackenbush made it all possible over the last seven years and I can’t thank them enough.”

“I appreciate every sponsor and individual who helped me get to where I am now.  I couldn’t have gotten here without Henry’s Wrecker Service, Coors Banquet Beer & Ace Distributing, EZGO Golf Carts, Golf Cart Services and all my product sponsors who have stuck with me over the years.”

“I also want to give a special thanks to Scott and Josette McClaren, who gave me my first first opportunity in a sprint car.  Thank you to (the late) Bruce and Margaret Kindberg and John Westbrook for giving me the chance to wheel their cars.  We had a lot of success together.  Also, thanks to (the late) Jeff McCall for taking me on the road.  Last but certainly not least, thanks to Chris Shuttlesworth for all his hard work over the years.” 

THE NEXT CHAPTER

While Reinhardt may be putting his helmet on the shelf, the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers No.91 will continue on.

The Neptune City, NJ native will turn the wrenches on his familiar machine, plus he will serve as a mentor to the new pilot who will take the wheel.

“We already have a deal in place for someone to take the seat for 2025”, Reinhardt said.

“I know I can still get it done behind the wheel but I’m ready to share what I’ve learned to help guide the development of a younger driver and this role will allow me to still be a part of the sport in a way that fits my life right now.”

Kyle Keen Motorsports Tabs Mark Smith as Crew Chief and Mentor for 2025 Season

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Carlisle, PA – December 3, 2024

When the 2023 season opened, Kyle Keen’s plan was to race a mixed schedule of 358 and 410 sprint car races to provide himself with the opportunity to begin gaining experience at the higher level while keeping the team’s budget and resources viable.

It didn’t take long for circumstances to change his plans.  By April he had revised the plan, and dove into the deep end of the pool, going 410 sprint car racing for the remainder of the season, ultimately making 24 starts in the division.

There was no shortage of learning each night he hit the track but on the highly competitive Central Pennsylvania sprint car circuit a long learning curve can be an expensive proposition for a team.

With that in mind, as Keen prepares to enter his sophomore season in the top winged sprint car class, he has made a move to help himself and his team accelerate the learning curve.

ENTER EXPERIENCE

Mark Smith, a long-time successful sprint car driver with roughly 200 career wins to his credit, has joined Kyle Keen Motorsports (KKM) as crew chief for the 2025 season.

In addition to his crew chief duties, Smith will serve as a top-notch mentor for Keen who has only been behind the wheel for a few years, beginning in 305 sprint cars in 2019.  The Carlisle, PA native made the move to 358 sprint cars in 2022, then 410 sprint cars in 2024.

“Mark has a ton of experience behind the wheel, setting up these cars, fabrications, shocks, maintenance and so much more.  He knows every aspect of these cars.  That knowledge will benefit me behind the wheel and the entire team with understanding these cars.”, Keen said.

“Having Mark will allow me to focus on driving and improving myself behind the wheel.  He will make our cars better and he will certainly make me better with his advice on making decisions behind the wheel and my approach to situations I face.”

Smith’s career has spanned many years from his beginnings in go-karts, then Super Sportsman and eventually 360 and 410 sprint cars.  He has competed with nearly every high-profile organization, including the World of Outlaws (WoO), United Sprint Car Series (USCS), All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC), United Racing Club (URC), and more.

Smith hasn’t given up strapping into the cockpit himself.  He will still compete behind the wheel in 2025 but will set his driving schedule around his new role with KKM.

GOOD FIT

“Mark is a great fit personality wise for our team.  We have a relationship that goes back over 20 years to when he drove for my dad with Barry Jackson as crew chief.”, Keen said.

In addition, Keen drove Smith’s Mach 1 Chassis’ when he started in 305 sprint cars.  Smith is the owner of Mach 1 Chassis and frequently competes in 360 and 410 sprint car competition with great success in his own brand.

Keen had a goal of adding experience to the team this offseason for a number of reasons on and off the track.  Along with the aforementioned racing benefits of adding Smith, Keen and his wife are expecting their first child in the coming months, plus his day job keeps him hustling.

Fans can look for Keen and 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 to campaign regularly at Port Royal Speedway in 2025, as well as the majority of the BAPS Motor Speedway shows.  The team will look to add other events to their schedule as the season unfolds.
