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.

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.

Newlin Makes Progress Late at Grove for Mansberger Motorsports

Mechancisburg, PA – September 18, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos Photography

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!

Feathers Wins Winchester Limited Lates For Brad Omps

Winchester, VA – September 18, 2023

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

DATE:  September 15, 2023

  • Event:  Nichole Hess Tribute Race
  • Track:  Winchester Speedway
  • City, State:   Winchester, VA
  • Quick Stats:  20 cars, Qualifying 1st, Heat 2nd (1), A-main 1st (6)

 

TWO IN A ROW

Exactly one week after his super late model win at Port Royal Speedway, Feathers made a rare limited late model start Friday night.

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.”

Berry Scores Top Ten Finish in Last Minute Schedule Addition

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.

Stay tuned to Austin’s social media outlets and Addicted2DirtPR.com/Events for schedule updates and announcements.

News Coming Soon on PanCan Raffle Items and 2024 Season Kickoff Party Tickets

With the season coming to a close, Berry will be raffling off the team’s tail banner that has been used all season to cover the rear suspension of the car, plus his special edition Pancreatic Cancer Awareness racing gloves.  Details will be coming soon on how to enter.  All proceeds will go to charity.

In January, Austin Berry Racing will host their annual season kickoff party which features great food, prizes and a live band.  The popular event sold out last year with just over 300 fans attending.  It was a fun event for all who attended and a big success for the team.  Stay tuned for more information about that event in the coming months.

Reinhardt Gets Good Start at Tuscarora 50 Before Rain Hits

All Stars Jim Ford Classic at Fremont On Tap

Port Royal, PA – September 12, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos Photography

Kyle Reinhardt rolled into Port Royal Speedway with the Grove Racing team carrying the momentum of three straight top five finishes and five top ten finishes in seven starts with the team.

With a lot of cash on the line over a three day period, Reinhardt was in the best position he had ever been to claim a nice share of the money Port Royal was putting up for the 56th Annual Tuscarora 50.

Before he could even get started, one of his three chances was washed away by rain when Thursday’s opener was cancelled.  That still left Friday’s $10,000 to win show and the $60,000 (increased from its original $56,000) to win Tuscarora 50.

NIGHT BEFORE THE 50

The All Star five heat group format was in play for the 48 teams on hand Friday night at Port Royal Speedway.  Reinhardt turned the 5th quickest lap in his group.  With only four transferring from each heat, he would need to move forward to get in the show.

After a strong start, an issue developed and Reinhardt faded to a 7th place finish in the Grove Racing, Capitol Renegade, Bakers Mobile Home Transport, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.45.

Starting deep in the B-main (13th), Reinhardt needed to get to the top four to race his way into the A-main.  He managed a 10th place finish.

The team used an available provisional to start the A-main.  Reinhardt was able to move forward a few spots to a 21st place finish in the 30-lap Friday finale.

We weren’t very good in qualifying, then we had an issue in our heat.  Hard to dig out of a hole like that with so many good cars here.“, Reinhardt said.  

TUSCARORA 50

Saturday evening the program began under sunny skies but with an unfavorable forecast, just like Friday night’s show.  The Tuscarora 50 format split the 49 cars into two groups for time trials.

Reinhardt turned the 10th quickest lap in Group B, a nice improvement over Friday’s lap.

The qualifying effort earned Reinhardt the pole for heat number four with the top three finishers transferring to the A-main, but unlike the night before, the skies did not cooperate.  Moments after time trials were completed, the rain came.  They didn’t let up for hours, forcing officials to postpone the event.

When the Tuscarora 50 is rescheduled, the program will start over.  A makeup date for the event has not been announced yet.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Hart’s Stellar Year Continues With Emotional Win and Track Championship

Hagerstown’s Small Car Nationals Up Next

Port Royal, PA – September 12, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Devin Hart said two things coming into the 2023 season.  

First, his main goal was to win the Butch Renninger Memorial, a race held annually at Port Royal Speedway in honor of his grandfather.  A win in that personally important race has eluded him in his first nine years in a limited late model.

Second, he had no plans to race for points.  Instead, he would race where it made sense for his team and they would take a shot at some of the bigger races when they could.

You might think we’re about to tell you he accomplished his goals.  Well, you’re right.  He did.  But in doing so, he managed to win a points championship too.

FINALLY!

Hart has raced a limited late model since 2014 and he has won a lot of races at Port Royal Speedway during the years since he started, but in nine attempts to win the Butch Renninger Memorial he had not been able to be the first one to the checkered flag.

He certainly had been close though.  As a matter of fact, his stats are astoundingly good in the race.  In his first nine attempts at the Renninger Memorial Hart had finished on the podium five times and in the top five a total of seven times.  

He just had not won it yet.  Hart didn’t think it was possible to want to win it more than he did but the desire grew deeper every time he came up just short.

With 31 cars on hand, there were plenty of good teams who were there with the same goal.  Hart made it clear in his heat race he was ready to give it his best shot again.  He drove from 4th to the lead on the opening lap and never looked back, taking the win by 3.2 seconds in his Lucky Buck, Hungry Run Wine Cellars, FK Rod Ends, JDS Racing, Penske Racing Shocks, Barron’s Racing Engines, Centre Boot Company, Gridiron Pizza & Gridiron Pub, Harling’s Hoagies, Brown’s Automotive, Rocket Chassis XR1 No.33k.

Hart started 3rd in the 25-lap feature event and jumped into 2nd on the opening lap.  For the next 18 trips around the Juniata County Fairgrounds half-mile oval, he pursued leader Spike Moore, trying to find a way to the top spot.  With nine laps remaining he pulled alongside Moore and the race was on in lapped traffic.

On lap twenty he made the pass by driving under Moore into turn three to take command of the race.  Only five laps, 2.5 miles, remained between Hart and the goal that mattered more to him than anything in racing.  While he tried to hit his marks and keep Moore at bay, his entire family held their collective breath.

With four laps remaining, the caution lights flashed on and forced Hart to deal with a restart.

Hart survived the restart and drove a smooth final three laps.

Finally, it happened.  Hart crossed the line first, with a 1.282 second advantage, to win his grandfather’s race.

I can’t believe this just happened.”, an emotional Hart said as he was congratulated by cousin Trent Brenneman in victory lane.  Brenneman, who is also family to the late Butch Renninger, had also come up short on winning the race over the years and shared in Hart’s desire to someday win it.

I can’t believe we just won this thing.  Every year everyone tells Trent and me it’s just another race but it’s not.  You can’t come in here with that mentality.  I’ve tried it and it doesn’t work.“, Hart explained to Port Royal Speedway announcer Brad Strawser.

My whole family is here every year making this race happen.  This is the 20th year now remembering my pap.  Everybody knows what a great guy he was around these fairgrounds.  I have to thank everyone on my crew, my family who always supports me, and of course my wife who lets me do this every week.

 

THE UNPLANNED CHAMPIONSHIP

As Hart had stated in March of this year, he had no plans to race for points.  He had been there and done that before.  He won the track championship at both Port Royal Speedway and Selinsgrove Speedway in 2021.  This year he was thinking more about winning at tracks he had not won at before and hopefully winning a couple of the bigger events he had not won before.

By April 7th this year, Hart already had wins at Winchester (VA), Port Royal (PA) and Bedford (PA).  He ventured to Hagerstown (MD) on April 8th and qualified up front before the show rained out.

The way the schedule worked out, Hart’s option on April 15th was Hagerstown.  He finished 3rd that night.  On May 6th he returned to Hagerstown because they were running the makeup feature from April 8th that he had already qualified for, plus a full show.  That night he collected a win and a runner up finish.

The season reached mid-June and Hart had already raced six times at Hagerstown, versus two at Port Royal, plus a few other one-off races.  It was all a result of rain outs and scheduling options, but the bottom line was that Hart was now in command of the point standings at Hagerstown.  

He was also on top at Port Royal, so Hart figured he would pick the races he wanted to run, where ever they were, and things would shake out on their own.

One of the races Hart wanted to win in July was a Steel Block Bandits race, which was…where else…Hagerstown.  He gave it a shot and finished 2nd in that race.  

Ultimately, Hart rolled into Hagerstown Speedway on September 1st for their final points races of the season looking to clinch the championship that he never intended to pursue.

He didn’t back into the title either.  That night he drove from 4th to 1st to win his heat, then led every lap of the feature to clinch the title with his third win there this season.  Hart’s worst finish in eleven races at the Maryland facility coming into that night was 5th, and he had only been off the podium two times in those eleven races.  He had been astoundingly consistent.

We never set out to do this but the way things fell into place, when we reached mid-summer, I figured why not try to win one here.  It was something I had not done before, so I’m pretty proud of that, especially when we were able to clinch it with a win and run so consistently here all year.”, Hart shared.

 

UP NEXT

Hart and the KHK Motorsports team will be at Hagerstown Speedway Saturday, September 15th for the Late Model Sportsman portion of the Small Car Nationals.

Trever Feathers Scores Convincing Victory at Port Royal

Limited Late Model Racing Planned This Weekend

Port Royal, PA – September 12, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Photo Info:  Three Generations: Bo [L], Trever [C] and Wayne Feathers [R] in victory lane at Port Royal Speedway after Trever’s win on 9/8/23

Since debuting his Team Zero Bloomquist by Shane McDowell ride in early July, Trever Feathers had accumulated an average finish of 4.8 at Port Royal Speedway over a span of five main events.

That’s quite an improvement over his average finish of 14th in his first six races of the season at ‘The Speed Palace’, which were in a different chassis brand.

Feathers had nabbed one victory back in early August and as he headed to Port Royal for the final super late model race of the season on September 2nd, his sights were set solely on getting another one.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 8, 2023

  • Event:  Final Points Race
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  18 cars, Qualifying 3rd, A-main 1st (4)

 

BEATING THE WEATHER

Threatening weather combined with a rare Friday night race at Port Royal Speedway as part of the Night Before the 50 program left the Central Pennsylvania oval with a lower than usual car count in the super late model pit area.  That said, the phrase quality over quantity came to mind as the field contained the usual tough competitors such as Eckert, Yoder, Rine, and Stuhler.

The weather also played a role in the format for the night.  Teams were presented with an option to time trial and race a feature, skipping the usual heat races.  The plan would give teams a much better chance of completing their feature and earning a paycheck, rather than drag the program out and risk getting rained out.  The plan was adopted and set into motion.

Feathers got his night off on the right foot by ripping around the big fairgrounds half-mile in 19.024 seconds, good enough for 3rd quickest in his McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, Larry Royston’s Septic Services, Martins Pumping Service, Feathers & Sons Roofing, North River Farm, Leggett Engine Research, Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Team Zero Race Cars, Shane McDowell Racing, Coffelt Graphics, Larry Royston Properties, Larry Royston Equipment, Fox Racing Shox, Bo Feathers Racing, Clem’s Garage, No.20.

 

IN CONVINCING FASHION

The format called for a 6-car inversion for the feature, so Feathers took his spot outside row two for the 25-lap main event.  From the drop of the green, he assumed the runner-up spot behind leader Drake Troutman.  That pursuit continued to the halfway point of the race, with Feathers alongside Troutman’s No.7 several times but unable to lead at the line.

The caution appeared for a lapped car that spun in turn four right in front of the side by side Troutman/Feathers battle.  Both drivers were able to avoid the spinning car but then under caution, Troutman’s No.7 rolled to a stop on the high side of turn three with a mechanical issue.

With a few light, intermittent sprinkles floating down from the sky, the race resumed.  Feathers was in command and he would not be challenged.  He drove away from the field to a dominating win by 4.123 seconds over Dylan Yoder who was followed across the line by Rick Eckert, Jeff Rine and Hayes Mattern.

This car has been unbelievable.  The information we are getting from Shane McDowell and Bryan Conrad, Chris Ferguson’s dad, has been huge.  It’s so much fun to drive.“, Feathers said.

I wanted to slide him (Drake Troutman) into three but he was carrying so much speed I figured that wouldn’t work, so I just kept the pressure on him hoping he would slip up.  I hate that for him that he broke.  He’s a really good kid.  It’s fun racing with him.  It’s hard to believe he’s only 18 years old.  He races us clean and we race him with respect too.” Feathers shared when asked about his door to door racing with the young Troutman.

Feathers, a third generation racer, was joined in victory lane by his father and grandfather, Bo and Wayne Feathers.  Both have solid racing resumes of their own.

Thank you to Shane and Sarah McDowell, Bryan Conrad, my uncle Jimmy, my granddad, Larry and Lisa Royston, my mom and dad, all my guys who work so hard all week long.  I also want to thank Rick Leggett and John Coffelt for making us look good.

Last but not least, I want to give a huge thank you to Barnes Custom Painting in the Winchester, VA area.  They helped us immensely with our tire bill this week and we greatly appreciate that.  It takes everyone who helps us for us to do what we do.  We don’t take any of our partners for granted.

 

MOVING ON UP

The win moved Feathers into 2nd in the Championship Point Standings to finish the season behind the 2023 Champion, Eckert.

It was a big night for us…to end the season that way with a win and move into second in the final points.  Both pay pretty well, so that definitely helps us out financially.  We appreciate what Port Royal (Speedway) does for teams.“, Feathers commented.

 

UP NEXT

Tuesday night, September 12th, Feathers will appear live on The NEW Turn 5 Turn Around‘s Facebook show at 6:30pm EST when the show visit the Feathers Racing’s shop as part of their series of race shop visits.  You will hear about the team’s recent speed, upcoming plans and more!

When the weekend comes, as he did a few times in recent years, Feathers will strap into Brad Omps Limited Late Model this weekend at Winchester Speedway in Virginia on Friday night.  The pair might travel to Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland on Saturday night for the Small Car Nationals but a firm decision has not been made yet.

Kody Hartlaub Bounces Back Saturday at Lincoln After Costly Mistake Friday at Williams Grove

Team Returning to Williams Grove September 15th for Next 358 Race

Abbottstown, PA – September 11, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

The month of September opened with yet another two-race weekend for Kody Hartlaub.  After an impressive top ten run in his 410 sprint car the week before, this time it was all about his team’s primary focus this year, the 358 sprint car.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 1, 2023

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  28 cars, Heat 6th (8), A-main 19th (17)

 

DATE:  September 2, 2023

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  24 cars, Heat 2nd (3), A-main 2nd (9)

 

PAYING THE PRICE

Hartlaub was among a field of 28 drivers set to do battle Friday night, September 1st at Williams Grove Speedway.  The heat lineups were set using a handicapping system, which put point leader Hartlaub outside the fourth row.  That improved to outside row three when two lesser experienced drivers opted to start at the rear of the field.

By the time one lap was complete, Hartlaub was already 4th and poised for more when the caution appeared.  On the ensuing restart, he dove into turn one but the hole he thought he saw closed quickly.

With little time to adjust, Hartlaub spun and was collected another car.  He pushed off and restarted at the back of the pack, but the car was wounded.  He managed to finish 6th to transfer into the A-main in 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.

There was significant damage to the front suspension but with help from Steve Owings, Doug Hammaker and others, the team patched the car back together to put Hartlaub on track for the feature.

Hartlaub’s car wasn’t its competitive self though and the East Berlin, PA driver just survived to salvage a 19th place finish.

I made a mistake and paid for it.“, Hartlaub said of the misjudged passing attempt in the heat race.  “I owe a big thanks to Steve Owings, Doug Hammaker and everyone else that came down to help us salvage what we could in the feature.

Upon returning to the shop late Friday night, the team spent several hours swapping their 358 motor into their 410 sprint car so they could race at Lincoln Saturday night.

A MUCH BETTER DAY

Saturday night, September 2nd, brought 24 teams to Lincoln Speedway and a pill draw put Hartlaub in row two for his heat race.  He quickly secured a handicap spot for the feature with a 2nd place finish in the qualifying race.

The handicapping system put Hartlaub 9th on the grid for the 20-lap A-main.  In a steady, workmanlike effort, he methodically chipped his way toward the front, breaking into the top five on lap eleven.

A few laps later, Hartlaub claimed 3rd and on the final circuit took the runner up spot away from veteran Frankie Herr.  

It was Hartlaub’s 12th top five finish in 20 starts this season in the 358 sprint car ranks.

Thank you to my crew, Kevin And Stacy Hartlaub, Austin Funk, Pat Brewer, and David Hartlaub Jr. for the long hours to get it turned around so we could be here tonight.“, Harlaub said.

UP NEXT

Hartlaub will return to action at a two-race weekend at Williams Grove Speedway on September 15th, followed by Lincoln Speedway September 16th.

SEASON STATS

358 SPRINTS:  20 races, 2 wins, 12 top 5’s, 17 top 10’s, 18 top 15’s

Kyle Keen entered September coming off a top five finish at Lincoln Speedway and only wanted one thing:  to put together a complete weekend.

That was something that had been tough to accomplish in 2023.  It seemed every good run had been followed by issues so far this season.

Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedways were set to provide Keen with the opportunity to change that pattern as the season entered the home stretch.

WEEKEND KICKOFF

Williams Grove attracted a field of 28 cars Friday night for their regular 358 sprint car show.  The heat lineups were set using a handicap format, which put Kyle Keen and his Fine Line Auto Body, Keen Parts/CorvetteParts.net, Doubling Gap Ranch, Shetron, Auction & Equipment, LLC., Wicked Dog Grille, Heishman Racing Fuels, Wicked Cushion, DL Lehman Construction, Gearhead Coffee, Jeremy Zarfos Photography, Coyle’s Lawn Maintenance, 2B Wrapped, 4 Leaf Clover Farms, Turn 2 Terribles Podcast & Media, Kyle Keen Motorsports No.17k on the pole as a result of his partial schedule at the track.

On the initial start, Keen was called for jumping the start and was penalized to 3rd for the second attempt to start the race.  He quickly drove back into 2nd and began to challenge the leader but couldn’t get past and settled for the runner-up finish.

Keen lined up 4th for the 20-lap feature and immediately charged into 2nd as the field entered turn three on the opening lap.  At the halfway point, the Carlisle, PA native was in 4th.  He was still holding down that spot with six laps remaining when the caution lights flashed on.

On the ensuing restart, Keen’s No.17k was not the same.  He slipped backwards in the closing laps and finished 8th.

Not sure what happened on the restart, but the car went completely away.  It was like the tires sealed over.  I lost all grip.”, Keen shared.

Disappointed we went backwards the last few laps after having such a strong run going.  Was scratching my head after the restart, but we’ll notch another top 10 under our belt and keep moving forward.”

 

NOT AGAIN

Keen was looking to put together a full weekend of positive results when he rolled into Lincoln Speedway Saturday night on the heels of Friday’s top ten finish at Williams Grove.

Unfortunately, once again he encountered some tough luck.  After starting 2nd in his heat race, Keen was involved in an accident that destroyed the team’s only remaining car.

The incident not only put an end to Keen’s night, it put an end to his season.

The 17k will sadly be done for the remainder of the season and we will turn our attention to preparing for 2024.  I want to say thank you to all our friends, family and sponsors who work so hard to keep our race car on the racetrack.“, Keen said.

I’m really disappointed because I felt the last few weeks, we have shown some pretty good speed.  There are some exciting things happening for next year we can’t wait to share with everyone.

Berry Having Success and Fun Finishing Season in Limited Late Model

After Two Top Fives, Team Looking To Race More Limited Shows Before Season Ends

Selinsgrove, PA – September 7, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

August was an especially tough month for Austin Berry.  After two blown super late model engines in three weeks, he had to put an unplanned early end to his super late model season.

A couple days later his phone rang.  A friend was offering the use of his spare limited late model engine.  Berry said thank you but passed on the offer.  He didn’t want to risk anything happening to the engine on his watch.

The friend called two more times that week and the last time didn’t take no for answer.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 2, 2023

  • Event:  Butch Renninger Memorial
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Division:  Limited Late Model
  • Quick Stats:  31 cars, Qualifying 5th in Group 2, Heat 3rd (5), A-main 4th (10)

 

DATE:  September 3, 2023

  • Event:  Labor Day Special
  • Track:  Selinsgrove Speedway
  • City, State:   Selinsgrove, PA
  • Division:  Limited Late Model
  • Quick Stats:  25 cars, Heat 1st (6), A-main 2nd (3)

 

NEW BUT FAMILIAR

Berry entered his first career night of limited late model competition with uncertainties about how his car’s setup would need to differ from what he was used to with more power under the hood and how his driving style might need to change to make 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 competitive.

The format for the Butch Renninger Memorial at Port Royal Speedway tossed Berry into the deep end of the pool from the start.  Group time trials during hot laps meant no practice, no time to adjust.  

Berry turned the 5th quickest lap in his group, then used the time before his heat race to make adjustments.  He made the right moves and drove from 5th to 3rd in his heat race.

Rolling to the green from the 10th position for the 25 lap main event, Berry went right to work moving toward the front.  He cracked the top five just past the halfway mark of the race.  He secured a 4th place finish in the closing laps to take home a top five finish in his first attempt in the division.

LOOKING PRETTY COMFORTABLE

With a very solid first night under his belt, Berry decided to make the trip north on Route 35 the following night to Selinsgrove Speedway.

Berry quickly proved his first night was no fluke.  From his 6th starting spot in his 8-lap heat race, he drove into 2nd on lap two and on lap seven he claimed the lead.  He went on to take his first limited late model heat race win.

The redraw put Berry on the inside of row two for the 20-lap main event.  He settled into the runner up spot during the opening laps then jumped into an early lead.

Berry survived several restarts during the race, keeping Coleby Frye at bay.  On the final restart with just six laps remaining, Frye wrestled the lead away and Berry settled for a 2nd place finish.

UP NEXT

Two top five finishes in his first two career limited late model starts has Berry looking for opportunities to race a few of the bigger, late season limited races that typically offer an increased purse.  With two super late model motors to repair this offseason, making a little cash instead of sitting at home makes sense.

Stay tuned to Austin’s social media outlets and Addicted2DirtPR.com/Events for schedule updates and announcements.

News Coming Soon on PanCan Raffle Items and 2024 Season Kickoff Party Tickets

With the season coming to a close, Berry will be raffling off the team’s tail banner that has been used all season to cover the rear suspension of the car, plus his special edition Pancreatic Cancer Awareness racing gloves.  Details will be coming soon on how to enter.  All proceeds will go to charity.

In January, Austin Berry Racing will host their annual season kickoff party which features great food, prizes and a live band.  The popular event sold out last year with just over 300 fans attending.  It was a fun event for all who attended and a big success for the team.  Stay tuned for more information about that event in the coming months.
