For the second week in a row, Trever Feathers’ weekend consisted of two super late model races.  The previous week he recorded two top-five finishes on trips to Delaware and Virginia.

This week it would be Maryland and Pennsylvania and Feathers was looking to continue his string of top finishes and hopefully secure his first super late model win of the season.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  July 3, 2024

  • Class:  Super Late Model 
  • Location:  Potomac Speedway, Mechanicsville, MD
  • Stats:  12 cars, Qualifying 2nd, Heat 1st (1), A-main DNF (2)

DATE:  July 6, 2024

  • Class:  Super Late Model 
  • Location:  Port Royal Speedway, Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  22 cars, Heat 1st (6), A-main 8th (9)

29.99 LAPS SHORT

Wednesday night Feathers made the 125-mile tow from his race shop to Potomac Speedway in Mechanicsville, MD with the 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, Team Zero Race Cars super late model.

With his car still carrying the No.91 tribute wrap for his great uncle Jimmy Spence, Feathers laid down a lap that was just 0.003 seconds slower than quick timer Kenny Moreland.  The qualifying effort provided Feathers with the pole for heat race number two, which he commanded for the entire ten laps, winning by 4.656 seconds over Kyle Hardy.

Trever started outside the front row next to Moreland for the 30-lap feature but unfortunately the engine expired at the drop of the green, ending a promising night.

FIGHTING THE FORMAT

Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway heat lineups were set by random draw.  Feathers took the green for heat three from the 6th spot but wasted no time blasting to the front.  By the end of lap one, he was already in the runner-up spot and the next time by the line he was in command by nearly a full second.

Feathers went on to another convincing heat race win by 4.369 over Andrew Yoder.

With the feature lineup set by the handicap format, Feathers was assigned the 9th starting spot, essentially erasing his hard work in the heat race.  Forward progress was challenging for almost everyone inside the top ten during the 25-lap feature.  

Feathers was mired in the 9th spot for most of the event, then leveraged a late restart with five laps remaining to pick up one spot for an 8th-place finish.  

“We know the format deal but it’s still frustrating to have to start 9th behind cars we passed in the heat.”, Feathers commented.  

“The competition is so close, it’s tough to pass guys once let alone twice.  We just weren’t good enough tonight to overcome all the dirty air and a surface that was really tough to pass on.”

UP NEXT

Saturday night, July 13th, the team will return to Port Royal Speedway with the super late models.

The weather in Central Pennsylvania wasn’t the only thing that was too hot during PA Speedweek. Kyle Reinhardt battled engine overheating issues two nights in a row before cutting his week short to avoid hurting the engine.  

Prior to the unfortunate issues, Reinhardt was headed for a career-best Speedweek points finish.

Entering the second half of the ten-race series, Reinhardt sat 6th in the point standings.

TOO HOT

Wednesday night at Port Royal Speedway, a place that has been challenging in recent years, Reinhardt’s qualifying lap ranked him 9th in Group B and put him 5th on the starting grid for his heat race.  With the top five transferring to the A-main, it put the New Oxford, PA driver in good position to make the show.

Reinhardt got the job done, finishing 5th and transferring to the feature.  He went on to move forward a few spots and finish 15th in the 30-lap finale.  

The following night the series visited Hagerstown Speedway, a track Reinhardt said he looks forward to racing each year when the sprint cars make their lone annual visit.

Reinhardt qualified 18th at the Maryland half-mile and logged another heat race finish of 5th to transfer to the A-main once again.

Despite managing an engine that was running hot during Thursday’s show, Reinhardt made it through the 30-lap feature to record a 15th-place finish.

Friday night Speedweek action returned to Williams Grove Speedway where Reinhardt had logged a top ten finish a week earlier in the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.

His qualifying result was on par with the week before but he battled an overheating engine again in his heat race, slipping back two spots to a 7th place finish.

Reinhardt was forced to make the tough call to end his week before the B-main took to the track.  

“Hate to have to pull the plug on our week but I just can’t afford to hurt this engine and my other engine is currently getting freshened. I want to thank David, Mike, Kent, and Chris for all their hard work and efforts this week.”, Reinhardt said.

“I think we made better improvements with the car but I think we were being held back with engine issues during the week. Definitely disappointing to end early after such a grueling effort all week long.“

UP NEXT

Reinhardt had already planned to take a break in his schedule after Speedweek.  That break now becomes a must while he gets his engines back in race-ready condition before the World of Outlaws’ summer swing through Central Pennsylvania.

The Neptune City, NJ native plans to complete with the Outlaws at BAPS Motor Speedway on July 24th and Williams Grove Speedway on July 26th and 27th.

Reinhardt Heating Up With Podium, Two Top 10’s During Early PA Speedweek Action

/in , , /by

Bechtelsville, PA – July 3, 2024

The first three months of the 2024 season were trying for Kyle Reinhardt.  After a career-best 410 sprint car season in 2023 in which he recorded three wins and thirty top-ten finishes in sixty one races, the Neptune City, NJ native expected to pick up where he left off when he opened the new season.

It hasn’t worked out that way.  The first dozen races resulted in just three top ten finishes, the best being a 7th.

The car that had been so good to him last year got dinged a bit late in the year and it just wasn’t the same after repairs were made over the winter.  As Pennsylvania Speedweek approached, Reinhardt pulled out a fresh frame and things started to improve.  Then during the opening weekend of Speedweek, Chris Shuttlesworth rejoined the team to turn the wrenches.

Now, four races into the Speedweek series, he has clicked off three top ten finishes, including a podium at BAPS Motor Speedway in the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.

BACK ON TRACK

On opening night of PA Speedweek at Williams Grove, Reinhardt qualified 8th in Group B and logged a 3rd place finish in his heat race, putting him 14th on the grid for the main event.  

The night’s finale was a confidence-builder for Reinhardt.  Despite getting crossed up early and slipping back as far as 18th, he drove back to a 10th-place finish by the end of the night.

Saturday night’s event at Lincoln Speedway rained out just after time trials, sending the series on to night three at BAPS Motor Speedway.

Everything clicked for Reinhardt on Sunday night.  He timed 4th quick in Group B and went on to lead every lap to win his heat.  

Drawing the pole for the feature certainly isn’t a bad thing, although it may have worked against Reinhardt Sunday.  The high side was the fast way around BAPS Motor Speedway and he was lining up on the low side.  

At the completion of lap one, Reinhardt had settled into third and was working to reel Danny Dietrich and Anthony Macri in.  When the dust settled after thirty laps, the top trio remained the same.  It was Reinhardt’s first podium of the season.

Back at Lincoln on Monday night with 36 teams on hand, Reinhardt qualified 13th in Group B, then pushed forward to a 4th place finish in his heat race after starting 7th.  He went on to log a 13th place finish in the A-main.

On night five of PA Speedweek at Grandview Speedway, Reinhardt’s night got off to a tough start.  He timed 17th overall and finished 5th in his heat race.  

It was in the feature that Reinhardt bounced back.  Showing that he made the right adjustments, he advanced six spots to an 8th place finish.

“We are finding speed and consistency this week.  We’re looking forward to continuing to build on that.”, Reinhardt said.

UP NEXT

Reinhardt currently sits 6th in the PA Speedweek points with five races remaining.

  • Wed 7/3 – Port Royal Speedway
  • Thu 7/4 – Hagerstown Speedway
  • Fri 7/5 – Williams Grove Speedway

Feathers Scores Podium and Top Five in Solid Super Late Model Weekend

/in , , /by

Winchester, VA – July 1, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Kevin Chapman / WRT Speedwerx

Trever Feathers is gearing up for another two race week in the 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, Team Zero Race Cars No.20 super late model.

Feathers has an average finishing position of 8.3 thus far in his super late model season at tracks across Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, but he is still seeking his first win of the year in the highly competitive division.

This past weekend Feathers showed he is inching closer to checking that box as he recorded a podium and a top five in Delaware and Virginia.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  June 27, 2024

  • Class:  Super Late Model 
  • Track:  Georgetown Speedway
  • City, State:   Georgetown, DE
  • Stats:  8 cars, A-main 3rd (3)

DATE:  June 29, 2024

  • Class:  Super Late Model 
  • Track:  Winchester Speedway
  • City, State:   Winchester, VA
  • Stats:  29 cars, Heat 1st (?), A-main 5th (3)

GOTTA GET A GRIP

Feathers made the tow to Georgetown Speedway in Delaware Thursday night where he has supported the track’s events this season.  Aside from supporting regional super late model racing, it’s also a place he sees as a challenge that can help make his team better.

“We’ve struggled in the slick this year, something we haven’t had issues with in the past, so I keep coming back here (to Georgetown) because if we can get a hold of this place, we’ll know we’ve figured out our problem.”, Feathers shared.

Thursday’s show used a combined hot lap/time trial session to set the field for a feature-only program.

Feathers started and finished 3rd, navigating a tricky surface that had recently suffered from a lot of rain.

“I had a couple runs at (Donald) Lingo for second but I made a mistake and lost my shot at that, so I just gathered it back up and made sure I got it in the trailer in one piece.”, Feathers said.

Saturday night in his hometown of Winchester, VA, Feathers’ ride was adorned with the No.91 in honor of his great uncle at the Jimmy Spence Memorial at Winchester VA Speedway.

Thanks to the efforts of Feather’s cousin J.T. Spence and his uncle Jimmy McFarland, the annual event offered $6,091 to the winner, bonuses for heat race winners, and more.  The race is a family affair and means a lot to everyone who puts in a lot of hard work to honor the late Jimmy Spence.

A strong field of 29 drivers was on hand to do battle for the extra cash.  Heats were set by group time trials with a four-car inversion.  Feathers set quick time in his group, putting him outside row two to start the heat race.

“I think my knowledge of this place got us the quick time there.”, Feathers said.  “The car wasn’t great but I know how to get around here and help it a little.”

Feathers and 3rd place starter Kyle Hardy waged an entertaining battle in the heat race, with Feathers coming out on top to take the win and earn the 3rd starting spot for the 51-lap feature event.

In the early going, Feathers held serve in 3rd while everyone settled in for the extra-distance feature.  Although he slipped back a couple of spots, he held on inside the top five throughout the race and eventually took the checkered flag in 5th.

“The track got really slick in the feature, so my car struggled a little again.”, Feathers commented.  “I probably should’ve finished worse than I did.  We’ll keep working on it and get this thing figured out so we can get back to where we were late last year with this car when we went on a tear.  We’re gonna do some testing tomorrow.”

UP NEXT

Wednesday night, July 3rd, Feathers will head to Potomac Speedway in Maryland for the Gene VanMeter Memorial super late model race.

Saturday night, July 6th, the team will return to Port Royal Speedway when the super late models join the Pennsylvania Speedweek program for the sprint cars.

SEASON STATS

Super Late Model:  12 races, 0 wins, 6 top 5’s, 8 top 10’s, 10 top 15’s 

Limited Late Model:  4 races, 1 win, 1 top 5’s, 3 top 10’s, 4 top 15’s

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

/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.

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.

Trever Feathers Rallies Late at Hagerstown’s Steel Block Clash

/in , , /by

Hagerstown, MD – June 25, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

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

/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

/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.

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

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.
