No matter what time of year it is, finding your groove is something special for any race car driver and team. October proved to be the month that Lane Snook and team would find something that made the 23-car unstoppable.

Starting off the final month of the team’s season, BAPS hosted the Creekside Auto Late Models. After an invert put Snook in the 8th starting spot, speed showed as Lane made his way to the point. “We were able to make our way to the lead fairly quick.” Even after a few cautions and even a red flag, Lane picked up yet another BAPS Motor Speedway checkered flag.

Riding the wave of confidence, the Mifflintown-based team headed to the world-famous Eldora Speedway. “We qualified 7th in our group out of 24 cars. That put us starting 4th in the heat…made a mistake on the first lap, but was able to make our way back up to 4th.” A front-row starting spot in the B Main presented a prime opportunity to make the show. That is exactly what Snook did.

Most would think that rolling off towards the rear of the field would make it tough to have a great result. Finding the bottom groove to his liking, Snook advanced all the way up to the 7th position. With a car in the top five coming up lite at the scales, Lane wound up with a 6th place finish. “Half the challenge was just making the show, with so many good cars” stated Snook. “It was definitely cool racing at Eldora with the tough competition.”

Sometimes, finding your groove and something that works for you, can mean making changes to what you are used to. “I did some different stuff with the setup that I was told to do by people who had raced there before.” Not only did these tips help the young racer, Lane’s mindset might have also helped. “Went into the weekend knowing there was nothing to lose.” Sharing the hard charger award, for a track debut, was certainly a huge accomplishment.

Continued success would follow the 23 team to the Path Valley Speedway for the final weekend of the season. With a split program, qualifying took place on Friday night and the car and driver again, were in the groove. Quickest in time trials put the 16-year-old starting 8th in his heat, with the program being about points. 3rd place points in the heat totaled up to be the highest point total out of any driver on Saturday. “With a rubbered-up racetrack, we were able to lead every lap for a very successful last race of the season.”

That win marked Snook’s 5th of the year and was a perfect capstone to a sophomore season in the Limited Late Model ranks. 2024 was a great success and exceeded expectations for not only the team but also the driver. While 2025 still seems far away, it will certainly come quick. Practice over the off-season will come in the form of iRacing for the teenage racer and maybe also with watching races and replays to gain a mental notebook on tracks for 2025.

Lane and team would again like to thank all the great sponsors and friends who helped to make this season so successful. Here’s to 2024 and to an even more stellar 2025!

Late Season Lessons

Mifflintown, PA – October 4, 2024

As the month of September marched on, races became more scattered for Lane Snook and team. The team took to the Path Valley Speedway on September 14th, for a night of racing at the Spring Run ¼ mile. Snook put the limited late model in victory lane earlier in the season at the tight bullring. Speed and confidence continued for the 23 team.

Lane would roll off from the 7th starting position in the feature. A lesson in patience and perseverance was shown to the young 16-year-old. “I was able to move my way up to second throughout the race and battle for the lead,” stated Snook, “but with harder tires and lots of cautions at the end of the race, we ended up second.” Coming up one spot short of his second triumph of the season at Path Valley, but still garnering a podium finish.

This would be the last time the 23 car would roll onto the track in September, but the driver would take a few weeks to gain valuable experience and knowledge from friend Drake Troutman. Lane was able to travel with the Lucas Oil Late Model tour racer to the Knoxville Late Model Nationals and Brownstown Speedway. Snook found the experience to be different but in a good way. “It’s definitely cool traveling all over the place and getting to watch some of the best, and to see how they do it.” Lessons learned over the course of the trip could help the young racer who is still learning the ins and outs of the Late Model scene.

“I’ve learned a lot about different ways of how to set the car up and understanding why they do it.” As many older racers and crew chiefs will say, every driver should learn how the car works and how to work on it. These are valuable skills for the Mifflintown native to learn. “I’m grateful to Drake for allowing me to come help him and for him teaching me stuff about cars and how the cars work.”

Another thing that most drivers or past drivers will tell you is that trying to just show up to the track and spectate a race can be challenging or even unappealing “It’s pretty weird going to the racetrack and not racing,” stated Lane. However, the lessons and information could help down the road as the 3 time winner, in 2024, looks for more success in the coming weeks to close out the season.

The upcoming schedule for Lane features a trip to BAPS Motor Speedway on October 12th. A little road trip follows the next weekend as Eldora is on the schedule for the Dirt Track World Championship. The final weekend of the season will take place at Path Valley with a doubleheader weekend of October 25th-26th. That, for now, will close out the sophomore season for the team.

Pair of Wins Highlight August for Lane Snook

Mifflintown, PA – September 9, 2024

As the last month of summer break appeared on the calendar, Lane Snook and team had a busy month ahead of them. After the last few months of impressive runs and finishes, and August featuring some big shows, anticipation was high for the young 16-year-old driver.

The month started off with an appearance at the Path Valley Speedway on August 10th. The fifth starting spot would be where the 23 car would roll off from. A few missteps landed the Mifflintown racer back in the 9th position, partway through the feature. However, the high side of the speedway was inviting to Snook, and he took to it, passing back the positions lost, and then some. Lane was able to stand on the podium box, scoring a 3rd place finish.

A week later at the BAPS Motor Speedway, the top step on the podium would be his. A strong heat set the young racer up for a front-row starting spot. Around the halfway mark of the feature, “we were able to pass for the lead” and win a second Limited Late Model event of the season.

Big money was on the line the following Friday, as the rained-out Zimmerman Tribute race was run alongside the Lucas Oil Late Model program, at Port Royal Speedway. A promising start to the night with a strong 2nd place effort in their qualifying group, put them on the pole of a heat race. Bad luck befell the 23 team, as they had “a left rear blow off the bead racing for second.” Luckily, the good time in qualifying allowed them to start on the pole of the B-Main, and Lane was able to win that event. Passing was at a premium in feature, as Snook advanced a few spots, going from 21st-18th.

Switching gears back to short tracks, the now 2-time winner, would break through once more and pick up his third feature win of the season at the Path Valley Speedway. Lane was able to grab the lead, almost right away, and “drove off to the win.” Snook stated that “the confidence is pretty high, especially on the short tracks.” Evidence being that all three of his triumphs this season have come on smaller tracks. Lane also stated there has been “less pressure” when talking about getting more wins, after scoring his first a few months prior.

To round out the month, another small track was on the card, as the team went to Clinton County. The handicap style invert to the feature lineup, put Lane starting 7th. At the end of the feature, another podium finish was added to the resume of the 2nd-year Limited driver, scoring a 3rd place result.

Rain pushed what would have been the final event on the team’s August schedule to a later date, as the Renninger Memorial got moved to a part of Monday’s Labor Day Classic at Port Royal.

As the season starts to wind down, the team and Lane now stand at three wins. “I just wanted to win at least 1 race this year.” While most wins and podium finishes have happened at smaller tracks, “we are finding more speed on the big tracks” said Snook. This is an area the young racer looks to improve upon in the remainder of the season.

The month of September features a few races for the Mifflintown-based team. BAPS is up next for the team on September 14th. The rest of the month is still up in the air, but the team does plan to race a few more times before the month is out. The hope is for August’s momentum to carry into a few strong closing months of the season.

Summer Speed: Picking Up Pace & Podiums

Mifflintown, PA – July 30, 2024

by Derick Kriner / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

As the temperature continued to rise and make for hot days and nights in July, Lane Snook also started to rise in performance. After scoring several strong runs in May and June, including a win, July proved to be no different. 

While not all results saw the 23 car in a podium spot, speed was evident. To start off the month, a make-up feature was on tap at BAPS. Podium one of the month found the young 16-year old driver, as Lane charged from 8th to 3rd position. Being an addition to the regular show, this meant the team would have to prepare for another feature that evening. Rolling off 9th in the regular feature, misfortune found the 23 car. “Had a car spin in front of us and I had to spin to avoid.” Not what you want to happen, but the aforementioned gains in speed showed. “We went to the rear and made our way back up to 10th.” Good speed shown, with two top 10’s to kick off the month. 

The next weekend found the team traveling to Selinsgrove, where speed seemed to be produced right out of the box for the Mifflintown native. Going to the top of the speed chart on his first lap of time trials, again proved the speed found. However, lap two ended the night, with a blown motor. The team was understandably bummed, but with the small track car loaded up, the team went to Path Valley the following week and didn’t appear to have missed a beat. 

“Started 3rd in the heat and finished 4th. That put us starting 7th in the feature and made our way to 2nd.” Even after a slight misstep on the cushion set him back to 3rd late, Lane was able to power back around and grab the 2nd spot on the final circuit. 

Closing out the month of July at BAPS brought the team back to the site of Snook’s first win. Winning speed was there and Lane advanced from 9th-2nd in the feature event. “The car kept getting better as the race went on,” stated the young late model pilot. “I think the more laps I’ve run, that we’ve found some stuff that I like with the setup on the car. I’ve definitely got more comfortable as the year has went on and we are putting some good runs together.” All of this while having to navigate different types of tracks and surfaces. 

The ¼ mile tracks like Path Valley are definitely fun and elbows up,” said Snook. “½ miles are aero dependent and that can make them hard to race on,” identifying a key challenge of the bigger speedways like Port Royal and Selinsgrove. “If they widen out, they can race good.” 

As evident with his performances there this year, Lane highlighted ⅜ mile tracks, like BAPS as “about the perfect size for a racetrack. The last couple times we’ve been there, it’s been good racing and fun to race on.” 

August will be no different in the variety of facilities the 23 team looks to head to. Port Royal will kick off the month on August 3rd, followed by Path Valley on the 10th. BAPS Motor Speedway success will hopefully continue as the limited late models are on the card August 17th. A double header weekend featuring Port Royal and Selinsgrove is on the calendar for the 23rd and 24th, before rounding out the month at Port Royal for the start of the Juniata County Fair. 

A month racing in the heat and on different size speedways, not only showed the teams ability to compete on a regular basis, but also proved the progress made by a young racer. Three podiums and a top-10, helped the confidence of the 16-year old driver, and will hopefully continue as August features a similar schedule to that of the successful July. 

The Snook family and Lane, would again like to thank all of their amazing partners and sponsors for keeping the team on track and performing at a consistently strong level.

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

Mifflintown, PA – June 30, 2024

by Derick Kriner / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

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.

Up and Down May Ends with Gains In Speed for Snook

Mifflintown, PA – May 30, 2024

by Derick Kriner / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

After an April full of rain and scattered races for Lane Snook and the Mifflintown-based 23 team, more races occupied the next month. The team got to travel to several different tracks around the Central PA region and got to test out different packages on a wide variety of tracks.

Williams Grove and Port Royal rounded out the month of April. The topless 25-lap feature at Williams Grove turned out to be a bust with Lane retiring from the race after issues just past halfway and winding up 20th. Port Royal brought another challenging night, as a tough heat race buried the 23 car in the feature and netted only a plus-one finish of 15th. 

Rain followed the next two weeks and then the young racer was able to take on the Speed Palace once more, finishing with a 6th place run. Speed was building for the team and it showed at their next event at Clinton County Speedway. This was Lane’s first time at the speedway. Being quickest in hot laps, gave the young racer hope for the evening. After salvaging a good run following a heat race incident, Snook was able to pilot the 23 car to a top 10 finish, even after an early race misstep sent him to the tail. 

Rain followed the next night at Hagerstown. That left a Sunday night show for the team, to cap off the Memorial Day weekend, at Port Royal. Being a part of the Bob Weikert Memorial, the limited late models and Snook again got to showcase their skills in front of a massive crowd. With Lane rolling off 12th on the grid, his eyes were focused forward and he was able to drive up to 8th, to score his third consecutive top-10 finish. “We definitely made some gains on the car” stated Snook. That progress will hopefully pay off as the month of June ramps up in intensity, as long as Mother Nature cooperates. 

With the increased number of races on the horizon, being focused and locked in is important. This is a skill that the now 16-year-old racer makes a priority. “I just try to stay focused and make sure everything is done, and everything on the car is right.” Lane says he’s not one for a particular routine, but these few things help to keep him on track mentally during a race week and during a night of competition. 

Another key aspect of any race night is the support and help from sponsors. When asked about some of the relationships that Lane and the team have with sponsors, the young racer highlighted several people who do much more than just provide financial help for the late model team. “We go camping at Eldora with the Ritchey family (Ritchey Sandblasting). One crew guy, Duke (Mexico Ridge Beef Farms) gives us food and helps with other stuff.” Other family members of different sponsors also have a great relationship with the Snook family, including MHT Transport who helps with fuel, and Juniata Beverage, which provides the hydration the team needs after the races. “We all have very good relationships and support each other as much as we can.” This allows the teenage late model driver to remain focused and to also stay loose being surrounded by such close sponsors that have practically become family. 

Snook and team would like to again thank all of their sponsors for keeping them on track and getting them prepared for a busy summer. The team looks to start June with a strong run at BAPS Motor Speedway on June 1st. Port Royal will be on the schedule the following weekend, June 8th. With the end of May’s speed, fans should expect to see more highs than lows in June.

Early Season Tribulations Strengthening Snook & 23 Car

York Haven, PA – April 23, 2024

With a little over a month and a half in the books for the 2024 season, Lane Snook and his 23 car team, have seen their fair share of issues. Not only has Mother Nature played a big part in making the beginning part of the season difficult, but mechanical issues have littered the early season. These struggles haven’t dampened the spirits of the team, and if anything, have strengthened them.

As most racers will tell you, this sport is not always roses, but Snook looks to see past the early season issues and find consistency. Several shows had been trending in a positive direction, but whether it was a mechanical issue or rain, some nights have not ended well.

Maintaining a positive mindset is something that Snook says has been a key part of the early season. “We had rear-end trouble two weeks in a row and that kept us hard at work in the shop.” These mechanical issues at BAPS Motor Speedway ended a few races early. Showing speed up until those points in the night made it frustrating to see them come to an early end, but left the team with some optimism, and better results followed.

Lane was able to put together two top-10 finishes. One at Port Royal Speedway, and the other at BAPS Motor Speedway. A water main break put the Selinsgrove limited feature on hold until April 27th, but the 23 car showed speed prior to the postponement of racing action this past Sunday. “We were pretty good once I got used to the car/track after a few laps.” Confidence heading into another week of racing shows the never-quit attitude Lane and the team have. “We will keep working hard at it and hope that the bad luck is out of the way.”

The Mifflintown-based team looks ahead to a busy three-day weekend of limited late-model competition. Williams Grove hosts a rare topless limited late model show on Friday, that will give the team another track to test out, in this young season. Then the team will head north to Selinsgrove for a double feature night, as the completion of last week’s feature, compliments a regular weekly show. Sunday will cap off the weekend at Port Royal, as the limited late models join the Lucas Oil Late Model Series.

When asked what professional racing series Lane would like to race in as a career, he responded by saying, “Definitely the Lucas Oil tour. They seem very professional and they also have very good payouts. Everyone on the Lucas crew seems to respect their drivers and have a good mindset.” Snook and team look to have a good showing in front of a national audience of late model fans on Sunday.

He also looks forward to some better racing conditions with less precipitation in the forecast but says he still gets some racing in, even when the weather in the real world won’t allow it. “If we don’t go to the shop, I will usually hop on iRacing with a few buddies and have some fun.” Whether it’s working on the racecar or working on his race craft online, Lane has his mind on improvement.

We hope to see everyone at the track this weekend and the team would again like to thank all of its sponsors and partners for keeping them going through the early season and beyond. Thanks to Grassmyer Auctioneering, MHT Transport, Fryeco Fabrication, Ritchey Sandblasting, Dyers Top Rods, Mexico Ridge Beef Farms, The Olde Hatchery, Juniata Beverage, Byers Racing Engines, Scheaffer Racing Oil, and Superfly Shocks.

Strong Opening Weekend Shows Promise for 2024 and Lane Snook Racing

York Haven, PA – March 18, 2024

The green flag flew on the 2024 racing season, this past Saturday, for the Mifflintown late model driver. Lane Snook entered into his first race of the year, at BAPS Motor Speedway, after having completed some practice nights at the 4/10 mile oval during the offseason. Practice sure appeared to pay off for the young 15-year-old, who enters into his second year of late model competition.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  March 16, 2024

  • Division:  Limited Late Model
  • Track:  BAPS Motor Speedway
  • City, State:   York Haven, PA
  • Stats: 20 cars, Heat 1st (1), A-main 2nd/DQ (8)

“The day was good,” stated Lane, “Drew a good pill, started on the pole of the heat, and led every lap,” which put the 23 car into the redraw. “Pulled a 10 in the redraw for the feature and somehow started 8th.” 

Once the green flag dropped on the 20-lap feature, Lane was able to maneuver his way up into the top 5 and continued to pass cars throughout the race. “Car started to get good at the end of the race and got into second coming to the white and ended up there.” A good performance for the driver entering his sophomore year behind the wheel of a late model. 

While trouble didn’t occur during the race, an issue in post-race technical inspection put a slight damper on a stellar first showing of the season. A track rule, disallowing crank triggers, nullified the 2nd place effort. “We didn’t realize that was the only track around that doesn’t allow crank triggers, so the DQ was our own fault for not reading the rules close enough.” 

Though a disappointment, Snook stated, “We’ll go back in a few weeks and try to beat them fair and square.” Some added motivation to prove to the field that the technical infraction wasn’t the sole reason for the podium finish. 

A positive run had the teenager excited and optimistic for the 2024 season and he mentioned that his goals for the season were to “win a few races at a couple tracks and get more seat time in the super [late model] car at BAPS when they practice on Wednesday nights.” 

Gaining more experience throughout the season and improving upon his short career in the Limited Late Model division, are a goal of the former kart standout. In the years prior to his rookie season in 2023, in the Central PA Limited Late Models, Snook accumulated nearly 150 go-kart wins throughout the eastern portion of the United States. Winning in over 7 states, along with 5 state championships and 2 track championships. 

The third-generation driver looks up to his dad who raced for years prior to Lane jumping in the seat. “He has taught me everything I know. I’ve watched how hard he has worked over the years, and I appreciate everything he does for me.” One of those learned skills that Lane got from his dad, is “looking in front of me and staying out of wrecks that happen around me.” This part of his race craft is something that the Mifflintown driver feels he does best. That ability to look forward and avoid helped propel Snook to multiple top-five finishes at several local tracks, and 5 Hard Charger Awards in his rookie year. 

Lane will look past this weekend’s DQ, and focus on the long season out in front of him. With goals to continue to make improvements, and gain valuable experience the 2024 season is hopefully one of promise for the 23 car. The team plans to race next at Port Royal Speedway on March 23rd & 30th, as the Limited Late Models make their return to the Juniata County half mile. 

Lane and the team would like to thank all their partners, sponsors, and equipment manufacturers for helping them get on track in 2024. Thanks to Grassmyer Auctioneering, MHT Transport, Fryeco Fabrication, Ritchey Sandblasting, Dyers Top Rods, Mexico Ridge Beef Farms, The Olde Hatchery, Juniata Beverage, Byers Racing Engines, Scheaffer Racing Oil, and Superfly Shocks.
