The end of June means the start of Pennsylvania Sprint Car Speedweek. For the young Delaware native, Preston Lattomus, this meant an opportunity to compete in one of the toughest weeks in the region. Having stepped up from the 358 ranks at the end of last season, learning has been the name of the game in 2025. While a few shows would end up falling to Mother Nature, the driver of the 91 did gain some valuable experience and made improvements at tracks, even if the results didn’t show it. 

“Our goal for Speedweek was to improve every time we hit the track, and I feel we did that.”

With rain taking out the first two shows of the series, BAPS Motor Speedway took center stage as the Speedweek opener. Preston, after qualifying 19th in his flight, went 10th to 9th in his heat. After a B Main effort of 15th, the first night of the week was in the books. Not the strongest effort, but it got the week started, which was the biggest part of being able to learn.

Against the odds, the following night at Lincoln Speedway did happen. Rain was all around the speedway, and it did end up claiming the last five laps of the feature. For Preston, the night started off with a 16th-place qualifying effort. Starting 8th in his heat, he was able to make his way up to 7th, missing out on the transfer by two spots. The 9th position would be the start and finish for the 91 car, in the B Main, wrapping up night two of competition.

Some valuable experience came during the Wednesday night show at Port Royal Speedway. Having limited winged starts at The Speed Palace, Lattomus was able to run double-duty, as the URC 360’s joined the card that evening. Sometimes, getting to slow things down and just being on the track more can help a driver find little areas to improve upon. 

“I can definitely say running both classes helped because of being able to keep up with the track very well,” stated Preston. Motor problems with the 360 made a 12th-place finish a little bit of a disappointing night on that end, as hopes were high for the URC portion of the program. Preston would find a little more speed in the 410, timing in 14th and finishing 8th in his heat, before an 11th-place B Main finish.

Another big half mile appeared on the schedule the following night as the team headed to Hagerstown Speedway. Speed was more evident for the team, as Lattomus was able to put in a solid qualifying effort and make the show out of the B Main. In the feature, Preston was able to make up a few spots, coming home in 19th, but most importantly, making the show and finishing the feature, which helped gain some more valuable experience.

The Mitch Smith Memorial brought the team back to more familiar territory, and the Williams Grove Speedway. With another top 15 qualifying run, Preston would roll off 7th in his heat and finish 9th, sending him to the B Main. The Delaware native showed some good speed and the ability to move around and stay out of some wrecks, going 13th to 6th, and just barely missing out on the transfer position.

Saturday night’s show at Port Royal Speedway would be the final night the 91 team would compete on the Speedweek trail. And it was a great way to finish out the long week. Lattomus had his best qualifying effort of the week, timing in 6th in his group. 

“The guys told me where to run and how to run it right before I went out, and the qualifying effort put us upfront in a heat race.” With a first row starting spot in the heat, a lot of good cars were around the 91 car, but Preston was able to show some great speed and maintain his second starting spot and transfer into the 30-lap feature event. Rolling off 9th in the feature was one of Preston’s best starting positions of the season. Once the green flag dropped, the young racer was able to maintain and hang around inside the top 12. 

“As we got going in the feature, I could feel I had a great car capable of moving forward.” However, troubles came about after only 5 laps. “And when things just started to click, we had a power steering problem that ended our night.” A disappointing end to what appeared to be a promising night.

However, the overall goal for the team and driver was to improve, and that happened. Speedweek is also one of the toughest weeks in dirt track racing. 

“Pennsylvania Speedweek is different from anything I’ve ever done because it’s longer and at a higher level,” stated Lattomus. The format also can present challenges for some, with teams having to time trial every night, which isn’t the norm at most weekly shows.

“The challenges that come along with time trial shows for me are really this time of year,” said Preston. “Qualifying becomes very technical with how the track changes. I prefer time trial shows over redraw or handicap because it’s what they do every race at the highest level.” Having this be a part of the week helped to build a bigger mental notebook for the young 18-year-old racer.

Even with results not all showing the speed the team is capable of, Lattoums was still happy with how it went. 

“This 91 team brings a great piece to the track every night. I know once I get on the same page as the car, I will really start getting into a flow and the good runs will come in more often.” 

The team looks to take a week off and get ready for Williams Grove on the 18th and hopefully build up some more speed and confidence, as the World of Outlaws soon come to town, to round out the month.

Cappetta Earns Another Top 10 at Lincoln; Takes Over Championship Points Lead

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Berlin, PA – June 25, 2025

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Ashley Cappetta’s race night at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday was full of emotion, challenges, and ultimately, another top 10 finish in 358 sprint car competition—her fifth in six starts this season.

Things started off on a superstitious note when Cappetta and her crew member received wristbands numbered 43-19 and 1-19, respectively—a combination of numbers with strong sentimental ties. “With Steve’s number being 19 and 43 being someone very special to me, it felt like a good sign,” said Cappetta. “Then we pulled pill number 19—it just felt like something good was in the air.”

The team tried a new setup during warm-ups that showed early promise. However, changing track conditions by the heat race made the car difficult to handle. “It was probably the most uncomfortable I’ve felt all year,” Cappetta admitted. “It was standing up on the right rear, really bad off the corners. I couldn’t drive it the way I needed to.” A racing incident with Chad Criswell added to the frustration, but Cappetta emphasized her commitment to clean racing and apologized to Criswell and his team.

Despite the challenges, Cappetta’s consistency paid off, as she held onto an invert spot for the feature. After a team discussion, the decision was made to revert to a more familiar and proven setup for the main event. “I knew it wasn’t the night for trial and error,” she explained. “We’ve been consistent all year, and I didn’t want to jeopardize that.”

That decision paid off, as Cappetta climbed into the top five during the A-Main, running as high as fifth before a late-race caution allowed another driver to capitalize. She ultimately finished sixth—another solid result for the team, which is still in its first season together. “It was a good rebound. I got my confidence back during the feature,” she said.

The team will continue working to improve, including a private midweek test session at BAPS Motor Speedway. “Even though it’s not Lincoln, any seat time is valuable,” Cappetta noted. “We’ve been putting in the hours, talking through everything, watching film—this season already feels different in the best way.”

The team’s efforts have put Cappetta atop the Lincoln Speedway point standings—by a slim five-point margin. “It’s early, and I’m not focused on winning a championship just yet. I want to win races. But even leading for one week shows we’re doing something right.”

Cappetta Reflects on PA Speedweek Kickoff Event

Cappetta also participated in the PA Speedweek Kickoff event on Sunday, an experience she found both meaningful and necessary. “I thought it was a great event,” she shared. “It’s so important to bring fans—especially young kids—closer to the sport. They’re the future.”

Ashley emphasized how these events foster connection and community among drivers and fans. “We don’t always get to talk at the track. Sunday gave us that chance,” she said. “Selling merchandise is also a big help. It’s not just fan gear—it’s like a mini sponsorship. Every little bit helps.”

With momentum on her side and a dedicated team behind her, Cappetta remains focused and optimistic. “We’re still learning, but we’re heading in the right direction. We’re not just showing up—we’re showing up to compete.”

ABOUT  ASHLEY CAPPETTA

Ashley Cappetta is a second-generation racer following her uncle’s footsteps. She started her racing career in 2012. It was her first year piloting her race car but certainly not her first exposure to the sport. She was introduced to racing by her father, who was Steve Smith’s crew chief. Her uncle, Rob Cappetta was also involved in the sport driving his own #89 sprint car and went on to be a gasman for Robert Yates Racing. Ashley is making her own way by being the first female in her family to set center stage as a driver. Ashley has had a couple of years of sprint car experience with various teams, starting out as a crew member doing such simple tasks as scrapping mud to advancing her skills into doing maintenance for her own race car. Ashley showing her success with not only her abilities working on her race car but also by winning a Hard Charger Award in only her first season racing. Ashley feels she has the best of both worlds by not only knowing how to race but by having the knowledge of the mechanics and being able to provide detailed feedback to her team. Her goal is to continue to grow as a racer and work her way up through the sprint car division.

Preston Lattomus Gears up for First Pennsylvania 410 Sprint Speedweek

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lewes, DE – June 24, 2025

As Preston Lattomus readies himself for the upcoming Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, he reflects on the progress and experiences he’s gained during his rookie season in a 410 sprint car. With ten races spread over ten days, Speedweek provides an excellent opportunity for Lattomus to hone his skills further and gather invaluable experience at the wheel of the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91.

RECENT RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  June 6, 2025 / Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Event:  All Star Circuit of Champions / Lynn Paxton EMMR Legends Classic
  • Stats:  Group Qualifying 12th, Heat 4th (6), A-main 21st (18)
  • Date/Location:  June 7, 2025 / Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Event:  All Star Circuit of Champions / Elijah Hawkins Memorial
  • Stats:  Group Qualifying 19th, Heat 6th (7), A-main 21st (27)
  • Date/Location:  June 20, 2025 / Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Event:  Fan Appreciation Night
  • Stats:  Heat 9th (4), B-main 7th (7)

DRIVEN

Looking back on the season so far, Preston notes that while he hasn’t reached his ideal performance level yet, the journey has been both challenging and rewarding. Racing in Pennsylvania, a region known for its tough, competitive sprint car environment, has been an eye-opener for him. Although he may not have hit every target, he understands that these experiences are essential steps toward becoming a more proficient driver. 

“I know 410 racing in Pennsylvania is the hardest racing in the world, and it takes time to compete with the best,” Lattomus acknowledges.

Having previously taken part in speedweeks for micro sprints, Preston is no stranger to the demands of consecutive racing days. This experience has prepared him somewhat for the rigors of the upcoming Speedweek, though he notes that the stakes are higher and the competition is fiercer at the 410 level.

“Getting ready for Speedweek isn’t a completely new thing, but I realize it will be more races at a much higher level, and I am ready for it,” Lattomus remarked. 

The ten days are seen as a beneficial chance to accumulate laps quickly and absorb the lessons each day offers.

Preston has outlined clear objectives for the upcoming Speedweek. His primary aim is to qualify for all of the A-main events and maximize learning opportunities. Qualifying will be a key to achieving that goal, and that is something he has already identified as an area needing improvement.

“I want to improve my qualifying efforts.  That is critical for a lot of big races we run, so this is a good series to get a chance every day for ten days to work on it.  My goals for Speedweek are to make all of the features and learn as much as possible, and that will all start with qualifying well.” Lattomus shared. 

The series will also bring him to tracks that are new to him in a 410 sprint car, including Grandview, Selingsgrove, Hagerstown, and Path Valley. 

“Racing at a lot of different tracks helps you grow as a driver.  I want to apply what I’ve learned and give the team good runs at these new tracks.”, Lattomus added.

Preston’s drive to grow as a racer and learn from each experience underscores his commitment to the sport. He is approaching the upcoming series with optimism and sees it as a valuable opportunity for accelerating his development toward reaching the high level of performance he knows he is capable of.

At every other level of racing he has taken on, Lattomus has shown he knows how to learn and excel.  This rookie season is step one in that journey in 410 sprint cars.

UP NEXT

Lattomus will enter competition on all ten nights of the upcoming Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, beginning Friday, June 27th at Williams Grove Speedway.

Fans can find the full schedule on the team’s new website,  PrestonLattomus.com.  You will also find Preston’s 2025 merch there, plus all the latest news, schedule, results, stats, and photos.

Cappetta Battles Through Early Setback to Secure Top-10 Finish at Lincoln Speedway

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Berlin, PA – June 11, 2025

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Ashley Cappetta continued her strong 2025 campaign with a resilient eighth-place finish at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night, overcoming an early misstep in the heat race to charge forward in the feature.

The night started with a favorable pill draw, setting Cappetta up with a solid opportunity in her heat race. However, a misjudgment at the chalk line during the initial start led to a loss of momentum that dropped her to fourth in the running order. “I just made a dumb mistake,” Cappetta admitted. “I misjudged the chalk line and second-guessed myself. Looking back, I probably should’ve just gone for it.”

Despite the early frustration, the setback provided an unexpected advantage. The team made strategic adjustments to the car ahead of the feature—changes they may not have considered had they started further up the grid. “That mistake ended up pushing me to agree to try something new with the car setup, and it really worked out for us,” Cappetta explained.

Starting deeper in the field, Cappetta quickly moved forward in the feature, making key passes and battling within the top 10. A red flag at lap 10 allowed for additional adjustments during the open red. “We needed a tire pressure adjustment, and that break gave us the chance to make it,” she said.

Cappetta crossed the line in eighth, adding another consistent finish to her season resume. “We’ve been working so well as a team, and even though we’re only five races in together, it feels like we’re really finding our rhythm,” she shared.

Currently sitting second in Lincoln Speedway’s season point standings, Cappetta recognizes the challenge that comes with consistent finishes. “It’s a blessing and a curse,” she laughed. “It’s great to be up there in points, but it means starting even further back each week. Still, I’m proud of our consistency.”

With a weekend off ahead, the team is using the time to finalize their second car and prepare for a special night on June 21—the Steve Smith Tribute Race. “That race means a lot to us,” Cappetta said. “My dad has history with Steve and the Smith family, so if we could get the job done that night, it would be incredibly special.”

Looking ahead, Cappetta and her team are focused on maintaining momentum, continuing to test and improve, and—ultimately—getting to victory lane. “We’re not getting complacent. I want to get a win under our belt and just keep building from there.”

Her uncle, Rob Cappetta was also involved in the sport driving his own #89 sprint car and went on to be a gasman for Robert Yates Racing. Ashley is making her own way by being the first female in her family to set center stage as a driver. Ashley has had a couple of years of sprint car experience with various teams, starting out as a crew member doing such simple tasks as scrapping mud to advancing her skills into doing maintenance for her own race car. Ashley showing her success with not only her abilities working on her race car but also by winning a Hard Charger Award in only her first season racing. Ashley feels she has the best of both worlds by not only knowing how to race but by having the knowledge of the mechanics and being able to provide detailed feedback to her team. Her goal is to continue to grow as a racer and work her way up through the sprint car division.

Lattomus Scores First Top Five in Season Full of Firsts

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Port Royal, PA – June 2, 2025

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Preston Lattomus entered his rookie season as a winged 410 sprint car driver knowing nearly every night would bring a new ‘first’.  

While not all of those firsts make headlines, there is always a positive element to each of them.  Each first represents a step forward in gaining experience.  Each first is progress, even if the results don’t feel like it.

Over the past two weekends, Lattomus has conquered two more firsts.  One of them is headline-worthy.

 

QUICK RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  May 24, 2025 – Bob Leiby Memorial, Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  Heat 3rd (3), A-main 4th (5)
  • Date/Location:  May 31, 2025 – Port Royal Speedway, Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  Group 4 Qualifying 7th, Heat 6th (7), B-main 5th (4)
 

CHECK THESE OFF THE LIST

Saturday night, May 24th, Lattomus entered the Bob Leiby Memorial at Lincoln Speedway in Pennsylvania and got his night off to a positive start by posting a 3rd place finish in his heat race, keeping Lincoln veterans Brandon Rahmer and Matt Campbell at bay.

In the 30-lap finale that night, Lattomus started on the inside of the third row and surged into a podium spot for the majority of the race before dropping one spot to a 4th place finish to earn his first career top-five finish in winged 410 sprint car competition.

“The first top 5 in a 410 just shows improvement from the first couple of races, which helps a lot with confidence.  It helps to run up front with good cars.”, Lattomus commented.

“I started up front in a feature at the beginning of the year and went straight backwards. So, to stay upfront and pass some cars shows the improvement in only a few races since then at Lincoln.”

This past Saturday night, with Lincoln Speedway cancelling their program due to the weather, Lattomus opted for a night at Port Royal Speedway.  The Lewes, DE driver has several past appearances at ‘The Speed Palace’, but this was his first time in a winged 410 sprint car.

Lattomus registered the 7th quickest lap in his qualifying group but was never able to quite recover from that.  He gained one spot in his heat race but fell one spot short of transferring to the main event.  In the B-main, he lost one spot and again fell one spot short of making the finale.  

The night wasn’t measured by the results, though.  The experience was gained, and the notebook was a little thicker for the next time.

“Port Royal has always been one of my favorite tracks to watch and especially race at.  We have shown so much speed every time we go there.”, Lattomus shared.

“The 410 is definitely a completely different animal at Port, and it will take some getting used to. I think we can get really good there and learn to enjoy the place as much as I have before in other divisions.”

REMINDER

Be sure to stop and visit Lattomus at the track and pick up one of his new hero cards that feature a unique logo marking the Lewes, DE driver’s rookie 410 sprint car season, as well as a bio, stats, and photos of Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91.  Stop by to see Preston at the track, and he will be happy to autograph one for you!

Cappetta Scores Top Five Finish at Lincoln’s Fallen Firefighters Night “Guise-Little Memorial”

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Berlin, PA – May 22, 2025

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Ashley Cappetta put together another strong run on Saturday, May 17, at Lincoln Speedway, earning a top-five finish while piloting the iconic Apple #12 with a special wing dedicated to fallen firefighters.

The event paid tribute to fallen first responders Jerome Guise and Brandon Little, as well as others who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Cappetta, who has deep personal ties to the firefighting community, shared what the evening meant to her.

“I never met Jerome or Brandon, but I know what it means to put your life on the line,” said Cappetta, a former volunteer firefighter. “It was an honor to run this car for them. I always want to do the best I can, not just for their families, but for every hero we’ve lost, and I wanted to make sure I did my part.”

Before the night’s racing program, Cappetta joined fans for the Livingston Lawn Care Party, where she had a chance to connect with new fans and see familiar faces.

On the track, Cappetta made the most of her fifth-place starting spot in the heat race after another competitor dropped out due to mechanical issues. She advanced to third quickly and held her position to earn a solid finish that set her up for a favorable starting spot in the feature.

Despite sustaining damage to the left front and discovering a bent W-link after the race, Cappetta fought through the adversity to bring home another top-five finish in the feature.

“The car felt a little off, but when I moved the wing back, it helped a lot,” Cappetta explained. “We didn’t realize the W-link was bent until we washed the car, so I’m proud of the result considering the circumstances. My crew has been working incredibly hard, and we’re all learning and improving each week.”

Much of Cappetta’s confidence this season stems from a revitalized team dynamic, including a new crew chief who brings both mechanical knowledge and driving experience to the table.

“Having someone who understands how the car feels from a driver’s perspective makes such a difference,” she said. “The communication has been great—we’re constantly reviewing video, breaking things down, and having real conversations about what to try next.”

That growing confidence has Cappetta eyeing additional races beyond Lincoln Speedway. With her second car nearly ready and her schedule opening up following softball coaching duties, she’s targeting potential appearances at Port Royal on July 19 and possibly a trip to Williams Grove.

“We’ve been gelling more each week, and once we have that second car ready, we’ll be able to move around a bit more,” she added. “We’ll probably shake it down with a test session first, just to make sure everything is right.”

For now, Cappetta is focused on staying consistent and continuing to build momentum in the Apple #12—a car that carries special meaning for her.

“Running this scheme permanently is a dream come true. I looked up to Greg [Hodnett] so much, and I know how legendary that 12 car is. I’m not trying to live up to anything—I just want to keep improving and represent it well.”

Looking ahead, Cappetta has her sights set on the Steve Smith Tribute Race on May 31 at Lincoln—a night that holds deep personal significance. Her father was a longtime mechanic for the late Steve Smith Sr., and the Smith family continues to support Cappetta’s team.

“Winning that race would be huge—not just for me, but for my dad and the whole Smith family. Steve didn’t like the spotlight, but he was a hell of a wheelman, and it’s going to be special to honor him in that way.”

Fans can also look forward to new Apple #12 merchandise rolling out soon, and Cappetta expressed heartfelt thanks to those who continue to support her both at the track and through merchandise sales.

“People don’t always realize how much that support helps us keep going,” Cappetta said. “If you can’t sponsor a car, buying a t-shirt is just as appreciated in my book.”

Progress Amidst Challenges: Lattomus Makes Show at BAPS on Heels of Outlaw Debut, Announces New Fan Engagement Initiatives

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

York Haven, PA – May 20, 2025

After competing in his first two World of Outlaws events, Preston Lattomus reflects on the invaluable experience gained from racing against some of the best in the sport. The deep fields and competitive environment have provided him with unique learning opportunities that are critical for his development as a driver.

“Getting to race with the Outlaws definitely helps in trying to learn as a driver,” Lattomus remarked. “The biggest takeaway was racing with such a high level of good cars and drivers. Competing with better cars and drivers certainly makes you better as a driver.”

Yet, amid the excitement, Lattomus identifies time trials as an area for improvement. 

“Time trials have been my biggest flaw recently. It puts me behind early in the night, and it’s something that needs to improve for me to get better,” he acknowledged. 

Lattomus is focused on gaining more opportunities to qualify, stating, “The main thing I can do is to get more laps and learn to put together two solid laps that can set me up for a good night.”

Outside the cockpit, Lattomus is learning from his fellow competitors. 

“I always try to learn from the guys who are fast and getting good results. Whether watching them off the track or following them on it, taking mental notes is important for making myself better.”, Lattomus shared.

Making the A-main at BAPS Motor Speedway Sunday night provided a confidence boost, as Lattomus secured a spot in the main event against a challenging 39-car field. 

“Making the feature definitely helps all around. Getting 30 good laps makes me more confident, as I get to learn more.”, Lattomus shared while reflecting on the night.

As he looks forward to upcoming races at Williams Grove and Lincoln Speedway, Lattomus is eagerly anticipating the growth and learning opportunities that await. 

“Next weekend is a great opportunity to make good laps and have a good run or two. With a bigger race in town taking most high-quality guys out of the equation, it presents a good week of learning and growing as a driver in Central PA,” he concluded.

Lattomus continues to embrace each experience, both on and off the track, as stepping stones in his promising future behind the wheel.

Adrian Tetreault: From New Hampshire Roots to Southern Soil – A Passion for Racing, Purpose, and Paying It Forward

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Memphis, TN – May 5, 2025

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

For Adrian Tetreault, racing isn’t just a pastime — it’s a calling that’s taken him from the midget racing in New Hampshire to the sprint car circuits of the South. Now piloting a 305 sprint car under the Baker River Racing banner, Tetreault is navigating not only dirt tracks but also a deeply personal mission: to find speed, gain seat time, and ultimately give back to the sport that’s given him so much.

After stepping away from the driver’s seat for a few years, the racing itch returned with force. A night at a midget race back home sparked something. “I said to myself, ‘I need to do this again,’” Tetreault shared. And just like that, the journey resumed — beginning with a midget car in New Hampshire before work brought him south to Memphis, Tennessee, where midget racing opportunities are scarce. “The closest midget race down here is three to four hours away and pays $50 to start. That’s not sustainable,” he explained. “So, I pivoted to 305 sprint cars, which are more common here.”

While still early in his 305 career, Tetreault is already checking off goals. “I’ve only got maybe 100-120 laps in a sprint car, so just getting comfortable in the seat is the biggest focus this year,” he said. “I’ve already gotten a top 10 finish — sure, it was by attrition, but a top 10 is a top 10 in the books.”

Long-term, Tetreault’s vision stretches far beyond personal results. “I’m not in my 20s anymore — I’m in my 50s, and I know I’ve lost some of that edge,” he admitted. “My five-year plan is to get out of the seat and put a deserving young driver — someone who might never otherwise get the opportunity — into the car. I’m not going to sell the ride. I want to offer it to someone who deserves it.”

This philosophy of giving back isn’t just talk. Tetreault and his team are closely involved with the Cars on Main charity car show — the only invitation-only exotic car show in the Mid-South. Proceeds go directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “It’s free to attend, and you’ll see QR codes throughout the show encouraging donations,” he said. “Every single penny goes to St. Jude. If you’ve ever read their mission statement — no child or parent pays a cent — it’s incredibly moving. Supporting them is something we take very seriously.”

In 2025, Baker River Racing plans to run the full schedules of the Southern Sprint Car Association and Renegade Sprint Car Series, with additional starts at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis and select USCS 360 sprint car events. “We’re mixing in some travel to chase better payouts and stronger fields,” he noted. “Eventually, we’re looking to make the jump to a 360 motor — ideally before the end of this year.”

In terms of support, Tetreault is thankful for a tight-knit group of partners and volunteers who help keep the wheels turning. “John Howard builds our motors, staying within our modest budget — I couldn’t do this without people like the Howard family,” he said. “Most of our sponsors are product-based, and we self-fund the rest, selling T-shirts and spare parts when we can.”

He also plans to expand the team’s digital footprint through a YouTube channel, @BakerRiverRacing. “We’re not the next big thing on YouTube, but we’re putting together short updates and behind-the-scenes clips — just something to help connect with fans and maybe attract a little support.”

Ultimately, Tetreault’s story is one of perseverance, purpose, and passion. “I love this sport. And I want to make sure someone else gets a shot that I didn’t have until I was almost 50,” he said. “We may be small budget, but we’re racing with big goals.”

Ashley Cappetta to Pilot Iconic Apple #12 Sprint Car for Remainder of 2025 Season

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Berlin, PA – April 26, 2025

In an announcement that’s sure to strike a chord with Central Pennsylvania race fans, Ashley Cappetta is set to carry one of the most iconic looks in Central PA racing history through the remainder of the 2025 season. Cappetta will pilot a throwback version of the famed Apple #12 in the 358 sprint car division, paying tribute to her racing hero Greg Hodnett, with support from longtime Central PA sprint car owner and sponsor Bob Stewart.

Originally built to pace the field at the Greg Hodnett Classic at Port Royal Speedway, the Apple #12 tribute car was only intended to make a one-off appearance. The striking red-and-white machine — complete with the smiley apple and Apple Chevrolet branding — captured the attention and emotions of fans and the racing community alike. That reaction, coupled with encouragement from Stewart and others close to Hodnett’s legacy, has brought the car back in full force for 2025.

“What started out as just a tribute has grown into something really special,” said Cappetta. “The plan was to honor Greg at Port Royal and then again at Lincoln for the Weldon Sterner Memorial, and that would be it. But the fan interaction, Bob’s interest, and the emotion tied to seeing that car on track again — it was too meaningful to stop there.”

Cappetta recently raced the car at the rescheduled 2024 Sterner Memorial at Lincoln Speedway, where she finished fourth in the feature. “It felt like fate,” she shared. “My crew drew the 12 pill, Bob was there, I won my heat, and I just kept thinking — maybe this isn’t done yet.”

Following a Sunday conversation with Stewart, the two agreed to keep the Apple #12 on track for the rest of the season — with its classic look preserved and Cappetta’s sponsors integrated into the design. The original Apple car’s stripes, color scheme, smiley apple, and signature #12 will all remain, while new logos will be added in non-disruptive locations.

“It’s a car that means everything to me,” Cappetta said. “Greg Hodnett wasn’t just a driver I admired — he’s the reason I fell in love with racing. I met him as a kid in 2004 when he was driving this car, and my uncle Rob, who introduced me to sprint cars, built the motors for the 12 back then. This is part of my story.”

Cappetta reached out to Sherry Hodnett before moving forward with the full-season plans. “Sherry has always known how much Greg meant to me, and she was genuinely happy about it. I think we both feel like this is a way to keep his legacy alive.”

Although the car will proudly carry Cappetta’s name on it for fans’ recognition, the hood will continue to list Greg Hodnett as the driver — a subtle but powerful symbol of the legacy that continues to inspire her every lap.

This partnership also marks the return of Bob Stewart to a more prominent presence in the sport. Stewart, who previously owned the Apple 12 team, and has sponsored Ashley previously in her career, steps back in as a primary sponsor for Cappetta in this emotional and respectful revival.

“This wasn’t supposed to happen,” Cappetta admitted. “This was just going to be a tribute. But now here we are — and I’m honored, overwhelmed, and ready to make the most of this opportunity. I know I can never be Greg, and Bob doesn’t expect me to be — but I want to make him, Greg, my crew, and all my sponsors proud.”

Plans are already in the works for new merchandise featuring the Apple #12 tribute design, with shirts expected later this season.

Weldon Sterner Memorial Recap: A Special Night in the Apple 12

Last Saturday’s Weldon Sterner Memorial was an emotional and meaningful night for Ashley Cappetta, both on and off the track. While a trip to victory lane would have been the icing on the cake, Ashley walked away with a strong fourth-place finish in just her third outing with a new crew chief. She also picked up a heat race win, earning a $100 bonus and a gallon of cider from Mickley’s Orchard & Farm.

The event held special significance as Ashley piloted the iconic Apple Motorsports No. 12—a car deeply tied to her childhood and her favorite driver, Greg Hodnett. “That car wasn’t just any car to me,” she said. “It was a part of my childhood, my inspiration.” The moment was made even more special with longtime Apple 12 car owner Bob Stewart in attendance, marking one of his first trips to the track in years—just to see the 12 car on the track again. “He told me after I took the lead in the heat, he started to tear up,” Ashley said. “That meant the world.”

Ashley praised the fan support and the atmosphere around the event, which included a fan zone meet-and-greet before the races. “That’s what I loved as a kid—meeting drivers—and it’s important to give that opportunity to the next generation of fans,” she said. With Lincoln Speedway staff helping behind the scenes, Ashley was able to focus on giving feedback to her new crew, something she’s been prioritizing this year.

Despite a few early challenges in the feature, she battled back from sixth to finish fourth. “The car kept getting better,” Ashley said. “I think that last caution hurt our momentum, but I’m still proud of how we performed.” Preparation at the shop has stepped up this year, including focusing on consistent maintenance—changes she feels are already paying off.

ABOUT  ASHLEY CAPPETTA

Ashley Cappetta is a second-generation racer following her uncle’s footsteps. She started her racing career in 2012. It was her first year piloting her race car but certainly not her first exposure to the sport. She was introduced to racing by her father, who was Steve Smith’s crew chief. Her uncle, Rob Cappetta was also involved in the sport driving his own #89 sprint car and went on to be a gasman for Robert Yates Racing. Ashley is making her own way by being the first female in her family to set center stage as a driver. Ashley has had a couple of years of sprint car experience with various teams, starting out as a crew member doing such simple tasks as scrapping mud to advancing her skills into doing maintenance for her own race car. Ashley showing her success with not only her abilities working on her race car but also by winning a Hard Charger Award in only her first season racing. Ashley feels she has the best of both worlds by not only knowing how to race but by having the knowledge of the mechanics and being able to provide detailed feedback to her team. Her goal is to continue to grow as a racer and work her way up through the sprint car division.

Adapting to Challenges: Preston Lattomus on Qualifying, Learning, and Growth

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Abbottstown, PA – April 23, 2025

Preston Lattomus said from the beginning that his rookie campaign in a winged 410 sprint car would be all about seat time.  The more laps, the better.  

He’s right.  The tough Central Pennsylvania sprint car scene can be unforgiving, and the only way to assimilate is to keep playing the game until you understand all the nuances and get really good at it.

So far in April, Lattomus has competed at three different tracks in a total of five events.

“I’m not where I want to be, but we have been experiencing something new almost every week.  It’s either a new track for me in a 410, or even if I have been there before, it might have been a day race, and the next time it’s a night race.”, Lattomus explained.

“I’m just trying to make features and get the maximum number of laps I can each night out because that’s the fastest way to learn.”

QUICK RESULTS:

  • Date/Location:  April 4, 2025 – Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  Heat 8th (8), A-main 16th (19)
  • Date/Location:  April 5, 2025 – Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  Heat 10th (4), A-main 20th (23)
  • Date/Location:  April 13, 2025 – BAPS Motor Speedway, York Haven, PA
  • Stats:  Group Qualifying 5th, Heat 6th (5), B-main 6th (3)
  • Date/Location:  April 18, 2025 – Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  Group Qualifying 14th, Heat 8th (7), B-main 7th (11)
  • Date/Location:  April 19, 2025 – Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  Qualifying 24th, Heat 8th (8), A-main 18th (23)

One of the key differences that Lattomus is working to adapt to is qualifying under the clock, often referred to as time trials.  That was something that was pretty rare in the 358 sprint car division.

“I need to qualify better and put myself in a position to race with better cars.  Racing with the experienced, veteran drivers makes you better.”, Lattomus said.

“In 358’s, I came to the track knowing I could win any given night.  I had the confidence because I had raced a lot, and I knew how to achieve that.  Already this season, my thinking has changed to being a student of the game.”

Lattomus has good support in his pit to help him on his journey.  Scott McClaren, who made a lot of the decisions and adjustments for the 358 team, is still there.  Kyle Reinhardt, who recently stepped out of the seat after ten successful years in a 410 sprint car, is also there.  Reinhardt collaborates with McClaren and Lattomus, mentoring the young driver and handling a lot of the adjustments.

“Kyle and Scott have been great.  I told Kyle I feel like I need to do a better job of giving feedback on what I feel and what I need.  There’s a lot to process and get used to, so I can be good at that.  I’ll get there.”, Lattomus shared.

It’s not all about the experience in the cockpit.  The team has battled a few mechanical and motor issues in the early going this season.  Every team faces that.  Lattomus knows he has the equipment and the support around him to be competitive, and he knows he will get there.

“I try to focus on the big picture, the learning, the improvements.  If I get too wrapped up in results, it can take a toll on my confidence.  I just take a day to process our night, put things in perspective, and learn from the opportunities.”, Lattomus explained.

“While I expect to be good and I challenge myself to be the best I can be, I take a moment to realize where I am in the scheme of laps and races.  I’m competing against guys who have a lot of 410 races under their belt.”

Lattomus is looking forward to the team’s upcoming three-race weekend and is aiming to capitalize on it to log a lot of laps.  Over the upcoming April 25-27 weekend, the team will compete at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, and BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday.

“The challenge of putting together the best laps I can in qualifying or in a race is exciting to me.  I’m excited about the opportunity I have to race this Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, EZGO Golf Cars, Betts Garage No.91 sprint car.  I’m excited because I know what we can and will accomplish eventually.”
