Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing are set to tackle four nights of racing as part of the 2024 Pennsylvania Speedweek series. The team will compete in a pair of events at Williams Grove Speedway (Friday, June 28th and Friday, July 5th) along with stops at BAPS Motor Speedway (Sunday, June 30th) and Hagerstown Speedway (Thursday, July 4th).

The ultra-competitive series spans 10 days at seven different facilities and guarantees a minimum of $ 10,000 to win for all events. In addition to the winner’s share of race day payouts, there is a large series point fund along with a multitude of contingency prizes up for grabs at each event.

With most of Pennsylvania’s best competitors expected to at least compete in a handful of events and many outside invaders looking to cash in on the fun, Jackson and Hess will have their hands full in their rookie crack at the legendary series.

“I think Speedweek is a cool deal and it’s a good opportunity to get some laps and run for some good money,” said Jackson. “Obviously as the 10 days go on, more and more cars will be showing up, so it’s going to be a learning experience and the goal will be to get in the show at each track we head to.”

Jackson enters the historic series with some momentum on his side, as he scored a career-best second-place finish two weeks ago in 410 Sprint Car competition at ‘The Grove’ during a night that saw the Newville, PA native win a heat race and lead 20 laps of the A-main.

It’s confidence from a run like that that has Jackson anxious for what Speedweek presents. 

“Anytime you can lead some laps and contend for wins, you’ve got to feel good about what you’re doing and how you’re progressing,” he said. “We’re starting to figure out Williams Grove a bit and going forward it’s going to be the bulk of our attention in the 410. I’m looking forward to two nights there and hopefully building on the gains we’ve made in qualifying and heats.”

Along with a familiar stop at BAPS, which is a place Jackson has won several times in winged and wingless sportsman competition, the team will make a trip to a bit of a wildcard in Hagerstown. 

Traditionally more of a late model staple in the Central PA and Maryland racing community, the track can often throw curveballs and bring about unique winners during the series. Jackson is no different than most, as he’s only ever competed twice at the Maryland facility, picking up a win in wingless sportsman action along the way.

“We’ve had Hagerstown circled all year as we’ve got some good sponsors out that way and this gives us a chance to let them see us closer to home and hopefully, we can represent them well,” said Jackson. “Hagerstown can be slick, so it’s tough to know how our program will stack up there. I have won there once before, so I guess that’s on our side. We’re going to go in with an open mind, make some good laps, and hopefully at the end of the night we’ll be talking about a feature run.”

Newlin Records 358 Podium Finish at Grove, Takes On Port Royal in 410

Port Royal, PA – June 25, 2024

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

/0 Comments/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.

UP NEXT

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

Hartlaub Nets Podium Finish, Gelling Quickly with Trone 39 Team

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.

Kyle Reinhardt Scores Top-5 in First Trip to Huset’s Speedway

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Eagle, NE – June 13, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Kyle Reinhardt was preparing to race his own No.91 at Lincoln Speedway’s Elijah Hawkins Memorial last weekend but his plans quickly changed when Bernie Stuebgen reached out and asked the Neptune City, NJ native to wheel his Indy Race Parts No.71 at a couple of Midwest shows.

Reinhardt filled the seat of Stuebgen’s car at a High Limit Racing event last year at Grandview Speedway.  He recorded a top-ten finish that night.  Opportunity knocked again last week to wheel the car at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night and again a few days later at the Eagle Raceway (NE) High Limit Racing event.

  • Track:  Eagle Raceway
  • City, State:   Eagle, NE
  • Stats:  43 cars, Group B Qualifying 12th, Heat 6th (6), B-main 5th (6)

MIDWEST MISSION

Reinhardt’s first trip to Knoxville Raceway in 2024 Saturday night was also his first time in the seat of the No.71 this year.  With only a few hot laps under his belt, he took to the half-mile for qualifying.  His best lap ranked him 19th in the field of 30.

A 7th-place run in his heat put him 19th on the grid for the A-main.  He netted a 17th-place finish in that 20-lap finale.

“We were behind the 8-ball tonight by about one track session.  We were playing catch-up all night but got better by the end.  I wish we had another go at it.”, Reinhardt said.

“Ripped the nose wing off when a few cars stacked up coming to the green in the feature. Bernie had the wrench spinning & made some big changes that got us better.” 

A last-minute decision early Sunday made Reinhardt and the Indy Race Parts No.71 a surprise entry at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, SD that night.  The 3/8-mile banked oval was another first for Reinhardt but it didn’t show.

He posted the 3rd quickest lap in Group A qualifying, then converted a 3rd place start in his heat race to a runner-up finish, putting himself solidly inside the top ten to start the A-main.

From his starting spot inside row four, Reinhardt grabbed the 6th spot on the opening circuit and settled in there until near the midpoint of the 25-lap finale.  

The car got even better in the late stages and Reinhardt didn’t waste it.  He cracked the top five on lap fourteen, then claimed the 4th spot on lap twenty-three, which is where he took the checkers.

“We definitely rebounded tonight.  That felt good.”, Reinhardt commented.

“I want to thank Bernie for the opportunity.  He gave me a great car.  I also want to thank Tod Quiring and Huset’s Speedway for having us.  That is a bad-ass track and I’m extremely happy I had the opportunity to race here.”

The third leg of Reinhardt’s Midwest tour took him to Eagle Raceway in Nebraska on Tuesday night.  A stout field of 43 teams was on hand for the $50,000-to-win High Limit Racing event.

Reinhardt clocked in 12th quickest in Group B qualifying.  A 6th place run in his heat race and 5th place finish in the B-main were both one spot short of claiming a spot in the A-main.

UP NEXT

Reinhardt will take the upcoming weekend off to conserve his engines for the upcoming Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek.

He will return to action in his Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, Coors Banquet Beer/Ace Distributing of PA, E-Z-GO Golf Cars/Golf Cart Services, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 on June 22nd at Lincoln Speedway for their PA Speedweek tune-up event.

With a frustration-filled month of May behind them, Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing scored a career-best weekend at a pair of Central Pennsylvania tracks over the weekend.

Jackson scored finishes of 13th at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa on Friday and 11th at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday. The top 15 finishes served as Jackson’s third and fourth of his rookie season in the 410 Sprint Car ranks and shows his progress made as he approaches the middle mark of 2024.

“Overall, it was a really good weekend and we’re starting to learn how to pass cars,” said Jackson. “We need to clean up a few things with qualifying and heat races, but we’ve made a lot of progress, and it was a good weekend.”

With a field of 22 Lawrence Chevrolet 410 Sprint Cars in attendance, Jackson kicked off the two-race weekend at Williams Grove on Friday. He finished sixth in a heat race to earn the 17th starting position in the A-main. He steadily moved forward throughout the feature and brought home a 13th-place finish at the checkered flag.

The duo then headed to Lincoln Speedway on Saturday to close out the weekend and amongst 22 competitors in attendance, timed in 18th quickest in time trials with a quickest lap of 14. 263 seconds. A seventh-place finish in a heat race locked Jackson into the night’s A-main event with the 21st starting position.

With $7,000 on the line for the Elijah Hawkins Memorial, Jackson showed incredible effort and determination as he moved forward ten positions to score an 11th-place finish. The result serves as Jackson’s career-best finish in the division.

“I was really happy with the run at the Grove, but to pass that many cars at Lincoln shows how good we really have been lately,” said Jackson. “We made some changes with the car to go back to making me comfortable and it seems to be working. It’s positive runs like that that will keep you coming back for more and hopefully, it’s a sign of things to come.”

The team will again tackle Williams Grove on Friday and Lincoln Speedway on Saturday for two races this weekend in 410 Sprint Car competition. While the goal will be to continue to learn and gain valuable seat time, Jackson and Hess are hoping for more positive momentum and results as they’re anxiously gearing up for their first crack at the always exciting Pennsylvania Speedweek in a few weeks.

Tentative plans have the team competing in six of the ten scheduled Speedweek events, with stops at Williams Grove (2), Lincoln (2), BAPS Motor Speedway (1), and Hagerstown (1) on the horizon.

“We want to stick to the plan of getting top 15 finishes and the plan directly ahead of us is to keep doing that,” said Jackson. “We’re knocking on the door of that first top ten. This can be a humbling sport, but it’s just hard to come from the back and if we can start better the results will speak for itself.”

“However, with Speedweek on the horizon and a bunch of races ahead of us, it’s important that I start breaking some of these habits and putting us in a better position in qualifying and heat races. We’re going to really focus on those things here the next few weeks and I’m looking forward to seeing where we stack up with the best our area has to offer come Speedweek,” he added.
