Saturday night’s Elijah Hawkins Memorial at Lincoln Speedway was not the best night of the season for Cappetta and the team, but Ashley looks at the night as a learning experience and an opportunity to regroup and make adjustments for the next race.

“The pill draw wasn’t terrible but it was enough to put me in the back of the heat race.” Track conditions did not help Cappetta’s efforts to move forward in her heat, “The track was really dry by the time we went out. Turns 1 and 2 were really slick and you had to hit the bottom of the corner just right.” Cappetta lined up sixth for the heat race and finished fourth, one spot shy of the redraw, “I made a two-car pass in the first turn and then settled in. I was hoping to make the invert but with the way the track was it was hard to get up to where we needed to be.” 

Ashley lined up 15th for the start of the feature, “On the initial start I got up to 13th after passing two cars in the first turn.” Unfortunately for Cappetta, the initial start was called back and the complete restart did not go as well, “On the second start I got shuffled back and got stuck behind someone. I had a lot of wheel spin off the turns and the car wasn’t good enough to move ahead.” Anytime Cappetta would get up to pass someone they would pass her back coming off turn 4. Cappetta continued to have pain in her hand and it amped up during the feature, “Overall it really wasn’t a good night, but the team will make some adjustments for the next race and regroup and work to do better.” Ashley crossed the line 16th to close out the 20-lap feature. 

After starting off the season strong Cappetta and the team will look to rebound and pick up where they left off at Lincoln on June 22.

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

/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.

  • 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.

Tony Jackson and Scott Hess Racing Show Consistency and Progress with Career-Best Weekend in 410 Division

/in , , /by

Abbottstown, PA – June 13, 2024

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.

WEEKEND RESULTS

June 8 – Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, PA – Heat race: 6 (3); Feature: 13 (17). 

June 9 – Lincoln Speedway in Abbottstown, PA –Qualifying: 18; Heat race: 7 (6); Feature: 11 (21).

Cappetta Continues to Head in the Right Direction; Solid Top 10 in the Books at Lincoln

/in , /by

Abbottstown, PA – June 6, 2024

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Ashley Cappetta put together a solid night at Lincoln for the Steve Smith Tribute Race on Saturday despite battling severe pain in her hand. The Steve Smith race is a special one for Cappetta and the team as Ashley’s dad worked for Smith during his Hall of Fame career.

Cappetta lined up third for her heat race, “the car was ok in the heat race. I could have been tighter to be a little more comfortable.” Despite not being 100% Ashley finished second in the heat, putting her in the redraw, “There wasn’t much passing in the heat race and as soon as everyone got settled after the start it pretty much stayed that way. I did start to feel a little better after I moved the wing back. I probably could have gotten up on the wheel more but by lap 3 my hand started to cramp and I knew I was in a redraw spot and wasn’t going to do anything crazy.”

Unfortunately, Ashley had been experiencing pain in her hand for a few weeks which did not make wheeling a race car an easy task.

The redraw led to a twelfth-place starting spot for the feature, which was the worst starting spot in the redraw but with a new outlook on things Cappetta said, “Pill draws happen for a reason.” Starting a little further back ended up not being a bad thing as it allowed Cappetta to avoid some incidents early in the race.

Around lap five of the 20-lap feature, Cappetta’s hand started to cramp again, “With my hand in the condition it was, I felt like I did the best we could. I moved around on the track until I felt comfortable. The cautions helped with my hand, but I could hear someone behind me.”

Ashley crossed the line seventh, her second seventh-place run of the season, “I’m ok with seventh. Going out there to do my best and moving forward is obviously a positive.” Overall Cappetta and the team are heading in the right direction, “I feel like we’re getting close, we’re about 80% there with just a few things to work on to get 100% comfortable.”

Positive Outlook

A lot can change in a year, and that is definitely the case for Ashley Cappetta and the Cappetta Racing Team, “We’re already three races in and rolling off better than our entire season last year. It’s a lot easier going to the track now after constantly struggling all last season. We definitely have more of a positive outlook.”

Another aspect that has changed this season is Cappetta’s approach to pill draw, “This season I’m not letting the pill draw deter me like I did last year. The first race of the year helped with that. Coaching softball has helped with that too, I’ve been preaching to the girls about making your own luck and to look at things more positively.”

Carlisle’s Keen Gaining Ground in 410 Sprint Car Competition

Port Royal, PA – June 5, 2024

When the 2024 race season opened in PA Posse territory, Central Pennsylvania. Kyle Keen had plans to divide his time between his 358 and 410 sprint cars.  

After an early great run in his 358, leading laps at BAPS Motor Speedway, motor issues forced Keen to jump in the 410 for a few weeks.  That period of time altered his plans for the season.  He has now committed to the 410 program and finds himself two months into that venture, taking his lumps and learning along the way.  

Gaining experience in a 410 sprint car in Pennsylvania is like learning to play baseball at the major league level but the Carlisle, PA native has held his own thus far.  The first couple outings were rough but when last weekend came to a close, Keen had qualified for six of the last eight events he entered.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  May 31, 2024

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  25 cars, Qualifying 18th, Heat 7th (6), A-main 20th (21)

DATE:  June 1, 2024

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  29 cars, Heat 8th (6), B-main 6th (6), A-main 19th (24)

SMALL WINS, BIG STEPS

Keen’s weekend kicked off Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway where he turned in a qualifying lap that put him 18th of the 25 cars on hand.  A closer look was even more telling.  His lap was only 0.216 seconds slower than the 10th place car, a sign of not only how competitive the fields are in Central PA but also a sign of the progress the team is making with the Fine Line Auto Body, Hess Bid / Hess Auctioneers, Keen Parts / CorvetteParts.net, Shetron Trailers, Heishman Racing Fuels, DL Lehman Construction No.17k.

Keen went on to record a 7th place heat race finish and a 20th place feature finish.  

Dialing in a car under race conditions where longer races, more traffic and dirty air are the primary challenges, is always the most challenging area for a young team to develop.  Keen is less than a dozen races into his 410 sprint car career, so it’s still very early for him and his team on that front.

Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway, Keen’s pill draw put him in the back of his heat race lineup.  He and the team struggled to overcome that and ended up running the B-main.  

Keen was able to hold his own in the B-main and make the finale with a 6th place finish.  He then went on to convert that 24th starting spot into a 19th place finish.

“We had better weekend and made some progress.  We are starting to get a grasp on this 410 stuff.  Saturday night we really hit on something that made me much for comfortable in the B-main and used it for the feature, now just have to build off of that. “, Keen said.

“Thanks to everyone who supports us! We will be back next weekend!“

UP NEXT

Keen will return to both Williams Grove Speedway and Port Royal Speedway this weekend to continue building up his team’s notebook and his experience.

The team’s current plans are to race each opportunity at those two well-known facilities each weekend throughout the month of June.

Keen is racing more than ever to build his notebook and accumulate experience.  It will be a journey worth watching to see what level the Carlisle, PA native reaches by the end of his first season in a 410 sprint car.

SEASON STATS

358 SPRINT CAR:  1 race, 0 wins, 0 top 5’s, 0 top 10’s, 1 top 15, 1 top 20

Newlin Battles Back at Williams Grove After Early Contact

/in , /by

Mechanicsburg, PA – June 4, 2024

Zach Newlin kicked off his season at Williams Grove Speedway back in March with a runner-up finish but since then it has been an uphill battle to get back into the top five.  

April’s events were rained out and earlier in May he struggled to two finishes outside the top fifteen.

As the month of May came to a close Friday night, Newlin was back at ‘The Grove’ in the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m aiming to get back to where the team started.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  May 31, 2024

  • Class:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Heat 9th (7), A-main 12th (20)

 

COSTLY CONTACT

Newlin appeared to be on his way to achieving his goal at the start of the night.  

The Millerstown, PA native started 7th in his heat, was up to 5th, and challenging for 4th with one lap to go when contact initiated by another car caused him to spin off turn two.  Although he was able to restart, the one remaining lap was not enough to climb back into a transfer spot.  He finished 9th.

In the B-main, Zach wasted no time ensuring he would put the Mansberger 21m in the show.  On the opening lap he charged from 5th to 2nd, then pursued Williams Grove 358 sprint point leader Doug Hammaker for the lead.  Newlin settled for the runner-up finish and a spot in the finale.

Starting deep in the 25-lap feature field, Newlin started moving forward from the drop of the green.  From the 20th starting spot, he climbed inside the top fifteen by lap seven.  His progress continued and culminated with a 12th-place finish.

“Moving forward a few spots in the heat and eight spots in the feature shows we made progress tonight, so we will build on that.”, Newlin commented.

UP NEXT

The next outing for Newlin in the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m will likely be June 21st at Williams Grove Speedway.

Stay tuned to Zach’s social media outlets listed below to be the first to know when schedule updates are posted!  

Marketing partnership opportunities are available for the 2024 season!

Reinhardt’s Memorial Day Weekend Brings Another Top-10 at Williams Grove, Mixed Results with High Limit Racing

/in , /by

Bechtelsville, PA – May 31, 2024

The season has been a bit of a roller-coaster thus far for Kyle Reinhardt.  He and his Capitol Renegade team have been working hard to get back to the consistent results they achieved in 2023.  

The Memorial Day weekend provided multiple opportunities for the team to find their groove.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  May 24, 2024

  • Event:  John Trone Tribute
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  39 cars, Group B Qualifying 6th, Heat 2nd (2), A-main 8th (12)

DATE:  May 26, 2024

  • Event:  Bob Weikert Memorial
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  53 cars, Qualifying 35th, Heat 3rd (1), B-main 13th (11)

DATE:  May 28, 2024

  • Event:  Thunder On The Hill
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Grandview Speedway
  • City, State:   Bechtelsville, PA
  • Stats:  42 cars, Group B Qualifying 8th, Heat 5th (3), A-main 17th (20)

ANOTHER TOP TEN

The John Trone Tribute race at Williams Grove Speedway was the weekend kickoff for Reinhardt in the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.  

Reinhardt’s qualifying lap scored him 6th in the Group B qualifying results and put him on the outside of the front row for his heat race.  He brought home a runner-up finish behind Danny Dietrich in that 8-lap qualifying race.

In the night’s 25-lap finale, Reinhardt took the green from outside row six.  He jumped into the top ten on the opening circuit, then continued to push forward.

At the checkers, Reinhardt crossed the line 8th, logging his second consecutive top-ten finish at the legendary oval.

MIXED BAG

Saturday night Port Royal Speedway, and every other track in the region, succumbed to the rain.  The weather condensed the High Limit Series’ sanctioned Bob Weikert Memorial to a one-night event boasting $75,000 to the winner.

Sunday brought beautiful weather for the finale at ‘The Speed Palace’.  Reinhardt timed 35th in the field of 53, then turned in a 3rd-place run in his heat.  His points total after qualifying landed him in the B-main, where he finished 13th.

Aiming to regroup on Tuesday night with 42 teams on hand at Grandview Speedway’s High Limit Racing event, Reinhardt registered a solid time trial lap that ranked him 8th quickest in Group B.  

A 5th place finish in his heat race put Reinhardt 20th on the grid for the A-main, which he converted into a 17th place finish.  

“Port has been a struggle for me for the last few years but I am making progress on my car everywhere else and definitely getting a more consistent feel.”, Reinhardt commented on his up-and-down weekend.

UP NEXT

Reinhardt will take the upcoming weekend off.  He will return to action June 8th at Lincoln Speedway for the Elijah Hawkins Memorial.

SEASON STATS

12 races, 0 wins, 0 top 5’s, 3 top 10’s, 7 top 15’s, 9 top 20

Kody Hartlaub to Drive Trone Outdoors’ No. 39 Sprint Car

/in , /by

Port Royal, PA – May 29, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Luke Ritz Photography

Kody Hartlaub has shown a ton of potential in his young 410 sprint car career.  

He has some impressive stats but so far this year the combination of inexperience and being in the wrong place at the wrong time on a few occasions have prevented him from truly cashing in on the speed his Ninety Five Motorsports team has had.

Last week Hartlaub was collected in a hard crash at the start of his heat race that left him banged up physically and in terms of equipment.  

Just when it looked like Hartlaub would be sidelined for a couple of weeks, the storyline changed.  Five days after the crash, he’s still sore but improving.  

Then came the text from Steve Siegel that brought the East Berlin, PA driver to a meeting with John Trone and Kevin Frey on Tuesday night.

HISTORY OF THE 39

Just one week ago, Williams Grove Speedway presented the John Trone Tribute race.  That might be all you need to know about the impact of the longtime car owner on Central Pennsylvania sprint car racing. 

Trone has owned and entered the No.39 in events since 2007, with well-known drivers such as Greg Hodnett, Keith Kauffman, and Doug Esh among others piloting his car to successful seasons.  Over the years, his team has won championships and big races and raced up front with the best of the best at Knoxville.

The roots of it all run back to John’s father, Ray, who first fielded the No.39 in 1955.  For 17 years he had success with names like Dubendorf, Zirkle, Spriggle, Hersh, and Leppo behind the wheel. When Ray retired from the sport in 1972, the dust settled until John resurrected the family’s ties to the sport by sponsoring TJ Stutts.  That evolved into ownership and the rest is history as they say.

THE PLAN

The outcome of Tuesday night’s meeting is that Hartlaub will pilot the Trone No.39 for a few weeks initially.  After that, a decision will be made about continuing the partnership for more races together.

Communication will be a big key during the trial.  Siegel is close friends with Frye and Hartlaub, mentoring the latter in recent years, so his involvement and input will be valuable.

“I’m excited to even have the opportunity to drive such an iconic car in the Central PA area. I’ve always said that history and experience is one thing that can not be replaced and that is one thing the 39 car has plenty of. If everything goes the best it can over then next few weeks I think that is a win in everyone’s book.”, Hartlaub said.

BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER

Trone’s team certainly has the resources to be successful.  In recent years a handful of drivers have filled the seat of his car but success has been limited.  In racing, things ‘need to click’ as they say.  Sometimes they just don’t.

When the right people, resources, and partners do click, great things can happen.

Kody’s partners will join him in the Trone camp.  Brewer Home Improvements, J Fuels, MooseBlocks.com, Bigham Appraisal, Griffith Plumbing Services, T and N Solutions, and other long-time supporters of Hartlaub will appear on the car.

“I cannot thank my sponsors enough for allowing me to do this and John for doing whatever it takes to accommodate them.”, an appreciative Hartlaub added.

Hartlaub built his 358 program the right way but did so in a short span of time over the last few years.  He and partner Pat Brewer launched a 410 sprint car team last season for a few races as well.  

Hartlaub’s success drew the attention of Bill Rose, who put Hartlaub in his seat for a few World of Outlaw races late last year.  

Hartlaub entered this season as a full-time 410 driver in his own car with a goal of building it to a championship-caliber team just like he did with his 358 program.  That said, he knows the realities of what it will take to be good enough to be competitive week in and week out in Pennsylvania.  It will take time and experience.

This new pairing with Trone brings together a lot of knowledge, experience, resources, and ability.  That equals a lot of potential for all involved.

UP NEXT

The new Trone / Hartlaub combination will debut this Friday night,  May 31st, at Williams Grove Speedway at the legendary oval’s $8,000-to-win Diamond Series event.
