Kyle Reinhardt put a new car together last week in preparation for the upcoming World of Outlaws swing through Pennsylvania.  Friday at Williams Grove Speedway and Saturday at Lincoln Speedway would provide two opportunities to shake it down and dial it in before the invasion.

Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but that doesn’t mean you can’t accomplish your goals in the end.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  May 3, 2024

  • Event:  Outlaw Tuneup
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  31 cars, Qualifying – No Time, Heat 7th (11), A-main 14th (21)

UNPLANNED TEAMWORK

Friday night at Williams Grove got off to a tough start for Reinhardt when he got upside down before getting a qualifying lap in the books.  He quickly crawled out unharmed and began assessing the damage.

Reinhardt and his team, along with help from Tyler Ross, Danny Dietrich and Ryan Taylor, thrashed all around the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.  They needed to be ready for heat race number one and they got it done.  In less than 30 minutes it was race-ready again.

There were 31 cars on hand Friday night.  With the top six finishers from each heat transferring to the feature, Reinhardt had his work cut out for him from the 11th starting spot.  He came close, racing up to 7th.  

While he didn’t transfer, the effort put him in a solid spot for the B-main.  He started and finished 3rd to clear the first hurdle, making the show.

Reinhardt quickly moved forward in the 25-lap A-main, advancing from 21st to 16th during the opening laps, and went on to work his way to 14th by the time the checkers fell on the event.

“Obviously it was an unfortunate event to crash in time trials but we were able to get it back together and salvage the night.  Thanks to my guys, Tyler Ross, Ryan Taylor, and DD for lending a hand.“, Reinhardt said of the eventful night.

UP NEXT

Reinhardt will take on the World of Outlaws three times in the coming week in Central Pennsylvania.  Wednesday, May 8th he will enter the Gettysburg Clash at Lincoln Speedway.  

The Capitol Renegade team will then move 30 minutes north to Williams Grove Speedway for the two-day Morgan Cup battle between the Pennsylvania Posse and the traveling series.

Kody Hartlaub Posts Strong Sterner Memorial Run at Lincoln, Closes April With Trips to Williams Grove and Port Royal

/in , /by

Port Royal, PA – May 2, 2024

It’s no secret that Kody Hartlaub has more laps in a sprint car at Lincoln Speedway than anywhere else.  He has had plenty of success there, including wins and a championship in the 358 division.  In his young 410 sprint car career, he has posted strong qualifying and race results there as well.

Despite having fewer laps at places like BAPS Motor Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway, and Port Royal Speedway, the East Berlin, PA resident has shown flashes of speed and ability at those facilities too.

Hartlaub is focusing on seat time with a dash of variety in his destinations in 2024 as he tries to build a notebook, both for himself and his equipment, that will set up him to be a consistent contender in the years to come.

QUICK RESULTS

  • Stats:  35 cars, Group A Qualifying 7th, Heat 3rd (3), A-main 17th (11)

BIG TEST AT HOME

The lucrative Weldon Sterner Memorial brought a high-quality field of 32 cars to Hartlaub’s home track, Lincoln Speedway.  It would serve as an early measuring stick.  

Hartlaub was up to the task from the start.  He turned the 3rd quickest lap in his group in qualifying and backed it up with a 2nd place run in his heat race to earn a top ten starting spot in the biggest race of the season thus far in Central Pennsylvania.

In the 40-lap main event, Hartlaub eyed his first top-ten finish of the season but in the early going he faded back to 14th.  During the closing stages of the race he battled back, claiming an 11th place finish at the checkered flag.  

Although a top-ten finish would have looked better on paper, it was a strong night for Hartlaub against a very tough field that included a lot of veteran drivers.  It was a good night for the team’s notebook.

BRANCHING OUT

Hartlaub kicked off last weekend at Williams Grove Speedway where he qualified 6th fastest in his group, then recorded a 5th place finish in his heat race to put the Brewer Home Improvements, J Fuels, MooseBlocks.com, Bigham Appraisal, Griffith Plumbing Services, T and N Solutions No.95 in the show.

From his 18th starting spot, Hartlaub moved forward to a 15th-place finish in the 25-lap A-main.

The Ninety Five Motorsports team planned to compete at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night but when the track canceled due to weather, the decision was made to head to Port Royal Speedway for the first time in 2024 to begin collecting notes and experience.

The Keith Kauffman Classic attracted 35 teams to compete for an attractive purse.  Hartlaub had been to The Speed Palace in 2023 at the wheel of Bill Rose’s No.6 sprint car for the World of Outlaws event there but it was the first time circling the big fairgrounds oval in his own No.95.  

He wasted no time showing he could adapt. Hartlaub spun off the 7th quickest lap in Flight A during qualifying, then brought home a 3rd place finish in a competitive heat race.

The early evening effort provided Hartlaub with a solid starting spot for the event, inside row six.  He raced just outside the top ten during the first third of the 30-lap race but during a red flag for a mid-race incident, Hartlaub’s left rear tire was ignited by flames projecting from his header pipe.  

The fire was quickly extinguished but the issue brought an early end to his night.

Hartlaub summed up not only his weekend but probably his whole season so far in one statement.

“We just need to put a whole night together.”, he said.

The stats align with that statement.

“We have had good speed and/or good luck during part of every night out this year, but there’s always one point in the night where either we make the wrong decision, I make a mistake, or luck just doesn’t fall our way.”,  Hartlaub continued.

“That’s racing, but the more experience we get the more of those moments we can eliminate or overcome.  We are out here to finish up front and to win races.  We are making races and giving ourselves a chance to progress.  I’m happy with our effort and gains so far.  It’s still early, there’s a lot of racing to do this year.”

VALUED PARTNER

Hartlaub expressed a huge thanks to partner Bigham Appraisals, who have stepped up to make sure the team has the resources they need to run both upcoming World of Outlaws shows at Williams Grove Speedway May 10th-11th.

“We couldn’t do this without partners like Bigham Appraisals.  We greatly appreciate what they have done for us not only for the entire 2024 season and then stepping up with more to make sure we can compete with the Outlaws.”, Hartlaub said.  

UP NEXT

Hartlaub’s focus will turn aimed at Lincoln Speedway for the upcoming week.  Saturday night May 4th he will be in attendance there for the Outlaw tune-up event, then just four days later he will return to compete against the World of Outlaws at his home track.

Kyle Keen Making Strides in the Seat, Makes Third Straight Main Event

/in , /by

Port Royal, PA – May 1, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Kyle Keen’s name may not be appearing in the headlines or the top-ten rundown in 410 sprint car results yet, but he is quietly making big strides, which are likely mostly invisible to race fans.

Friday night he unloaded at Williams Grove Speedway, looking to make his 3rd consecutive A-main.  That’s not necessarily a ‘gimme’ in Central PA when you are up against 30-40 cars every night for one of those coveted 24 starting spots.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  April 26, 2024

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Stats:  31 cars, Group 1 Qualifying 7th, Heat 5th (5), A-main 21st (17)

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES ARE EVERYWHERE

Keen started his night at The Grove with a subpar qualifying run, putting him 7th in his eight-car group.  However, he quickly proved it’s not all about qualifying.

The Carlisle, PA native raced to a 5th place finish in his heat race to secure the final transfer position into the night’s 25-lap finale.   For Keen, it was his third consecutive A-main, which notably have come at three different tracks.  That is a positive sign.

At this stage of his young 410 sprint car career, every main event means an extra 25 to 30 laps of seat time.  That is valuable experience.  Not only does it allow the driver to learn what works and what doesn’t concerning his driving and his car’s setup, but he also gets to learn from those around him.  Even getting lapped has its benefits if you are paying attention.  Getting to watch how Danny Dietrich or Anthony Macri wheel their machines in front of you can be very valuable.

Keen raced inside the top twenty through the midpoint of Friday’s feature event, then slipped backward a few spots.  He eventually recovered some track position to finish 21st officially.

“It never looks good on paper that we went backward, but we made pretty large gains on our feature setup that made us a lot more competitive and more up to race speed.”, Keen shared.

“We didn’t just give up spots but guys had to race us to get by. I was happy with how much better the car felt but we still have work to do. For only our second time in a 410 at the grove, I was pleased with our performance. We will keep working hard to start moving forward!”

UP NEXT

Keen will bring his 410 sprint car to Williams Grove Speedway once again on Friday night May 3rd.  The team will make a decision later this week about heading to Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night.

SEASON STATS

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

410 SPRINT CAR:  4 races, 0 wins, 0 top 5’s, 0 top 10’s, 0 top 15’s, 2 top 20’s

Kyle Reinhardt Searching for Consistency Ahead of Outlaw Invasion

/in , /by

York Haven, PA – April 30, 2024

Kyle Reinhardt entered the weekend coming off of a top-ten finish at Lincoln Speedway’s Weldon Sterner Memorial, his best run of the young season.  The goal was to carry that into Port Royal Speedway’s Keith Kauffman Classic, then on to BAPS Motor Speedway.

Establishing consistent performance would be critical with World of Outlaws events just over the horizon.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  April 27, 2024

  • Event:  Keith Kauffman Classic
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  35 cars, Group A Qualifying 10th, Heat 5th (5), A-main 13th (18)

DATE:  April 28, 2024

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  BAPS Motor Speedway
  • City, State:   York Haven, PA
  • Stats:  35 cars, Group 4 Qualifying 2nd, Heat 3rd (3), A-main DNF/20th (12)

SEARCHING FOR CONSISTENCY

Reinhardt kicked off his weekend Saturday night with his first Port Royal Speedway appearance of the season.  His qualifying lap of 15.474 on the lightning-fast surface put him 10th in Group A.  

A 5th place finish in his heat race put Reinhardt 18th on the grid for the 30-lap main event, which played out as a story of survival.  

Reinhardt was able to avoid multiple crashes during the finale, climbing to a 13th-place finish when the checkered flag fell.

On Sunday, Reinhardt and his team moved down the road to BAPS Motor Speedway where he had numerous top-ten finishes last season.  In two starts this season, he had not been able to mirror those results, but things appeared to be looking up when he timed 2nd quickest in his group.

Reinhardt started and finished 3rd in his heat race, which put him outside row six to take the green in the 30-lap A-main.  He moved into 11th on lap two and appeared poised to advance into the top ten when things changed for the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.

Over the course of the next fifteen laps, Reinhardt lost seven spots, eventually retiring from the race early. 

“We’ve been struggling.  This car treated us well last year but it has not been the same since I had it fixed over the winter, so we will be putting a new car together this week.”, Reinhardt shared.

UP NEXT

Reinhardt will make his 2024 Williams Grove Speedway debut this Friday night, May 3rd, for the World of Outlaws tune-up.  The traveling series is set to invade the speedway one week later on May 10th.

On Saturday night May 4th, the Neptune City, NJ native will head to Lincoln Speedway for their Outlaw tune-up.  The series will roll into the Abbottstown, PA oval on Wednesday night, May 8th.

Weldon Sterner Memorial Success for Cappetta on All Fronts

/in , /by

Abbottstown, PA – April 25, 2024

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

After over a year of planning by Ashley Cappetta, Pat Sterner, presenting sponsor Chuck Reinert from Chuck’s Auto Parts Solutions and the team at Lincoln Speedway, the 20th annual Weldon Sterner Memorial finally came to fruition on Saturday night.

The pill draw monkey on Cappetta’s back finally took a night off when Chuck Reinert pulled the number 1 pill at pill draw, putting Ashley on the pole of her heat, “To have Chuck draw the 1 was impressive. It’s crazy to start on the pole, I haven’t started on the pole of a heat race in a long time.”

Before the heat race though, Cappetta hit the track for hot laps, “I didn’t get a good reading in hot laps after I got stuck behind someone that had never been there before. Even once I got around them, I didn’t get a good feel for the car, but I knew we’d have to change the set up anyway as the track was going to change quite a bit with time trials and the 410 heats running first.”

The initial start of the heat race saw a caution when a car spun, “I felt that Chad had a better start the first time and the restart definitely helped me since I got a better start the second time around.” Ashley was leading the heat race when the yellow came out again. On the restart, veteran driver, Frankie Herr was lined up in second. Cappetta held the lead on the restart with Herr not far behind, “I ran my heart out, yeah it was only a heat race, but it makes a difference.” Cappetta and Herr battled hard for the lead, with Herr taking the win, “I was happy with second. It put us in the redraw for the feature.”

Cappetta lined up eighth for the start of the 20-lap feature and felt progressively better as the race went on, “It was hard to pass, but after the caution I felt better.” One of the benefits of streaming is that the drivers can go back and watch their races, “When I watched the replay I saw I made a couple of mistakes and could have done a few things better.”

Overall Ashley was happy with how the night went on the track, “I feel like we’re making progress. The things we learned at the end of last season are helping us now. To make the show with 41 cars was an accomplishment in itself and to finish seventh was a blessing.”

Weldon Sterner Memorial Promotion

In addition to the great night on the track, Cappetta played an integral role in the promotion of the event, including the off-track activities on Saturday night, “It was nice to see everything come together and and everyone working together.”

The night started out with the Fan Zone, which gave the fans an hour to go into the pits and meet their favorite drivers, “I’m very happy with the Fan Zone and the great support we received from both the drivers and the fans.”

One of the things that made both the Fan Zone and the entire night a hit was the turnout of race teams. In total 73 cars showed up to support the 20th Weldon Sterner Memorial, 32 410 sprints and 41 358 sprints, “The 358 turnout was great and the field of 410 sprints was strong.”

“Having people, and unexpected people at that, come up to say I did a good job made me feel really good.” Ashley would like to potentially get involved in the promotion of more events in the future, “People have no idea all of the work that goes into promoting a race. There’s a lot that goes into putting something together this big.”

Cappetta, Pat Sterner and the team at Lincoln are already looking forward to the 21st Weldon Sterner Memorial on September 28.

Reinhardt Nets Top-10 in Solid Night at Lincoln Speedway’s Sterner Memorial

Abbottstown, PA – April 24, 2024

Kyle Reinhardt signed in at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night for the 20th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial looking to bounce back from a substandard night at the Abbottstown oval earlier in April.

In his most recent outing at BAPS Motor Speedway, the Neptune City, NJ native dialed in the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 over the course of the night and bounced back for a solid night.

With $20,000 awaiting the winner and an elevated purse throughout the field, Reinhardt was ready to get back to work.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  April 20, 2024

  • Event:  20th Annual Weldon Sterner Memorial
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Stats:  32 cars, Group 2 Qualifying 3rd, Heat 3rd (2), A-main 9th (12)

GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION

To set the field for the lucrative event, the 32 cars on hand were divided into four groups.  Drivers qualified against the cars in their group using time trials followed by heat races.

Reinhardt was the third car to hit the track in group two qualifying.  He laid down the 3rd quickest lap in the group, which put him on the front row for his heat race.

In the 10-lap qualifying race, Freddie Rahmer slipped under Reinhardt in turn one on the opening lap, dropping the No.91 to 3rd.   

Reinhardt had an opportunity to return the favor on a restart with eight laps remaining but couldn’t find an opening to reclaim the runner-up spot.  He held a firm grasp on 3rd the rest of the way.

From his starting spot outside row six in the 40-lap finale, Reinhardt raced his way into the top ten by lap three.  Late in the first half of the race, he briefly slipped out of the top ten but using a lap eighteen restart to his advantage, he battled all the way back to the 9th spot as the race reached the halfway mark.

Over the final twenty laps, Reinhardt pursued 8th place Devon Borden using the low side of the speedway.  A restart with seven laps remaining gave Reinhardt another chance to go on the attack.  He pressured Borden for 8th but he could not wrestle it away and settled for the 9th place finish.

“I’m happy with the progress. We made some good changes and had a better car than 9th but that’s racing sometimes.”, Reinhard commented.

UP NEXT

A two-race weekend is on the horizon for Reinhardt.  He will make his first visit of 2024 to Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, April 27th for the Keith Kauffman Classic.

On Sunday, April 28th, he will be in attendance at BAPS Motor Speedway’s 410 sprint car show.

Early Season Tribulations Strengthening Snook & 23 Car

/in , /by

York Haven, PA – April 23, 2024

by Derick Kriner / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

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.

Keen Puts It in the Show Again, Shows Consistency, Builds Sprint Car Experience

/in , /by

Port Royal, PA – April 23, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Kyle Keen has continued to throw himself into the fire that is the Central Pennsylvania 410 sprint car circuit, working hard to gain valuable experience under the toughest of circumstances.

He has fared pretty well thus far.  Saturday night he made his second consecutive A-main, giving himself the most laps possible to learn.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  April 20, 2024

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Stats:  27 cars, Heat 5th (2), A-main 18th (14)

CONSISTENCY

With 27 cars on hand at Port Royal Speedway, Keen’s pill draw put him on the front row of his heat race.  It took three attempts to get the race under green.  

When the action finally got rolling, Keen settled into 3rd for the first few laps.  He later slipped back a couple of spots at the hands of two veteran drivers who worked their way past the 410 rookie.

Keen held on to the 5th and final transfer spot to earn 25 more laps of education in the A-main.

“I knew it was gonna be a tall task to hold off really good cars behind me. I eventually found my groove around the top but slipped to 5th before I finally figured it out.”, Keen said of the heat race.

Keen started 14th in the feature and dealt with some of the same challenges he faced in last week’s feature, learning how to manage the rhythm of the longer race.  After falling as far back as 20th at one point, Keen made some forward progress and finished 18th. 

“I felt like we got better on entry and through the corner. Finished two spots better than last week’s feature, so that’s an improvement.”, Keen shared after the feature.

“We’ll keep working at it and get better every week.  Thanks again to my team and to all our marketing partners who support us!”

UP NEXT

Keen plans to race at Williams Grove Speedway Friday night April 26th.  The team is still evaluating options to determine if they will race Saturday or Sunday.

JJ Hickle Set to Debut with Sandvig Motorsports During 71st Annual Knoxville Opener

/in , /by

Knoxville, IA – April 18, 2024

by Justin Snyder / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Graphic Credit:  Justin Snyder

Sandvig Motorsports is set to embark on the 2024 racing season with JJ Hickle behind the wheel of their 410 Sprint Car this weekend at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.

If Mother Nature plays nicely, Hickle will take part in a test and tune session on Friday at ‘The Sprint Car Capital of the World’, before kicking off the season on Saturday as part of their 71st Annual Pella Motors/Kraig Ford Season Opener.

“I went and put my seat in the car and got my belts fitted with Mike’s car and there’s nothing really left but to go and do it,” said Hickle. “It seems like I’ve just been watching it rain and be cold here lately, so hopefully we can get 2024 started together and I couldn’t be any more excited!”

While this will be the first scheduled event of the season for the Sandvig No. 7, Hickle already has several races under his belt as he’s competed in 410 Sprint Car competition for Cook Motorsports and 360 Sprint Car competition for Winged Down Racing.

While he’s grateful for the opportunity to stay sharp and compete for victories, he’s anxiously looking forward to the opportunity to pilot the Sandvig Motorsports Sprint Car and start gelling as a team. Tentatively, the team plans to race in close to 50 events this season at various tracks with different series.

“It’s great to go do these one-off deals and get opportunities to drive fast race cars, but I’m really looking for a home,” said Hickle. “I think we can do that with Mike’s team and I’m excited to just get going, learn, and be in a situation where we can be consistent and grow together throughout the year.”

Along with Hickle being new to the program, several sponsors have committed in support of Sandvig Motorsports 2024 racing season. Renown Earth Works, HPP Hertz Precision Parts, GRP Motorsports, Heartland Kitchen Solutions, Rider Racing Engines, Kaiser Wheels, DeBerg Flooring, Eszlinger Electric LLC, A+ Power Washing and Boji Custom Metal Works, and Powder Coating will all be on the car. Hickle and Sandvig are grateful for all the support in chasing their season goals.

“Everybody knows Sprint Car racing isn’t a cheap sport and I’m appreciative of everyone who has come on board to make this deal happen,” Hickle said. “Mike has a bunch of supporters who have been with him for a while and I’m just looking forward to putting my best foot forward and representing them well on and off the track.”

With a team that has shown the ability to win over the years, with an eye toward the future, Hickle believes the pairing can lead to success. While he understands it might take time to get going, he believes he’s in a situation to succeed and compete for wins out of the gate.

“As a driver, all you can do is go out and make the best laps you can and see what happens,” said Hickle. “This deal takes work and I think both myself and Mike know if we work together toward the same goals, we can be fast and compete for wins. It might be a bit much to say we’re going to go out and win the first night out, but I think end of the night on Saturday we can have a good base of where we stand and hopefully, we’re running up front.”

Hartlaub Delivers Solid Performance at Lincoln Speedway, Struggles at BAPS

/in , /by

York Haven, PA – April 18, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos / WRT Speedwerx

Despite closing out the 2023 season with two top-ten finishes in his six 410 sprint car starts, Kody Hartlaub didn’t enter the 2024 season with any high expectations for his first full season in the division.

There is a lot of learning to be done and experience to be gained, and he knows that.  He also knows he has the ability, the team, and the equipment to be competitive on the tough Central PA circuit, so while still being realistic that there will be good days and bad, he sets the bar high for himself to limit mistakes and shorten the learning curve.

That’s the kind of mentality you need behind the wheel if you’re going to succeed.

SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE WINDSHIELD

April opened with Lincoln Speedway pushing their Saturday show to Sunday to doge Mother Nature.  Hartlaub and his Ninety Five Motorsports team were in the house for their fifth start of the season at the Abbottstown, PA oval.

With the move to Sunday, the event was changed to a time-trial show but that didn’t phase Hartlaub.  He turned in the 4th quickest lap in the 31-car field.  

Hartlaub started and finished 4th in his heat race, putting him on the outside of row three for the 30-lap A-main.  The East Berlin, PA resident was eyeing his first top ten of the season and possibly a top five if things went well.

Things didn’t unfold that way though and Hartlaub slipped back a few spots in the early going.  He held on to a top ten spot until the final lap, crossing the line 11th at the checkers.

“The car was pretty good.  I just got out-driven by guys who have more experience running the top like that on a daytime track.  Gained some experience today for next time.”, Hartlaub explained.

The end result clearly wasn’t what he was aiming for but overall it was a strong performance by the rookie against experienced quality competition.

SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE BUG

The following Sunday, April 14th, Hartlaub was back in action but this time the scene was BAPS Motor Speedway.  It was to be a two-race weekend for the team but Saturday’s event at Lincoln Speedway was cancelled due to the weather.

The format for the BAPS show used group, timed hot laps to set the heat lineups. Hartlaub found himself digging out of a hole from the beginning after qualifying 8th quickest in his group.  That put him 8th to take the green in his heat race and with only the top five transferring, he had a tall order on his hands.

Hartlaub did not transfer through the heat and was relegated to a 12th starting spot in the B-main, a 15-lap race with only the top four advancing to the main event.  He only managed a 9th-place finish, ending his day.

“Not going to sugar-coat that one.  We were terrible in time trials and it was tough to make up that lost ground with only one lane to race in during the heat.”, said Hartlaub of the uncharacteristic day.
