Thursday night’s rescheduled event at Lincoln Speedway attracted a field of 34 cars to take a shot at the $10,000 winner’s share of the purse.

Reinhardt’s lap of 13.463 put him 16th overall in a very competitive round of time trials.  It was so tight in fact, that had he been just 0.063 quicker, he would have ranked 10th quickest.

In an uneventful heat race, Reinhardt started and finished 3rd, locking the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 into the A-main.

Reinhardt started 13th in the 30-lap feature.  At the midpoint of the race, he was 12th but soon after, his Maxim came alive.  He cracked the top ten on lap 24, moved to 9th two laps later and was running down his next target when the first caution of the event appeared on lap 27.

The restart did not work in Reinhardt’s favor as he slipped back one spot.  Another caution appeared one lap later and once again the ensuing restart cost him a spot.  In the closing two laps he grabbed 9th momentarily but flashed under the checkered flag in 10th.

“The car just wouldn’t take off on those late restarts.  We have to figure out what happened there.  We were really good before the caution.  I felt like we had a top five car if it had stayed green.”, Reinhardt said.

Reinhardt drew the number two pill to get a front row starting spot for the 30-lap finale.  Again, the Neptune City, NJ native took command from the start but there was no point in the race where the competition allowed him to get comfortable out front.

Early on Dylan Norris pursued Reinhardt and challenged him as the leader caught lapped traffic.  He managed to get alongside a time or two but Reinhardt kept him at bay.  At the halfway point, Jeff Halligan moved into the runner-up spot and began to pressure Reinhardt.  

The race had yet to have a caution, keeping the leaders dicing through lapped traffic.  Halligan managed to pull a slider and get out front briefly but Reinhardt turned back under the No.45 and held the lead at the line.

The first caution of the race appeared with twenty-nine laps complete and one remaining.  On the restart, with clear track in front of him, Reinhardt pulled away by a few car lengths and took the victory.

“We needed that!  “, a very happy Reinhardt said.  “It’s really cool to get a win for Coors.“

“We had to battle back there a couple times in lapped traffic but I did what I needed to do to stay up front“.

“I really have to thank my guys for their hard work and Wayne Quackenbush from Capitol Renegade Custom Coaches and Trailers.  We finally won one with him at the track.  Of course a big thanks to Coors Banquet and Henry’s Wrecker Service too.  They have all been very good to me and I could not do this without their support.“, Reinhardt commented.

“I also want to thank my brother, David.  He puts a lot of effort in.“

Coors Banquet beer was first brewed 150 years ago.  It was the original product brewed by Adolph Coors in Colorado when he first established his brewery in 1873.

Over those 150 years, Coors has not compromised their craft.  Since day one Coors Banquet has been brewed only in Golden, Colorado, with Rocky Mountain spring water and Moravian barley.

The company will celebrate their sesquicentennial on September 30th, 2023 with a huge street festival in the town where it all began – Golden, Colorado.  This memorable event will feature a lineup of live musical performances, local artisans, brewery tours, limited-edition merch, and great food and beer.

Reinhardt was part of a stout field of 41 cars that entered the Gettysburg Clash Wednesday night at Lincoln Speedway (PA).  His qualifying lap was good for 12th quick in Flight 1, a tick slower than he needed to start within a top five transfer spot in his heat race.

Reinhardt’s time, just 0.025 seconds off a top ten qualifying run, was good enough to start 6th in his heat, certainly within striking distance of an A-main transfer.

At the drop of the green, Reinhardt charged into the 4th spot, then just as he had positioned himself to claim 3rd, a yellow flag appeared and negated the entire start.  The caution changed the course of Reinhardt’s night.

The full restart didn’t go nearly as well for the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Henry’s Wrecker No.91.  Reinhardt did hold down the 5th and final transfer spot until the midpoint of the qualifying race but ultimately lost the spot and finished 6th.

Reinhardt had one more shot to transfer to the main event.  He started 5th in the 12-lap B-main and needed to secure a top four finish to move on.  The race did not unfold as hoped for Reinhardt.  He lost two spots on the opening lap, then lost two more late in the race, putting him 9th in the final rundown and bringing an end to his night.

Reinhardt put together a solid night from beginning to end at Williams Grove Speedway Friday night.  He kicked off the night by qualifying 7th quickest overall, then proceeded to back it up with a convincing heat race run, powering by Dylan Cisney for the win.

The Neptune City, NJ native took the green for the 30-lap Tommy Hinnershitz Classic from inside the second row.  Reinhardt was in the thick of the battle throughout the event, holding down the 3rd and 4th positions over the course of the race.  

A late restart led Reinhardt into a heated battle with Danny Dietrich for the 3rd spot.  After trading numerous sliders and cross-overs with Dietrich, he had to check up entering turn three when the pair went for the same piece of real estate at the same time.  It was just enough for Lance Dewease to slip by and relegate Reinhardt to a 5th place finish.

“That was another solid run for us and we did it against tougher competition.  We need to keep building on that.“, Reinhardt said.  

Saturday’s planned event at Port Royal Speedway was cancelled due to heavy rains, giving the team a rare Saturday off.  The $10,000 to win Spring Thaw at ‘The Speed Palace’ has been rescheduled to Saturday, April 29th.
