A Personal Note About #TeamA2D

Harrisburg, PA – November 24, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

2021 was a year of firsts.  A year full of reasons to be thankful.

 

I want to say right up front, this article will have a slightly different perspective than you are used to reading here.  This is a personal note of reflection and expression of appreciation.  I’ll try to be brief.

 

When I started Addicted2Dirt PR just before the 2020 season, my goal was simply to try to contribute to the sport I have been passionate about for many years.  Austin Berry and ABR allowed me to take my vision and make it something real.  Just a few months later, Zach Newlin and Newlin Racing believed enough in what I was doing to bring me into their fold to promote their efforts.  As the 2021 season opened, Kyle Reinhardt and RQM Enterprises took the same step of faith.

 

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my wife and the full support she has given me and this vision from the beginning.  I really should be saying ‘we’ anytime I mention A2D.  She has helped me shape every aspect of what we are trying to do together for the sport.  

 

We now have two seasons under our belt, hopefully making a difference along the way.  These three teams have given us that opportunity and we could not be more appreciative and thankful.  

 

We have been blessed to be a small part of some wonderful moments:

  • Austin’s first super late model win this season
  • Zach’s first 358 sprint checkered flag in 2020
  • Zach’s first Outlaw A-main in 2021
  • Kyle’s first All-Star victory this year

 

Here’s to 2022.  May we all experience continued success and growth in the year ahead.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Kyle Reinhardt Closes Out 2021 with Top 10 in Sprint Showdown

Solid Night, Solid Season, Solid Future

Millerstown, PA – November 19, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

featured photo credit:  SprintCarNews.com / Rick Rarer

 )

Kyle Reinhardt and the Capitol Renegade team have already been thinking about the 2022 season for several weeks, if not longer.  There is much to plan and coordinate to prepare for a season that is comprised of over 70 races spanning 9 months as theirs did in 2021.  Before they could fully turn their attention to that task, there was one more race to run.  The traditional final 410 race in the country:  The Capitol Renegade Sprint Showdown at BAPS Motor Speedway.

 

11/13:  Sprint Showdown, BAPS Motor Speedway – Newberrytown, PA 

     (38 cars, Qualifying: 2nd in Group 2 & 3rd overall, Heat: 2nd, A-main: 7th)

 

The November weather in Central Pennsylvania is notoriously unpredictable to say the least.  Some years fans are able to show up to the season finale in t-shirts, other years winter coats are the apparel of choice.

 

2021 brought its own memorable combination of elements.  Rain and wind moved in during the late morning, making for a chilly autumn day.  It didn’t matter though.  This was the final race of the season, so when the weather passed, and the sun popped out briefly in the

midafternoon, the race teams, and loyal Posse race fans poured into the facility, equipped
with the aforementioned winter coats.

 

The Capitol Renegade, Champion Hi-Tech Lubricants, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 was one of 38 cars signed in for action Saturday afternoon. 

 

Format

The annual season-ending event employs a somewhat unique format that uses a pill draw to divide the field into groups of 8-10 cars each.  Teams remain in their groups for hot laps, time trials and heat races.  To allow for spacing during time trials, half of each group takes to the track at a time for three green flag laps under the clock.  Heat races would be 10 laps, lined up by time but with the top 4 inverted, and the top five finishers transferring directly to the A-main.  The winner and the fastest qualifier go to the redraw.

 

Qualifying Recap

Reinhardt’s pill draw landed him in the first half of a very stout qualifying group number two.  The Neptune City, NJ native was up to the task though as he attacked the 4-tenths mile oval, turning in a lap of 14.736.  It turned out to be 2nd best in his group and 3rd best in the entire field.

 

The inversion meant Reinhardt would take the green in his heat race from the 3rd starting spot.  On the initial start, Logan Schuchart claimed the lead and Freddie Rahmer kept Reinhardt at bay in 3rd.  In the midst of lap two, Tyler Ross got upside down, bringing out the red.  On the ensuing restart, Reinhardt charged hard and wrestled 2nd away from Rahmer.  He then set his sights on Schuchart and the lead but couldn’t get close enough to challenge and settled for the runner up finish.

 

Main Event Recap

Reinhardt’s qualifying efforts garnered him the 10th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main.  The Capitol Renegade, J&J Auto Racing mount was competitive from the start.  Reinhardt quickly found his rhythm and began moving forward.  He was able to claim 9th early on, then 8th by lap ten.

 

Despite being tested by a couple restarts, which are double-file by rule at BAPS Motor Speedway, Kyle managed to hold his ground.  By lap 21 Reinhardt had claimed 7th from Jacob Allen.  Allen, a World of Outlaws regular, didn’t give up easily though and the pair exchanged  sliders for several laps until Reinhardt finally claimed the spot for good.  From that point on, there were no cautions to bunch the field and Reinhardt wasn’t close enough to take a shot at Anthony Macri for 6th.

 

We had good speed all night and we raced well.  We were better than we had been in recent outings, so that’s a good way to finish the season.  We’ve been getting back to basics and giving the car what it needs.  It’s been responding well, so my confidence is up too as a result“, Reinhardt shared.

 

“Looking back on 2021 now that we are done, it wasn’t a bad year for us.  It was tough going on the road for the first time.  We kept plugging away though and we learned a lot as a result of traveling and seeing a lot of new places for the first time”, Kyle reflected.  

 

We got our first All Star win and our first quick time.  We had some good nights, but we also had some tough ones.  I feel like we left a lot on the table“, Reinhardt concluded.

  

Up Next

Reinhardt and the Capitol Renegade team plan to hit the road with the All Star Circuit of Champions again in 2022, so the offseason will be short and very busy.  Preparing a shop, a hauler, and multiple cars for the grind of a long season requires a lot of planning and coordination.  Often teams work as hard or harder from November to February as they do during the season.

 

We are still looking to fill the crew chief role on the team, so hopefully we can do that soon.  I’m looking forward to 2022.  We know we can take what we learned this year and improve.  We already have goals.  Obviously, we want to be more consistent, but we also believe we can win multiple races and put ourselves in the top 5 in All Star points“, Reinhardt said.

Zach Newlin Displays 2022 Potential at BAPS Motor Speedway

Clocks Near Top of the Charts; Learning Continues

Millerstown, PA – November 15, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

featured photo credit:  SprintCarNews.com / Rick Rarer

 )

Zach Newlin and Pryde Motorsports raced together seven times since the new pairing formed at the start of September.  They made a couple headlines in that short time.  There was a Hard Charger award at Port Royal Speedway in the Labor Day Classic and there was Newlin’s first World of Outlaws A-main a few weeks later.  To learn all they could for 2022, they were trying to make good use of their short 2021 season together.  They certainly weren’t going to pass up the opportunity to race one more time before spending the winter in the race shop.

 

11/13:  Sprint Showdown, BAPS Motor Speedway – Newberrytown, PA

     (38 cars, Qualifying 2nd in group 2 & 4th overall, Heat 5th, A-main 20th)

 

Each November, the Sprint Showdown at BAPS Motor Speedway, which is traditionally the final 410 sprint car show in the country, brings unpredictable weather.  The 2021 edition was no different.  Rain and wind moved in during the late morning to combine with chilly autumn temperatures.

 

Long story short, it didn’t matter.  This was Central Pennsylvania, and it was the final race of the season, so when the weather passed and the sun popped out briefly in the midafternoon, the race teams and fans poured into the facility, equipped with multiple layers of warm clothing.

 

The Pryde Motorsports No.29, sponsored by Del Grosso’s Foods, Gio’s BBQ, Robert Lee Jr. Trucking, R&B Auto Proz, Quality Masonry, Grove Financial & Associates, Dillman Hauling, Ron’s RV Sales, and Strange Oval was one of 38 cars signed in to compete.  

 

Format

The annual season-ending event employs a somewhat unique format that uses a pill draw to divide the field into groups of 8-10 cars each.  Teams remain in their groups for hot laps, time trials and heat races.  To allow for spacing during time trials, half of each group takes to the track at a time for three green flag laps under the clock.  Heat races would be 10 laps, lined up by time but with the top 4 inverted, and the top five finishers transferring directly to the A-main.  The winner and the fastest qualifier go to the redraw.

 

Qualifying Recap

Zach Newlin’s draw placed him in the second half of the 4th and final qualifying group.  Considering how a track typically slows down during qualifying because of deteriorating grip, a late draw such as that isn’t ideal.

 

None of that seemed to matter to the wheelman known as ‘Zach Daddy’.  He proceeded to blister the 4-tenths mile clay oval in 14.773 seconds, which was good enough for 2nd in his group and 4th quickest out of the entire field of 38 cars. 

 

Newlin’s heat race didn’t go as well as planned.  He hoped to leverage his 3rd starting spot to earn a mid-pack starting spot in the feature, however a tight condition led to the loss of a couple spot.  The Millerstown, PA native held on to transfer to the A-main but would start 20th in the 30-lap finale.

 

Main Event Recap

Knowing they would be racing in heavy traffic from the start, the Pryde Motorsports team made adjustments that would hopefully give Newlin a chance to move forward.  It didn’t take more than a few laps to figure out they had over-adjusted.  Zach fought a tight race car throughout the event and ultimately managed to do no more than hold his ground for a 20th place finish.

 

We had really good speed earlier in the night and the car was handling great” Newlin shared.  “We just got too tight with the adjustments we made after that, so we learned something for next time.  I want to thank Allen (Pryde) for giving me this opportunity and all the partners who help make this possible for us.  We couldn’t do this without Del Grosso Foods, Grove Financial & Associates, Dillman Hauling, Gio’s BBQ, Ron’s RV Sales, FK Shocks, Strange Oval Torsion Bars, and Newlin Bar Service“, Newlin commented.   

 

We had a fast car last night.  Just wasn’t able to capitalize.  Next time.  This is how you learn.  Little by little“, said car owner Allen Pryde Sunday, reflecting on the team’s night at BAPS.

 

Up Next

Pryde Motorsports, along with brothers Zach and Lance Newlin, are already getting things in place for the 2022 season.   Saturday’s outing at BAPS Motor Speedway was a shake-down of a new Triple-X car, plus another car and its components are being refreshed.  The team expects to enter next season well-prepared to run Royal Speedway on a weekly basis.

Newlin’s Season Still Plagued by Gremlins

2021 Has Been a Year to Forget

Millerstown, PA – Aug 2, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

Whatever joke the universe is playing on Zach Newlin’s 2021 season, the gig is up.  You can stop now.  It’s not funny.  

 

Newlin has had a lot of success in his 20-plus year racing career.  2021 may be the most challenging he has ever been through.

 

This cartoon sums up Zach Newlin's 2021 season.
This cartoon sums up Zach Newlin's 2021 season.

After losing their second motor in as many outings at Williams Grove Speedway back on July 16th, Zach Newlin and the Mansberger Motorsports team were back at the legendary Central Pennsylvania oval on July 30th with an emergency reserve bullet under the hood.  

 

The rest of Friday night’s story is unfortunately short.  During hot laps, Newlin experienced a severe vibration in the 21m.  The vibration was significant enough they would not be able to compete safely.  The team went to work trying to diagnose the problem, but had little success.  They missed their heat race as they continued to pursue the root cause.  Since a car must take the green flag in the A-main to collect any prize money, Newlin and Mansberger made the decision to take the green from their 19th starting position, then pull in immediately as a safety precaution. 

 

With no 358 sprint car racing at Williams Grove Speedway scheduled in August, Newlin and the Mansberger Motorsports team will sit out until the division returns on September 3rd.  They will use the time to regroup, reset their motor program, and go over their equipment thoroughly to resolve the vibration issue.

 

There are a few races remaining and this team wants nothing more than to finish strong.  They know their podium finish and top-10 early in the year were no fluke.  Entering the off-season with positive vibes and starting to build momentum for 2022 are essential right now.

Deja Vu for Newlin and Mansberger Motorsports

Can’t Shake the Monkey Off Their Back

Millerstown, PA – July 18, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

A flat tire, Mother Nature, and an engine failure.  Those are the answers to a riddle nobody’s laughing at.

 

The question was, “What three things have made Zach Newlin 0-3 at Williams Grove Speedway since he scored a podium finish there on April 23rd?”.  Every racer goes through stretches like that.  The good news is, they can’t last forever.  Right?

 

Friday night, July 16th, Newlin and the Mansberger Motorsports team were among 22 HJ Towing and Recovery 358 sprint cars entered to compete in the Summer Series event at Williams Grove Speedway.  The team came ready with a new bullet under the hood, determined to return to running at the front of the field as they had done earlier in the season.

 

Three 8-lap heats were lined up using a random pill draw, which put Newlin in the 6th starting spot in the third heat.  All cars would qualify for the feature event, with the top four going to the redraw for the top twelve starting spots.

 

Newlin was good from the drop of the green in his heat race, quickly surging forward into a redraw spot, then methodically navigating his way toward the front.  Coming off turn four to take the white flag, just as Zach Daddy made his move into 2nd place, the monkey on the back of Newlin and the 21m team woke up again.  The motor suddenly let go in a big puff of smoke and the fluids poured out all over the Williams Grove clay as the car rolled to a stop at the turn one end of the front stretch.

 

0-4.

 

The 358 sprint cars will be back at “The Grove” on July 30th.  Newlin and Mansberger hope to be among them, but that will depend on how their motor situation unfolds in the coming week.

 

One thing is certain.  When they can eventually ditch that monkey, everyone is going to have to contend with the Newlin/Mansberger combination.

Zach Newlin and Burke Motorsports Part Ways

Millerstown, PA – July 1, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

Zach Newlin and the Burke Motorsports 410 sprint car team have decided to part ways effective this week.  Sometimes teams stay together for years, but more often, changes are needed to get the right combination for success.  This is just one of those cases.

 

The pairing had been competing on a part time basis in Central Pennsylvania since they joined forces in late August 2020.  They entered 14 events together, with the majority being against touring series competition.  Although both had raced with success for many years at other levels, the opportunity was the first venture into 410 sprint cars for both Newlin and Burke Motorsports.    

 

In the seat time he had, Newlin showed signs of his ability to adapt to the powerful machines, such as garnering the Hard Charger Award at Port Royal Speedway’s Labor Day Classic and making veteran-like moves at Williams Grove Speedway that caught the attention of Johnny Gibson, the long-time voice of the World of Outlaws, during a broadcast.

 

Newlin, who captured a win at Williams Grove last year in his first 358 sprint car season and also has quite a resume of accomplishments in 305 sprint cars in the past decade, will continue to pursue a 410 sprint car opportunity, but for now will focus his efforts on 358 sprint car competition with Mansberger Motorsports.

 

I’m eager to get back in a 410 and show what I can do.  I learned a lot in my first opportunity and I know I can get the job done“, Newlin shared.

Newlin’s Night Cut Short at The Grove

Engine Failure Thwarts Promising Night

Millerstown, PA – June 30, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

Sometimes things don’t go your way and there’s nothing you can do about it.  Zach Newlin certainly can testify to that lately.  His last opportunity at Williams Grove Speedway was taken away by Mother Nature and the chance before that ended prematurely with a flat tire after starting inside the top 10.  When he returned to the legendary oval last week, he was just looking to have some fun and log a top five finish like he knew the team was capable of.  

 

Twenty HJ Towing and Recovery 358 sprint cars signed in to compete at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, June 26th.  Two 8-lap heats were lined up using a handicapping system based on the season point standings, which put Newlin in the 6th starting spot in the first heat.  

 

The wheelman from Millerstown, PA realized quickly at the drop of the green that he had a good car under him.  He was able to move forward right out of the gate, and the car was balanced and comfortable.  Halfway through the race, as he moved into 3rd, the engine blew and abruptly brought an end to Newlin’s night.

 

The feature lineup was to be ‘heads-up’ based on the heat finishes, therefore until the failure, Newlin was likely in line for a 6th starting spot and a solid shot at the top five finish he wanted out of the night, but once again something beyond his control intervened.  

 

In July, Zach Daddy and the Mansberger Motorsports team will compete in two 358 sprint car events at Williams Grove Speedway.  You can bet they will be determined to not let that monkey get too comfortable on their back.  The pair of Summer Series points races are scheduled for July 16th and July 30th.

Zach Newlin Focusing on Seat Time

Working Hard to Establish a Rhythm Among Opportunities

This Friday night, June 25th, Zach Newlin will climb aboard the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 Sprint Car at Williams Grove Speedway.  Newlin is anxious to get back to the legendary oval.  Due to a rainout earlier this month, it has been one month since his last opportunity to chase a checkered flag at ‘The Grove’.

 

After a rainout Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway that prevented Newlin from strapping into the Burke Motorsports 410 sprint car, Newlin Racing decided to break out their familiar 11z for the first time this season on Sunday.  The goal was simple:  seat time for Zach Daddy.  With their trusty 358 engine under the hood, they made the tow to Path Valley Speedway to enter the first 410 sprint car race held at the track in several years.  The bullring levels the playing field a bit and is suitable for smaller engines to compete against the bigger engines.  “The night didn’t go as well as hoped, but it was good to get the family team back together for a night.  We need to get that motor refreshed before we can think about running anywhere else really“, Newlin explained.  

 

Looking ahead to July, Williams Grove Speedway has the 358 sprint cars on the schedule twice.  Scheduled for July 16th and July 30th, the events are Summer Series points races for the division.  The Newlin/Mansberger duo plans to compete in both races and attempt to move into the top 5 in the season point standings.  Newlin currently sits 7th after 3 races.

Newlin Headed Back to Williams Grove Friday for 358 Summer Series

Efforts Continue to Stabilize New 410 Chassis

With no 358 sprint car racing on his schedule over the past weekend, there was only one race on the docket for Zach Newlin.  He strapped into the Burke Motorsports/Grove Financial & Associates/Dillman Hauling, LLC. 410 sprint car at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night.  

 

The night looked to be off to a promising start when Newlin registered the 5th quickest lap among the field of 19 cars during hot laps.  Given the challenges the team has faced as they figure out what their new Maxim wants, it was an encouraging sign.  Unfortunately, the optimism didn’t last.


An unlucky pill draw had Newlin starting in the back of the 2nd heat and he was unable to move forward in his 10-lap qualifying event.  Despite everyone’s best efforts, things didn’t improve for the feature.  After a handful of laps, the team made the decision to bring the No.54 in and save their resources for another night.  It’s been a tough start to the 410 season for this group.  All teams encounter struggles like this at some point and they will find their way through it.  

 

Next up, Newlin will climb aboard the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m again on June 11th for a 358 Sprint Car Summer Series race at Williams Grove Speedway, where he sits 7th in the season points.  That will be followed (tentatively) by another outing at Port Royal Speedway in the Burke Motorsports No.54 on June 12th.  Follow the social media outlets listed below for news and updates!
