Reinhardt Stepping Out of the Seat, Set To Serve as Crew Chief and Mentor in 2025

Kyle Reinhardt has made the decision to step out of the seat as a full-time racer.

Life, work, and racing have continued to evolve in recent years for the Neptune City, NJ native who moved to Pennsylvania to go full-time racing in 2019, leading him to a crossroads.

THE DECISION

 “I feel good about the decision I have made and the direction I am heading moving forward.”, Reinhardt said.  

“I checked off a lot of boxes.  I achieved my goals of racing professionally, hitting the road with a series, and winning All-Star races all by working hard for it.  I didn’t come from money and I didn’t have the benefit of a fully-funded operation, so I’m proud of accomplishing all that and more.” 

There are a number of factors that led Reinhardt to this decision but the bottom line is if he can’t do it at 100%, he’s not going to do it.  

“I can’t give 100% to both my job at Capitol (Custom Trailers and Coaches) and to my race team at the same time and race at the level I want to race at.  It’s too much effort to not be racing with a 100% focus on driving, so I don’t feel it’s fair to the people that support me.”, Reinhardt commented.

Reinhardt also isn’t interested in racing less to make it all work.  To be sharp and competitive at the level he expects, he believes it’s necessary to race 60-70 times a year.  He also pointed to some of the unseen stresses.

“There’s a lot of stress in finding help at the shop and the track, finding funding, and keeping everything prepared at a top-notch level.”, Reinhardt shared.  

COMMITMENT

Reinhardt isn’t just being cliche about the difference giving 100% to something can make.  He has already demonstrated it in his own career.

In 2019, when he quit his mechanical engineering job in New Jersey to move to Pennsylvania to race, he immediately proved his point.

He won several races in John Westbrook’s No.1w 360 sprint car and captured the Selinsgrove Speedway track championship in the division.

He also recorded his first 410 sprint car win, which came at Port Royal Speedway’s Labor Day Classic.  The following year he won the 410 points title at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Reinhardt went on to collect wins with the All Star Circuit of Champions over the next few seasons and he closed out 2023 with the biggest and most satisfying win of his career.  He captured the checkered flag and $15,000 payday at Bridgeport Speedway’s Oktober fest, but it wasn’t the check that was so satisfying.  It was winning in a 410 sprint car race in his home state in front of his family and friends.

“That night was definitely the most satisfying win I’ve ever had.  There are so few 410 sprint car races in New Jersey, so the odds of winning one are so tough.  I always wanted to win one there and we got it done.”, Reinhardt said.

APPRECIATION

Reinhardt expressed his appreciation for everyone who has supported him to make all of those things possible.

“I want to thank my family who have been there helping make racing possible for me since day one, and of course, thank you to my wife, Kate, for her constant support through all the long hours, time on the road, good days, and bad days.”, Reinhardt said.

“Thank you to my brother, David, for all the hours and effort he has put in.  Capitol Custom Trailers and Wayne Quackenbush made it all possible over the last seven years and I can’t thank them enough.”

“I appreciate every sponsor and individual who helped me get to where I am now.  I couldn’t have gotten here without Henry’s Wrecker Service, Coors Banquet Beer & Ace Distributing, EZGO Golf Carts, Golf Cart Services and all my product sponsors who have stuck with me over the years.”

“I also want to give a special thanks to Scott and Josette McClaren, who gave me my first first opportunity in a sprint car.  Thank you to (the late) Bruce and Margaret Kindberg and John Westbrook for giving me the chance to wheel their cars.  We had a lot of success together.  Also, thanks to (the late) Jeff McCall for taking me on the road.  Last but certainly not least, thanks to Chris Shuttlesworth for all his hard work over the years.” 

THE NEXT CHAPTER

While Reinhardt may be putting his helmet on the shelf, the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers No.91 will continue on.

The Neptune City, NJ native will turn the wrenches on his familiar machine, plus he will serve as a mentor to the new pilot who will take the wheel.

“We already have a deal in place for someone to take the seat for 2025”, Reinhardt said.

“I know I can still get it done behind the wheel but I’m ready to share what I’ve learned to help guide the development of a younger driver and this role will allow me to still be a part of the sport in a way that fits my life right now.”

Kyle Keen Motorsports Tabs Mark Smith as Crew Chief and Mentor for 2025 Season

Carlisle, PA – December 3, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

When the 2023 season opened, Kyle Keen’s plan was to race a mixed schedule of 358 and 410 sprint car races to provide himself with the opportunity to begin gaining experience at the higher level while keeping the team’s budget and resources viable.

It didn’t take long for circumstances to change his plans.  By April he had revised the plan, and dove into the deep end of the pool, going 410 sprint car racing for the remainder of the season, ultimately making 24 starts in the division.

There was no shortage of learning each night he hit the track but on the highly competitive Central Pennsylvania sprint car circuit a long learning curve can be an expensive proposition for a team.

With that in mind, as Keen prepares to enter his sophomore season in the top winged sprint car class, he has made a move to help himself and his team accelerate the learning curve.

ENTER EXPERIENCE

Mark Smith, a long-time successful sprint car driver with roughly 200 career wins to his credit, has joined Kyle Keen Motorsports (KKM) as crew chief for the 2025 season.

In addition to his crew chief duties, Smith will serve as a top-notch mentor for Keen who has only been behind the wheel for a few years, beginning in 305 sprint cars in 2019.  The Carlisle, PA native made the move to 358 sprint cars in 2022, then 410 sprint cars in 2024.

“Mark has a ton of experience behind the wheel, setting up these cars, fabrications, shocks, maintenance and so much more.  He knows every aspect of these cars.  That knowledge will benefit me behind the wheel and the entire team with understanding these cars.”, Keen said.

“Having Mark will allow me to focus on driving and improving myself behind the wheel.  He will make our cars better and he will certainly make me better with his advice on making decisions behind the wheel and my approach to situations I face.”

Smith’s career has spanned many years from his beginnings in go-karts, then Super Sportsman and eventually 360 and 410 sprint cars.  He has competed with nearly every high-profile organization, including the World of Outlaws (WoO), United Sprint Car Series (USCS), All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC), United Racing Club (URC), and more.

Smith hasn’t given up strapping into the cockpit himself.  He will still compete behind the wheel in 2025 but will set his driving schedule around his new role with KKM.

GOOD FIT

“Mark is a great fit personality wise for our team.  We have a relationship that goes back over 20 years to when he drove for my dad with Barry Jackson as crew chief.”, Keen said.

In addition, Keen drove Smith’s Mach 1 Chassis’ when he started in 305 sprint cars.  Smith is the owner of Mach 1 Chassis and frequently competes in 360 and 410 sprint car competition with great success in his own brand.

Keen had a goal of adding experience to the team this offseason for a number of reasons on and off the track.  Along with the aforementioned racing benefits of adding Smith, Keen and his wife are expecting their first child in the coming months, plus his day job keeps him hustling.

Fans can look for Keen and the Fine Line Auto Body, Hess Bid / Hess Auctioneers, Keen Parts / CorvetteParts.net, Shetron Trailers, Heishman Racing Fuels, DL Lehman Construction, Fuel Ox No.17k to campaign regularly at Port Royal Speedway in 2025, as well as the majority of the BAPS Motor Speedway shows.  The team will look to add other events to their schedule as the season unfolds.

Ashley Cappetta Racing Partners with Gettysburg Trading Post for 2025 Season

East Berlin, PA – November 14, 2024

Ashley Cappetta Racing (ACR) is excited to announce that the Gettysburg Trading Post will continue as the team’s main sponsor for the 2025 racing season. This marks the 14th season of partnership between ACR and the Gettysburg Trading Post, a collaboration that began in 2012, during Ashley’s debut racing season.

The Gettysburg Trading Post became ACR’s primary sponsor in 2021, a role that includes exclusive branding on the team’s trailer, car, and Ashley’s racing suit, as well as priority involvement in community events. “Having someone who stands by me through the highs and the lows means a lot,” Cappetta shared. “We’ve had some rough seasons, and it’s really special to have Shawn and the Trading Post there for the journey. I’m not sure I’d be where I am without their support.”

The partnership has been mutually rewarding, with both the Gettysburg Trading Post and ACR experiencing growth over the years. “I’m forever grateful for Shawn’s support,” Cappetta added. “Their sponsorship has grown alongside their business, which has expanded to a larger facility. It’s inspiring to watch them build something so strong.”

12th Annual “A Night at the Races” Fundraising Event Set for February 8

Fans and supporters are invited to the 12th Annual “A Night at the Races” event on February 8, 2025, for a night of fun, fundraising, and racing community connection. This annual event brings together friends, fans, and sponsors to kick off the new season and raise funds to support Ashley’s racing journey.

Reinhardt Continues Late-Season Surge With Top-Ten, Solid World Finals With World of Outlaws

Concord, NC – November 12, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

The home stretch of the 2024 season has been a productive one for Kyle Reinhardt.  He has compiled a list of finishes that include a top-ten with the World of Outlaws at Lincoln Speedway, a runner-up finish in Bridgeport’s Dirty Jersey event, and other podium and top-five efforts on the tough Central Pennsylvania circuit.

To demonstrate the progress he and his team have made, consider this stat.  Reinhardt finished in the top ten in just thirty percent of his first twenty-seven races of the season but has finished in the top ten in forty-one percent of his last seventeen races.  

With that momentum on his side, he headed to North Carolina to compete with the World of Outlaws at their season-ending, four-day World Finals event.

MAINTAINING THE MOJO

Wednesday night at The Dirt Track at Charlotte was qualifying night for Reinhardt and the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 team.  Two rounds of time trials would set the stage for their Thursday and Friday night preliminary programs.  Kyle turned in the 12th quickest and 7th quickest laps respectively for those nights, both in Group B qualifying.

Reinhardt lined up 6th in his Thursday night heat race, needing to make the top five to transfer directly to the night’s main event, but he missed that transfer by one spot.  He needed a run from 6th in the B-main into a top-four finishing position to find his way in, but it didn’t happen.

An 8th-place finish in Thursday’s B-main brought an end to his night.  On the bright side, a lot was learned that would pay dividends the remainder of the week.

Reinhardt kicked off Friday night in a better position, turning a 4th starting spot into a 3rd place heat race finish, locking himself into the A-main.  

In Friday’s 25-lap A-main, the Neptune City, NJ native started moving forward from his 10th starting spot and was running as high as 7th on lap sixteen.  Reinhardt lost a couple of spots during some tight battles in the closing laps but still managed a very solid 10th-place run.

Following Friday’s program, points earned over the first three nights were tallied.  The result was a 5th starting spot in neat number two for Reinhardt.  He held 5th, the final transfer spot, for the first few laps but eventually, Donny Schatz wrestled it away, relegating the No.91 to the B-main for his final shot to make Saturday’s finale.

Reinhardt started outside the front row in the 12-lap B-main and brought home a 3rd-place finish to make the show.  He went on to turn in a 19th-place finish in the final World of Outlaws A-main of the season.

“I’m pretty pleased with our World Finals showing, especially with an Outlaw top ten!”, a happy Reinhard commented.

“I think Thursday we just didn’t make the right decisions to the car with so few laps but we got it better for the rest of the weekend, so it was a solid week for sure.”

UP NEXT

Reinhardt’s final race of 2024 will be this Saturday, November 16th, at BAPS Motor Speedway’s Sprint Showdown.

Kody Hartlaub Endures First Year Grind, Earns Two 410 Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Honors

East Berlin, PA – November 8 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

For Kody Hartlaub, the transition from racing 358 sprint cars to competing in the 410 sprint car division has been a whirlwind of learning, growth, and resilience. Ending his rookie season on a high note, Hartlaub has been recognized for his commendable efforts, securing the Rookie of the Year honors at both Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway in Pennsylvania.

The Littlestown, PA native kicked off the year by running a dozen races in the Ninety-Five Motorsports No.95, a team that is a collaborative effort by Pat Brewer and himself.  In those twelve races, he scored eight top-fifteen finishes, including one top-ten.  Very respectable stats for a rookie on the tough Central Pennsylvania circuit. In fact, they were good enough to draw the attention of the Trone Outdoor team, who contacted him about wheeling their well-known No.39.

Hartlaub moved to the Trone Outdoor Motorsports seat at the end of May and things started promisingly for the new combination, marked by a strong chemistry and a culture of collaboration. In their first 17 races together, the team achieved ten top-ten finishes, boasting an average finish of 10.5. However, the journey was not without its challenges. In the latter part of the season, they faced setbacks with only three top-ten finishes out of the last 24 races, averaging a 15.3 finish. Hartlaub, despite these hurdles, managed to finish 13th in the point standings at Williams Grove Speedway and 10th at Lincoln Speedway.

“I wouldn’t have been able to do what I did with my own team or make the move to John’s (Trone) team without the support of my partners who have supported me from the start.   A huge thank you to Brewer Home Improvements, J Fuels, MooseBlocks.com, Bigham Appraisal, Griffith Plumbing Services, and T & N Solutions, plus many others who have backed us.  And of course, I can’t forget Trone Outdoor.”, Hartlaub said.

Reflecting on the season, Hartlaub revealed, “The plan for the whole year was to learn. During the second half, we struggled with motor issues and couldn’t find a balance, but every race has been a lesson.” His initial goal was to achieve a win, which he came close to early in the season, leading 24 laps one night at Lincoln. Despite not clinching a victory, Hartlaub views the experience as part of his learning curve.

The competition transition from 358s to 410s presented significant challenges. The competition in the 410 division is so tight, that every minor detail matters.  Every detail can become an advantage if you’re paying attention, or a disadvantage if you aren’t. 

Hartlaub admitted that the second half of the season was particularly demanding, but the team stayed resilient, maintaining open communication even when performance dipped. 

During the second half, we were plagued with some mechanical issues and found it tough to find a repetitive balance.  Despite the struggles, the team never gave up. We all pointed out areas for improvement, both individually and collectively,” he shared.

Mentally, the season tested Hartlaub’s resolve. He admitted to moments when the pressure mounted, particularly towards the end of the season, but stayed steadfast in his commitment to learning. His confidence took a hit towards the end, but he stands firm knowing that having a full season under his belt prepares him better for 2025. 

With the experience of a full season behind him, Hartlaub is optimistic about his prospects for next season.  A pivotal element in Hartlaub’s development was the steadfast support from his team and the strong relationships he cultivated within the racing community.

“Understanding what to expect makes a world of difference. Being 100% focused throughout every race night, with attention to every detail, are lessons I will carry forward,” he emphasized.

Balancing a demanding racing schedule, family commitments, and a day job, Hartlaub has been supported by a dedicated team and an understanding family. Hartlaub competed in 53 races this year, more than double his previous track time, and he attributes his ability to juggle the demands to the team’s disciplined schedule.

“We had dedicated shop nights to work on our equipment and talk about things, plus we planned ahead for what nights we were going to race.  That helped me keep my family life and work life in a good place, which kept my head clear and allowed me to focus when I was in the car.”, Hartlaub shared.

Hartlaub says he is motivated by the desire to prove his capabilities at this level of the sport.  His rookie season in the 410 sprint car division has set a strong foundation toward that goal.

“I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish with my own team what we did together with the Trone Outdoor team.  I’d like to thank John Trone, Kevin Frey, and the rest of the Trone outdoor team for this year, along with my own guys:  my dad, mom, Pat Brewer, Justin Reese, Austin Funk, my family, and my wife. “, Hartlaub said.

Looking forward, Hartlaub is eager to incorporate the lessons from his rookie season into his sophomore campaign. With a realistic understanding of the demands of the 410 series, he aims to sharpen his skills. 

“The experiences and challenges we’ve navigated this year have prepared me pretty well. I’m determined to enter next season more prepared, focused, and confident,” Hartlaub asserts, ready to take on his second full-time season in 2025.

Kyle Reinhardt Scores Runner Up Finish in Dirty Jersey Finale

Kyle Reinhardt made the tow from his race shop in the heart of Pennsylvania Posse territory to his home state of New Jersey Saturday, aiming to get back to victory lane in front of a lot of family and friends.  

He closed out Bridgeport Motorsports Park’s 2023 season with a $15,000 victory and he was looking for a repeat performance.  He was certainly one of the favorites.  His stats over the past couple of seasons at the four-tenths mile, high-banked oval proved that.

SO GOOD, SO CLOSE

The Dirty Jersey weekend kicked off with two qualifying sessions on Friday night, rewarding the fast qualifier in each session with a guaranteed starting spot no worse than 8th in Saturday’s finale.

Reinhardt clocked in 3rd quickest in the first session and then went to the top of the speed chart in the second session to claim one of the locked-in spots for his Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 team.

Saturday’s show provided Reinhardt with a chance to improve on his worst-case 8th starting spot and he took full advantage.  Drivers earned points through qualifying and passing points in heat races.  After that, the top twenty would go to the A-main lineup and the top six would go to a dash to sort out the first three rows.

Reinhardt was fast once again in qualifying, posting the 3rd quickest trip around the Swedesboro, NJ oval.  In his heat race, he drove from 6th to 4th, good enough to rank him 5th in the overall point standings at the conclusion of all qualifying events.

Reinhardt drew the number three pill for the dash lineup and posted a 3rd place finish in the 6-lap dash, earning the inside row two starting spot for the 30-lap finale.

The initial start of the feature saw contact between the two front-row cars which resulted in a caution for outside starter Ryan Smith.  The caution quickly became a red flag for a melee in turn two.  The ensuing restart put Reinhardt on the outside front row.

The Neptune City, NJ native settled into 2nd for the opening laps before another restart gave him a good shot at leader Justin Whittall.  Reinhardt cleared Whittall on the high side off of turn two and had the advantage into turn three.  However, Whittall drove in hard under him and reclaimed the top spot off of turn four.

Reinhardt got close one more time but it wasn’t enough to wrestle the spot away.  He held on the rest of the way, fending off challenges by Daison Pursley and Danny Dietrich, to claim the runner-up finish.

I don’t have an answer for why we are so good here but we are definitely one of the cars to beat when we unload here.   It’s great to run well at home with so many friends and family in the stands.”, Reinhardt commented.

“I got in front of Justin (Whittall) once but he was pretty strong and got back by me.  When we got into traffic I thought I would get another shot at him but the lapped cars followed him up the track and that affected my air.  They were running their race too, so it’s just part of it.”

“He (Justin) was so good in clean air and I blistered my tires trying to get to him.  At that point, I was just protecting to make sure I held on to second.  I knew I had to stick to the top and keep up my momentum.  If something happens to the leader, you want to be in position to take advantage of it.”

Reinhardt hasn’t found victory lane this year yet after a three-win season in 2023.

“We had a really good year last year but we struggled at the beginning of this year.  I took us a while to adjust and find our speed after some of the changes to the tires, wickerbill, etc.  We’ve turned it around and put a lot of good runs together since mid-August though.  I wish we had a win but I’m happy with how strong we have been the last two months.”, Reinhardt shared.

“We will head to Charlotte and see what we can do at the World Finals, then we will come back home and wrap up our season at BAPS Motor Speedway.”

UP NEXT

Reinhardt will head south this week to compete on four consecutive nights in the World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, NC with the World of Outlaws.  The event will be held November 6th-9th.

His final race of 2024 will be November 16th at BAPS Motor Speedway’s Sprint Showdown.

Reinhardt Set for Return to Home State for Dirty Jersey 410 Finale at Bridgeport Motorsports Park

Abbottstown, PA – October 30, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Kyle Reinhardt and his Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 team have been building momentum over the past couple months and compiling solid stats along the way.

The last couple race nights haven’t yielded results that reflect that but that’s how racing is.  Now Reinhardt has turned his attention to the coming weekend’s trip back to his home state of New Jersey for a two-day event at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, a high speed facility where the Neptune City native has posted impressive stats over the past couple years, including a victory almost exactly one year ago this week.

QUICK RESULTS

  • Date:  October 19, 2024
  • Event:  Championship Night
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Location:  Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA   
  • Stats:  33 cars, Group A Qualifying 8th, Heat 4th (3), A-main 17th (15)

 

  • Date:  October 26, 2024
  • Event:  Britton Finkenbinder Memorial
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Location:  BAPS Motor Speedway, York Haven, PA   
  • Stats:  38 cars, Group 2 Qualifying 2nd, Heat 4th (3), A-main 21st (3)

ON A MISSION

After posting four top-ten finishes in a five-race stretch at Lincoln Speedway, Reinhardt didn’t get the result he was looking for in the track’s season finale on October 19th.  A respectable qualifying run and heat race effort put him mid pack for the main event but he wasn’t able to make forward progress and settled for a 17th place finish.

A week later at BAPS Motor Speedway, Reinhardt again showed the good speed the team has had in recent months, posting the 2nd quickest lap in his group, transferring through his heat, and earning the 3rd starting spot for the 30-lap Finkenbinder Memorial.  Unfortunately, while passing in a top five spot, he got into the marbles and caught the fence, bringing an early end to what would have otherwise been another solid outing.

This weekend Reinhardt will have a great opportunity to hit reset at a track that has been to his liking since the 4-tenths mile, high banked configuration opened a few years ago in Swedesboro, NJ.

Reinhardt’s 2023 stats at Bridgeport Motorsports Park were as solid as they come.  Three races, three top five finishes, including a $15,000 victory in the Oktoberfest event.  The other outings were a 2nd with the All Star Circuit of Champions and a 5th with High Limit Racing.

“I’m really looking forward to going back home to race.”, Reinhardt commented.

We have been really consistent there (at Bridgeport) on the new configuration and I love racing there.  The place is so badass fast.  I got my first 410 win in my home state there last year, which was great with so many family and friends there.”

“We’ve had really good speed lately, so I think we can put on a good show this weekend.”

Because of a rainout earlier this year, this weekend’s event will be Reinhardt’s first opportunity to compete at Bridgeport this year.

“We’re due for a Coors victory lane beer shower.”, Reinhardt said.

UP NEXT

After this weekend’s two-day event at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, which will be available via live stream at DirtTrackDigest.tv for those who cannot make it, Reinhardt will quickly turn things around and head south to compete at the World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, NC with the World of Outlaws.  That event takes place over four days, November 6th-9th.

Ashley Cappetta Reflects on End of 2024 Racing Season and Looks Ahead to 2025

Abbottstown, PA – October 24, 2024

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

After a rollercoaster week both on and off the track, Ashley Cappetta is taking the lessons learned and looking forward to what’s ahead for the 2025 season. Cappetta, closed out her 2024 racing season at Lincoln Speedway and participated in a Test and Tune session at BAPS Motor Speedway, last week.

“I felt really good in the feature,” Cappetta shared after Saturday night at Lincoln. “I just wish I had felt that good in the heat race.” Unfortunately, Cappetta misjudged the track in her heat race, struggling with too much stagger, which left her feeling “like a fish out of water.” Despite falling back to sixth in her heat, she found confidence later in the night.

During the B-main, Cappetta’s car felt significantly better, and she was able to move forward through the field. After making the feature through the B-main, Cappetta lined up 22nd for the feature, “It was a huge confidence booster to start in the back and pass cars. I probably had a top 10 car,” she reflected, grateful for the adjustments that helped improve her performance and finish 12th. After the races, Cappetta was especially appreciative of the fans who stopped by and supported her by purchasing merchandise.

Cappetta’s week also included a test session at BAPS Motor Speedway on Wednesday, where her team encountered engine trouble. “We hurt a motor during the first session at BAPS,” she explained. “The first six laps felt really good, but I’m thankful the issue showed up there and not at Lincoln—it could have ended our season in a bad way.”

ff the track, Cappetta is keeping busy with her participation in the Hanover Halloween Parade alongside Mike’s Towing and Recovery. She will also be at Lincoln Speedway’s Fall Fest on Saturday, October 26 greeting fans, signing autographs, and handing out candy and giveaways for kids from 2-6 PM. Merchandise will also be available for purchase.

As the season winds down, Cappetta is already sitting down to plan for 2025 while finishing up auctioneering scoring. She is also looking forward to hosting the 13th annual “Night at the Races” fundraiser on February 8 at the Irishtown Fire Company.

Reflecting on her 2024 season, Cappetta shared, “I learned a lot this year. I’m grateful for the off-season to regroup, focus on my business, school, and family, and come back stronger next year.”

Reinhardt Strong All Night at Outlaw Keystone Showdown, Posts Top-Ten Finish

Abbottstown, PA – October 15, 2024

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway against the World of Outlaws, Kyle Reinhardt showcased his team’s recent speed.

The Keystone Showdown served as the stage for Reinhardt in his familiar Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.  The team has found consistent speed the last few months and it showed against some of the toughest competition in sprint car racing.

BACK ON TRACK

The month of October opened with one of the most anticipated weekends of the year, the National Open at Williams Grove Speedway on October 4th and 5th.  After showing good speed at the legendary oval in recent outings, Reinhardt came into the weekend feeling good about his chances to make the shows and post good finishes.  The weekend didn’t unfold as hoped though, and both shows ended in the B-main, short of the goal.

Reinhardt and team didn’t dwell on the National Open results.  They got back to work and turned their focus toward their next opportunity, which would come one week later at Lincoln Speedway, another track where he has displayed good speed recently.  In his last two outings at the Pigeon Hills oval, he posted finishes of 4th and 6th to add to two other top-ten finishes there earlier in the season.

The night got off to a positive start when Reinhardt turned in the 3rd quickest lap in Group B qualifying, a 13.964-second effort on his first of two laps.  

The qualifying effort put the Neptune City, NJ native on the front row of the third heat race of the night.  Reinhardt brought home a runner-up finish behind winner Chase Dietz.  The qualifying run put him into the Dash.

Reinhardt drew the third starting spot for the 8-lap dash.  The finishing order would establish the front four rows of the main event lineup.  At the drop of the green, he grabbed the 2nd spot behind leader Sheldon Haudenchild.  He held that position until lap five and ultimately finished 4th to claim the outside row two starting spot for the A-main.

In the 35-lap finale, the opening laps shuffled Reinhardt back to 6th, and by lap ten he had dropped to 9th.  During the middle third of the race, he briefly found himself outside of the top ten looking in but he battled his way back to 9th as the race entered the final ten circuits.

David Gravel wrestled the 9th spot away from Reinhardt with five laps remaining, relegating him to a hard-fought 10th-place finish.

“It was a great night for us.  Disappointed with our feature effort.  We slipped pretty bad at the drop of the green but overall it was a great night making the dash and finishing top-ten at an Outlaw event.”, Reinhardt commented.  

“We have been solid the last few months.  We have about eight dates remaining on our 2024 schedule and we are working hard to put ourselves in position to win races.” 

UP NEXT

Reinhardt will return to Lincoln Speedway Saturday night for the track’s season finale, Night of Champions, which will award the winner with a $15,000 payday at the conclusion of a 50-lap finale.

Prior to the night’s racing action, Reinhardt will make an appearance at Stan’s Beverage in Carlisle, PA from 12-4pm.  Fans are encouraged to stop by to meet Kyle and get an up close look at his No.91 sprint car, plus pick up some ice cold Coors Banquet for the weekend!

Kyle Reinhardt opened the month of September with new found speed and results that showed the momentum he was building.

The three day Tuscarora 50 put a brief damper on the positive vibes in the No.91 pit area as the team struggled to get their powerplant to perform to its potential.

After a weekend off, Reinhardt returned at Williams Grove Speedway over the weekend and showed he has a lot of speed and he has his program going the right direction.

QUICK RESULTS

DATE:  September 20, 2024

  • Event:  Kevin Gobrecht Challenge
  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Location:  Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA   
  • Stats:  24 cars, Qualifying 2nd, Heat 4th (4), A-main 3rd (4)

BOLD MOVE, HEATED BATTLE

Reinhardt kicked off Friday night’s Kevin Gobrecht Challenge by ripping off the second quickest lap in qualifying, just 0.071 seconds behind quick timer T.J. Stutts.

He proceeded to transfer to the A-main with a 4th place finish in his heat race to put the Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, E-Z-GO Golf Cars, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 in the show with a starting spot outside row two.

Reinhardt started 4th in the 25-lap A-main and quickly grabbed the 3rd spot with a power move around the outside of Lucas Wolfe off turn four on the opening lap.  

The Neptune City, NJ native chased Stutts and Justin Whittal, never leaving them out of sight.  Just past the midpoint of the race, Freddie Rahmer drew close to Reinhardt in lapped traffic but the No.91 was up to the challenge, maintaining a grasp on 3rd.

Following a red flag with ten laps remaining, Reinhardt took his shot.  He slid under Stutts in turn three and briefly held second before Stutts crossed over and reclaimed the spot.  

Reinhardt continued to challenge Stutts, pressuring him high and low to take away the runner up position, but couldn’t wrestle the spot away and took the 3rd place finish.  

“I’m happy with our speed right now.  We’ve worked hard to get to this point.  As long as we keep up with that, opportunities to win will come as well.”, Reinhardt commented.  

Reinhardt will need to continue to build on his recent performance to close out the season with a good foundation for 2025.  He has about a dozen planned races remaining on his 2024 schedule, with over half of those against the World of Outlaws.  The other half against the tough Central PA regulars.

UP NEXT

Reinhardt will return to Williams Grove Speedway this Friday for the Outlaw tune-up, then will enter the Weldon Sterner Memorial Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway.
