Kyle Reinhardt returned home to Pennsylvania coming off a good showing over four nights at Eldora Speedway in Ohio.  To keep the momentum going, he had just a few days to prepare because the World of Outlaws series was also headed to the Keystone State to take on the PA Posse at BAPS Motor Speedway.

  • Date:  July 20, 2023
  • Event:  Bricker’s Bash
  • Track:  BAPS Motor Speedway
  • City, State:   York Haven, PA
  • Quick Stats:  32 cars, Qualifying 25th, Heat 4th (7), A-main 14th (13)

Fast Out of the Gate

Reinhardt had a solid record at BAPS Motor Speedway in 2023 coming into the matchup with the Outlaws, including a win in the Greg Hodnett Foundation race on June 1st in the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.

Wednesday night, July 19th Reinhardt was among a field of 35 drivers ready for competition and he got his night off to a great start despite a late draw for qualifying.  The Neptune City, NJ native ripped off the 8th quickest lap overall and earned a front row starting spot in his heat.

Moments later, the skies opened up and Mother Nature washed out any chance of cashing in on the hot start.

 

Take Two

Teams returned Thursday night to try again.  The program started over from the beginning with Reinhardt once again going out late in the qualifying order.  This time he found himself 25th quickest with an uphill battle ahead of him.

Reinhardt rebounded quickly in his heat race by blasting from his 7th starting spot into the 4th spot on the opening lap.  He held on to that transfer spot for the next seven circuits to lock himself into the A-main.

In the 30-lap finale, Reinhardt found himself in tight battles with Kasey Kahne, Donny Schatz and others throughout the fast-paced race.  When the dust had settled, he had earned a 14th place finish.

“Just really missed the line in time trials and that put us behind.  Then were just kind of there in the feature after recovering good in the heat race.“, Reinhardt said.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Kyle can be contacted via [email protected].

Up Next

Reinhardt will sit out this weekend’s action as the team works to get their engines sorted out for the upcoming Knoxville Nationals and awaits repairs to their toter.

Tentatively, if everything falls into place in time, Reinhardt would like to make the trip to Grandview Speedway on July 25th to race with the High Limit Sprint Car Series and to Port Royal Speedway for the Living Legends Dream Race/Greg Hodnett Classic.

Kody Hartlaub Back In the Top Five at Lincoln Speedway

Team Will Enjoy Off Weekend Before Returning for Double-Bill Weekend to Close Out July 

Abbottstown, PA – July 19, 2023

Over the past month, Mother Nature has interfered with the Central Pennsylvania racing schedule, but Kody Hartlaub managed to squeeze in another 410 sprint car start, plus a couple more outings in his 358 sprint car.

The result was more of the consistent, quality runs fans have become accustomed to from Hartlaub in 2023.  

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  June 17, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Qualifying 24th, Heat 8th (8), B-main 4th (6), A-main 14th (22)

 

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  July 8, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  36 cars, Heat 2nd (5), A-main 11th (12)

 

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  July 15, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  33 cars, Heat 2nd (3), A-main 4th (12)

 

Making 410 Laps

An off week for the 358 sprint cars on June 17th at Lincoln Speedway presented Hartlaub with a chance to get more 410 sprint car seat time.  With 29 teams on hand for the PA Speedweek tuneup show, it wasn’t a guaranteed start.  He would have to earn his way into the show.

Hartlaub’s pill draw put him on track late in the order for time trails and his best lap ranked as 24th quickest in the field.  That equated to starting 8th in his heat.

The East Berlin, PA driver wasn’t able to move forward in the heat race and was relegated to the 6th starting spot in the B-main.  Hartlaub needed to stay in the top six to transfer and he managed to secure a little insurance by finishing 4th.

Hartlaub’s night got even better after he secured the 22nd starting spot in the A-main.  By the end of lap two he had advanced 3 spots to 19th and by lap five he was 15th in the running order.

Midway through the race Hartlaub slipped back to 17th but continued to battle and eventually climbed back to 15th.  With three laps remaining he turned his quickest lap of the feature and worked his way into the 14th position.  He held on there to the checkered flag.

“That was a decent night, I’ll take it.  Things happen a little quicker in these cars obviously and I think what hurts me right now is that I don’t run them regularly.  At the beginning of the night I feel like I’m still adjusting to the speed, not in terms of running hard but in terms of decision making.  As the night goes on, I adjust and things slow down and I feel like I race better because I’m making better decisions.  All part of the learning process.“, Hartlaub said.

Racing the Rubber

Thanks to Mother Nature and schedules, Hartlaub didn’t make a lap for three weeks before finally getting the chance to strap in again on July 8th at Lincoln Speedway.  It was a 358 sprint car night for the Littlestown, PA native and 35 other teams were pit-side with him.  The regular format called for the top five finishers in each heat to transfer to the main event, with the top three being handicapped to the front.

Hartlaub started 5th in the final heat.  Nearly halfway through the ten lap qualifying race he was sitting in 4th, in the show but not in the handicap.  He continued to work forward, taking the 3rd spot on lap five and capturing the final handicap spot on the final lap.

Being the current point leader at Lincoln Speedway, Hartlaub assumed the 12th starting spot for the 20-lap feature.  On lap three he moved into 11th but the racing surface had taken rubber, making it a one lane affair around the bottom.  The best he could do was make sure he didn’t miss his marks so he didn’t go backwards.  He finished 11th, his first time outside of the top ten in his 358 sprint car since March.

 

Feeling Normal

Saturday night July 15th brought another typical field of over thirty 358 sprint cars to Lincoln Speedway.  With a slightly better draw than the week before, Kody Hartlaub started 3rd in his heat and managed to claim a spot in the handicap with a 2nd place finish.  Once again, as the points leader at the track, his reward was a 12th starting spot in the 20-lap main event.

Although those things were all similar to prior weeks for Hartlaub, the rest of the night felt more like 2021 when he was passing a lot of cars and charging from the back to the front in the Brewer Home Improvements, Moose Blocks, Smith Titanium, SRR Engines, Siegel Racing, T&N Solutions, Inch & Co. Real Estate, Bigham Appraisals, Pretzel Boy, HAAS Shocks, Chop Designs, Herr Electric, Hartlaub’s Furniture, Kody Hartlaub Racing No.95.

From that 12th starting spot, on a very racy surface, Hartlaub got right to work.  By lap three he was in the top ten.  The methodical climb continued throughout the night.  

Hartlaub reached 7th on lap eight but had to fight for several laps to secure it, finally taking it for good on lap twelve.  With seven laps remaining he cracked the top five and a couple laps later moved into 4th.  When the checkers waived, the 4th place finish was official. 

Hartlaub has been having a tremendous season but it was surprising to note that this was his first top five finish since May 27th at BAPS Motor Speedway.  Overall, it was his 10th top ten in twelve races spanning three different tracks.  A remarkable statistic.

“These 20-lap deals are tough when you get handicapped to 12th for the start.  You have to go forward right away.  I’ve been working hard this year on being aggressive but smart.  I will take chances out there but I want to take the correct chances.  So far I feel like I’m doing a better job at that than I did last year.“, Hartlaub said.

“It’s the little things like knowing I can catch the car in front of me but being smart about exactly when I catch it.  With so few laps to work with, I need to make sure I pass someone the first chance I get, not spend three laps trying to get it done.  Those are the things I’m thinking about behind the wheel.“

Up Next

Kody and the team will enjoy a weekend off before returning  for a two-race weekend at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway on July 28th and 29th respectively in their 358 sprint car.

Cappetta and Team Continue to Make Gains

Cappetta Matches Season Best Finish

Abbottstown, PA – July 19, 2023

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos Photography

Ashley and the Cappetta Racing Team put together a solid night despite starting off yet again with a high pill draw.

  • Date:  July 15, 2023
  • Event:  Dean’s Auto Plaza Night
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  33 cars, Heat 4th [8], A-main 13th [16]

 

Cappetta and the Team Had the Car on Rails

Ashley Cappetta and the Gettysburg Trading Post, Mike’s Towing and Recovery, Yesteryear Antique Center, Stoner’s Auction, O’Brien’s Fuel and Service, Iron Horse Trains, Republican Club of Hanover No. 89 were back in action on Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway for Dean’s Auto Plaza Night.

After another high pill draw to start off the night, Cappetta lined up eighth for her heat race. Just as Ashley had driven her way into a transfer spot, she got caught up in an incident in turns 3 and 4, sending her back to the rear, “The car was on absolute rails before the contact in the heat. The car did not feel as good as it did before the spin out.” Cappetta rejoined the heat race with some nose wing damage which threw the car off a little bit. Ashley was still able to get back into a qualifying spot putting her in the feature, “If we would have stayed green third could have been possible.”

Another Solid Feature Run for Cappetta

Cappetta lined up 16th for the start of the 20-lap feature was running 14th on lap 4, “We moved forward, but not as far forward as I wanted to.” With four laps to go, Ashley made the pass for 13th, which is where she would finish, “I had a little bit of wheel spin coming off of turn 4. The car felt great, but I just couldn’t get past the wheel spin, it was just enough to throw me off.” Ashley’s 13th place finish matched her season best finish that came at BAPS on May 27th.

Cappetta and Team Making Gains

Everything went well in the feature for Cappetta on Saturday despite two set-backs to start off the night with a high pill draw and getting caught up in an incident in the heat race, “We are making gains every week and looking forward to comparing notes to last week to see what we can put together for the rest of the season.” Cappetta has a positive outlook for the second half of the season, “We are slowly getting there, we just need a good pill draw to seal the deal.”

Kyle Reinhardt Makes Eldora Million Field, Puts Together Solid Week at The Big E

BAPS Motor Speedway With Outlaws Up Next

Port Royal, PA – July 18, 2023

Kyle Reinhardt loaded up and headed to Ohio riding a nice wave of momentum from a career best Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek performance that resulted in a top five finish in series points.

Heading into four consecutive nights of the toughest fields and potentially most lucrative races of the season in the first ever Eldora Million and 40th Annual King’s Royal, he would need every bit of that momentum and the confidence that came with it.

Million Prelim

A massive field of 83 sprint cars made their way to western Ohio’s Eldora Speedway to take their shot at the sports first ever million dollar to win race.  Just making the starting field would pay more than most could earn for winning a feature event.

For Wednesday’s preliminary night program, the field was split into two groups and each ran their own complete show, earning points throughout the night that would set the lineups for Thursday night’s heat races.  Reinhardt timed 19th quickest in Group A.  

Reinhardt started 4th in his heat race, needing to stay in the top five to make the preliminary night’s Group A feature.  He did just that, coming home 5th.

The qualifying run put Reinhardt 14th on the starting grid for the A-main.  In only his fourth career start at ‘The Big E’, he had the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 on point as he moved into the top ten as the race approached the halfway mark.

The caution flag waived at the halfway mark with Reinhardt running 11th.  The ensuing restart cost the Neptune City, NJ native a couple spots and he ultimately finished 14th.

 

Racing for a Big Payday

The field of 83 returned for Thursday’s finale with six heat races already laid out based on Wednesday’s results.  Only the top three finishers would transfer directly to the Eldora Million starting field, while the rest would be thrust into the dogfights known as the C-main and B-main to scrap for one of the remaining starting spots.

Reinhardt started 5th in his heat race but was unable to make any forward progress and was relegated to the B-main.  That’s where he started to turn some heads.

On the opening lap, Reinhardt broke into the top ten and by lap ten he was knocking on the door of a transfer spot.  The following trip around he claimed the 6th spot and held on to the end to take the final transfer spot into the Eldora Million.

Reinhardt wasn’t done passing cars.  After the ceremonial driver introductions and class photo for the first ever million dollar sprint car race, he strapped in and went back to work.  

From his 24th starting spot in the 50-lap A-main, Reinhardt climbed to 17th just before the halfway mark and held on to finish there.

Royal Prelim

Friday night brought a shift of gears to the World of Outlaws sanctioned Knight Before the King’s Royal.  Kyle Reinhardt was back at it Friday night right along with  66 other teams who remained in the house for the show.

After qualifying 17th in Group B, Reinhardt drove from 8th to 6th in his heat race, one spot shy of transferring to the A-main.  In the B-main, Reinhardt hung tough in 4th throughout the race to claim the final transfer spot once again.

For the second consecutive night he was in the show and he would have his work cut out for him from the 24th starting spot.  On this night, Reinhardt only had 30 laps to work with, not 50 like the night before.  Once again Reinhardt started his progression early and managed to make his way into 17th at the checkered flag.

Competing for Royalty

After making three of the toughest feature fields of the season on three consecutive nights, Reinhardt was feeling optimistic about his team’s chances to race their way into the $175,000-to-win 40th Annual King’s Royal on Saturday night against 60 other capable teams.

Unfortunately, Reinhardt developed engine issues after hot laps and didn’t compete the remainder of the night.

 

Assessing the Week

“I’m really happy with our effort at Eldora Speedway this past week!  We improved every night while making some of the biggest shows of the year.“, Reinhardt said.

“We felt really good going into Saturday’s King’s Royal and went P4 in hot laps.  Unfortunately, our engine started to lay down in qualifying.  I made two laps in the heat race but it was still struggling, so that ended our week.  I want to thank everyone who has a hand in our program, plus of course Chris, Lawton and Kent for busing their butts all week long!“

 

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Kyle can be contacted via [email protected].

Up Next

Reinhardt will take on the World of Outlaws on his home turf at BAPS Motor Speedway’s Bricker’s Bash on July 19th and (tentatively) the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway on July 21st-22nd.  The latter is tentative because the team is awaiting completion of a repair to the motor they need for that event.

Keen Unable to Climb Out of Early Hole at Lincoln Saturday

Abbottstown, PA – July 12, 2023

Kyle Keen returned to Lincoln Speedway over the weekend, nearly a month after his last visit resulted in a runner-up finish.

In the month that had passed, Keen endured multiple rainouts and had only completed one race, a URC event at Selinsgrove.  Saturday night he was looking to pick up where he left off and begin to build some consistent momentum.

  • Date:  July 8, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  36 cars, Heat 6th (8), B-main 4th (4), A-main 18th (24)

 

Play the Hand You Are Dealt

As is typical at Lincoln Speedway when the 358 sprint cars are on the card, a deep field was pit-side.  Thirty-six teams signed in for the show, which lined up heats by pill draw, then set the feature lineup with the top five finishers transferring and only the top three being handicapped to the front.

Keen’s pill draw set him up with an uphill challenge for the night by putting him 8th on the grid for the fourth heat race.  He got a great start and raced into 6th on the opening lap, then started his charge for more.  

A few laps in, Keen was the victim of a spin in front of him.  With nowhere to go, he got collected in the incident.  Fortunately he was able to restart the race at the rear of the field, but he was only able to get back to 6th by the end of the 10-lap qualifying event in the Fine Line Auto Body, Keen Parts/CorvetteParts.net, Doubling Gap Ranch, Shetron, Auction & Equipment, LLC., Wicked Dog Grille, Heishman Racing Fuels, Wicked Cushion, DL Lehman Construction, Gearhead Coffee, Jeremy Zarfos Photography, Coyle’s Lawn Maintenance, 2B Wrapped, 4 Leaf Clover Farms, Turn 2 Terribles Podcast & Media, Kyle Keen Motorsports No.17.

After missing the transfer by one spot, Keen made his way into the feature with a 4th place finish in the B-main.  From his 24th starting spot in the A-main, he was able to climb to 18th over the course of the twenty laps.

“It wasn’t the night we were hoping for, but I felt we were decent all night despite the outcome.“, Keen said.  “It was just one of those nights when you have to play the hand you are dealt.“

“After the track took rubber, it was tough to really see how good or bad we were.  In that situation you just have to hold your ground and defend.  Going on offense is tough.“

 

Up Next

Although not on his original schedule, Kyle Keen will return to Lincoln Speedway this Saturday, July 15th.

Cappetta Comfortable Behind the Wheel After Summer Break

/in , /by

Team Heading in the Right Direction

Abbottstown, PA – July 12, 2023

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos Photography

The Cappetta Racing Team had a solid car on the track Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway, but rough pill draw had them playing catch up all night.

  • Date:  July 8, 2023
  • Event:  Hanover Building Systems Night
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  36 cars, Heat 4th [7], A-main 15th [16]

 

Cappetta Plagued by Pill Draw Again

Ashley Cappetta and the Gettysburg Trading Post, Mike’s Towing and Recovery, Yesteryear Antique Center, Stoner’s Auction, O’Brien’s Fuel and Service, Iron Horse Trains, Republican Club of Hanover No. 89 were back in action on Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway for Hanover Building Systems Night.

Cappetta and the team started the night off with yet another subpar pill draw.  The high pill had Ashley start seventh in her heat race. Despite starting towards the back Cappetta’s car carried good speed, “I haven’t had a car that drivable since 2019.” With the car in good shape, Ashley finished fourth in her heat race, putting her in the feature.

Third Time Isn’t the Charm for Cappetta

Ashley started the 20-lap feature from the sixteenth starting spot. Unfortunately, it took three tries to get a lap in, “I carried speed coming out of turns 1 and 2 on the initial start, then on the second start I got up to fifteenth. The third start I stayed where I started.”

With the field being shifted for each start, Cappetta felt more comfortable starting on the outside, which is where she started for the initial start and the first restart. The final restart Cappetta restarted on the inside and despite feeling comfortable for the first five laps, she could not get a good run on Chris Frank. Once Frank pulled in Cappetta could get to where she needed on the track and spent most of the feature racing hard with veteran driver, Steve Owings.

“I got to see how Steve runs and his entry points. I think we could have passed him if I hadn’t showed him my nose.” Owings had the advantage in turns 1 and 2 but Cappetta was able to make up some ground in turns 3 and 4 through the middle. Cappetta crossed the line fifteenth, matching her best finish at Lincoln so far this year.

Cappetta Regrouped and Went Back to Basics

With nearly a month off from racing for Cappetta and the 358 Sprint Car division, Cappetta and the team took some time to regroup, “We switched all of our tires out to the new tire and I took some time to focus on running my business and spent time with family.”

Ashley also spent time with her original crew chief talking and comparing notes on how her season has played out so far, “After chatting with him we started back with the basics and the car felt a lot better. Overall, we are heading in the right direction we just need some luck and to put together a solid night.” Cappetta is looking forward to getting back to Lincoln on Saturday to see the full results of how good the car felt this past weekend.

Stay tuned to Cappetta’s social media accounts, as well as Addicted2DirtPR.com/Events for the most up to date schedule information.

Reinhardt Turns Heads With Top 5 Pennsylvania Speedweek Points Finish

/in , /by

Team Will Race Selinsgrove Sunday Then Head West for Eldora Million and Kings Royal

Port Royal, PA – July 7, 2023

Coming into the final four nights of the 2023 Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek, Kyle Reinhardt was sitting 6th in series points with his goal of an overall top five finish alive and well.

Reinhardt had positioned himself there by logging feature finishes of 12th, 6th, 7th, and 10th in the four A-mains that had been completed out of the first six scheduled nights.

Mother Nature appeared poised to rob Reinhardt of some or all of his final four chances to improve his points position.  Despite her best efforts, he got his chances and got it done.

Groovin' at The Grove

The 35th annual Mitch Smith Memorial at Williams Grove Speedway, sporting a total purse of $50,000, attracted a field of 29 cars Friday night, June 30th.

Reinhardt, who had four top-ten finishes in his first four starts at the famed facility this season, logged the 12th fastest lap in qualifying in a highly competitive field.  To demonstrate just how competitive, a mere 0.075 seconds better would have put the Neptune City, NJ native 8th in the results.

Reinhardt ‘held serve’ in his heat race, starting and finishing 3rd, which put him 10th on the starting grid for the night’s 30-lap finale.  He wasted no time, surging to 8th on the opening lap.  He held that spot for the opening ten trips around, slipped back to 9th briefly, then regained his momentum.

As the race entered the final ten laps, Reinhardt’s No.91 came alive.  He moved into 7th on lap twenty, then took possession of 6th on lap twenty-six and held down that spot to the finish.

 

Wet Weekend

It was a typical humidity-filled, late-afternoon, summer thunderstorms kind of weekend in Central Pennsylvania.  The active weather pattern claimed two victims.  Saturday’s Greg Hodnett Classic at Port Royal Speedway and Sunday’s Opperman-Bogar-Heinztelman Memorial at Selinsgrove both were wiped off the Speedweek schedule by the weather.  The latter was rescheduled to the following weekend but would not carry Speedweek points.

Monday’s Speedweek finale at Port Royal Speedway almost survived but the rains hit as time trials were nearing completion.  Fortunately, Tuesday was available as a rain date for that event.

Speed Palace Finale

Thirty five team returned to Port Royal Speedway on Independence Day for the Keith Kauffman Classic, which would pay $15,000 to the victor.

Reinhardt has had his share of struggles at The Speed Palace in recent years but on this night, he went out 23rd for qualifying and turned in the 5th quickest lap in the field, his best time trial result of speedweek in the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91.

Going from the pole of the first heat of the night, Reinhardt needed to win to make the redraw.  He dominated the first seven laps before a late caution.  The ensuing restart had Lance Dewease on his tail and the veteran took his shot at Reinhardt, getting by in turn one to briefly claim the top spot.

Reinhardt crossed over and drove back under Dewease coming to the checkered flag, winning the heat race by a slim 0.025 seconds.

The redraw didn’t go Reinhardt’s way as he pulled the number eight from the bag, putting him outside the fourth row for the 30-lap main event.  One the opening lap he charged to 6th and remained there for a handful of circuits before slipping to 7th.

In the closing laps, Reinhardt was battling a tight racecar and fighting hard in the back half of the top ten.  He slipped back one spot in the final lap to a 9th place finish.

 

Career Best PA Speedweek

Reinhardt’s efforts on the closing night of the 2023 edition of Pennsylvania Speedweek moved him into 5th in the final series standings.

“Overall, it was a very solid week for us.  I’m super happy with our consistency and the speed we have. Need to keep chipping away to get better track position and race for some podiums. I want to thank all my guys for their efforts all week.“, Reinhardt commented.

Final PA Speedweek Points:

 1) 39M Anthony Macri   989

 2) 19 Brent Marks    826

 3) 13 Justin Peck    739

 4) 51/8 Freddie Rahmer 698

 5) 91 Kyle Reinhardt   637

 6) 44 Dylan Norris     575

 7) 58 Tanner Thorson   573

 8) 48 Danny Dietrich   543

 9) 69K Lance Dewease   515

10) 11 TJ Stutts    499

 

New Addition

“I am also really looking forward to working with Chris (Shuttlesworth) moving forward. Since he joined our team at Hagerstown, I feel a lot more confident in my car and some weight has been lifted off my shoulders with the decision making during the night so I can focus on driving.“

Reinhardt has had good speed all year, has one win and has shown he is on the doorstep of consistently competing for podium finishes and wins.  The addition of Shuttlesworth could be the key to accomplishing that.

Reinhardt and the Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet Beer, Ace Distributing, Henry’s Wrecker Service team will be one to keep an eye on over the second half of the 2023 season.

 

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Kyle can be contacted via [email protected].

Up Next

Reinhardt will return to Selinsgrove Speedway this Sunday, July 9th, for the makeup of the $10,000 to win Opperman-Bogar-Heinzelman Memorial that was rained out during speedweek.

A couple days later the team will load up and head west for Eldora Speedway to compete in the Eldora Million and the King’s Royal July 12th-15th.

Minor Bump at Lincoln

Opening night of the 2023 Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek was washed away by rain, forcing teams to wait 24 hours to kick off the festivities at Lincoln Speedway.

Kyle Reinhardt and the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 was among a strong field of 37 teams ready to get the annual summer tradition started.

Reinhardt’s night got off to a solid start, clicking off the 11th best lap overall in time trials.  The only minor bump in the road for Reinhardt was a 3rd place finish in his heat race after starting 2nd.  The one position cost him a few starting spots in the feature event.

From his 14th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main, Reinhardt was able to climb two spots to finish out the night with a 12th place finish.

 

Late Surge at BAPS

Sunday night the series moved on to BAPS Motor speedway where 34 drivers registered.  Reinhardt timed 9th quickest overall, once again putting himself on the front row of his heat race.  He slipped one spot to a 3rd place finish.

In the 30-lap A-main, Reinhardt took the green from outside row five.  In the early going he struggled and fell back to 12th for a few laps, then 11th.

At the halfway point, Reinhardt started to find his rhythm and make forward progress.  He surged into 7th on lap sixteen, then into sixth two circuits later.  He held a firm grip on the spot the rest of the way for a 6th place finish.

With severe weather forecast for the area all afternoon and evening, Monday night’s event at Lincoln Speedway was rescheduled to the off day, Thursday.

Tuesday night’s show at Grandview Speedway also fell victim to the weather, with no makeup date available.

 

Maryland March

The series resumed under sunny skies just across the Mason-Dixon Line at Hagerstown Speedway in Maryland.  Thirty teams made the trek for the Wednesday night race.

Early on Reinhardt was having a tough time dialing his ride in.  He turned in the 14th best lap overall, then rode to a 5th place finish in his heat race.

From his 14th starting spot in the 30-lap main event, Reinhardt showed he had finally hit on a good combination as he marched his way steadily forward throughout the race, crossing the finish line with a 7th place finish.

Following the completion of this third event of the week, Reinhardt sat 7th in overall PA Speedweek points.

Late Restarts at Lincoln

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.

 

Speedweek: Looking Back and Forward

“Overall, we have been solid so far in (PA) Speedweek.  We need to work on the early part of our night to get in a better starting position.“, Reinhardt commented.

“We are sitting 7th in points right now with four races remaining.  Our goal is to finish in the top five in points.  Hopefully the rain stays away, and we get to race all four nights.“

Unofficial Speedweek points after Lincoln:
1) 39M Anthony Macri 659
2) 8/51 Freddie Rahmer 553
3) 13 Justin Peck 537
4) 19 Brent Marks 516
5) 48 Danny Dietrich 467
6) 58 Tanner Thorson 435
7) 91 Kyle Reinhardt 407
8) 44 Dylan Norris 384
9) 11 TJ Stutts 338
10) 5w Lucas Wolfe 333

Reinhardt Rolls to Solid Ohio Speedweek Weekend

/in , /by

Grueling 10-Race Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek Up Next

West Portsmouth, PA – June 20, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Kyle Reinhardt put together a solid weekend in Ohio by making all three shows, improving each night and culminating with his best finish of the trip on the final night.

It was a positive outcome after a rough start to the weekend.

Reinhardt’s trip to Ohio on Thursday to join the All Star Circuit of Champions for the final three nights of Ohio Sprint Speedweek got off to a bumpy start when the team experienced a flat steer tire on their rig less than ninety minutes from Atomic Speedway.

The team knew that if they could get back on the road in time, prep time at the track would be minimal to none, so they made good use of the unplanned down time by prepping race tires along the roadside for that night’s event.  Fortunately, help arrived and got them back on the road in the nick of time. 

  • Date:  June 15, 2023
  • Event:  Ohio Sprint Speedweek – Night 6
  • Track:  Atomic Speedway
  • City, State:   Chillicothe, OH
  • Quick Stats:  41 cars, Qualifying 4th in Group B, Heat 4th (3), A-main 12th (16)

 

  • Date:  June 16, 2023
  • Event:  Ohio Sprint Speedweek – Night 7
  • Track:  Eldora Speedway
  • City, State:   New Weston, OH
  • Quick Stats:  44 cars, Qualifying 4th in Group B, Heat 2nd (3), A-main 12th (12)

 

  • Date:  June 17, 2023
  • Event:  Ohio Sprint Speedweek – Night 8
  • Track:  Portsmouth Raceway Park
  • City, State:   West Portsmouth, OH
  • Quick Stats:  46 cars, Qualifying 1st in Group D, Heat 3rd (4), Dash 5th (4), A-main 7th (5)

 

Hectic Night at Atomic

Reinhardt and team unloaded at Atomic Speedway with literally minutes to prepare for their qualifying session.  The tires were ready but final preparations created a fast-paced scene.  Considering the laps under the clock set the table for the entire night, the attention to detail at the beginning of the night can often be the most crucial time.

The Neptune City, NJ native managed to log the 4th fastest lap in his group.  He went on to a 4th place finish in his heat race to lock himself into the main event.  Locking in through the heat race meant the team finally had a chance to slow down and focus on feature preparation.

Reinhardt started 16th in the 30-lap A-main.  He never seemed to be free of close competition for any position throughout the race but was able to make forward progress, ultimately finishing 12th.

“I’m happy to come away with a decent night after the day we had.  We will catch our breath and move on to Eldora.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a less stressful day.“, Reinhardt commented.

 

Solid Effort at The Big E

Friday afternoon, Reinhardt unloaded the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 at Eldora Speedway, only his third career visit to the famed facility.

The field grew from 41 cars the night before to 44 for the $12,000 to win event, which also served as the last chance for teams to get track time prior to the upcoming Eldora Million.  Reinhardt timed 4th quick in his group once again, this time just 0.041 seconds out of 3rd, which would have given him a front row starting spot in his heat race.

Reinhardt started 3rd in heat number two and, after a couple attempts to get the race started, bolted into the runner up spot on the opening lap, then held on to finish 2nd.

The 30-lap A-main was another fast-paced affair.  Reinhardt flirted with cracking the top ten on several occasions.  In the late going, he battled an always tough Lance Dewease and managed to keep him at bay to claim another 12th place finish.

 

Leaving Portsmouth with Positives

Saturday night’s $22,554 to win Ohio Speedweek finale attracted 46 teams to Portsmouth Raceway Park (PRP) in Southern Ohio along the Ohio River.

Reinhardt has been fast in previous visits to PRP and he showed it again Saturday night by turning a lap of 13.263, fastest in Group D qualifying.  He went on to secure a spot in the Dash by finishing 3rd in his heat race and transferring to the A-main.

After starting outside row two, Reinhardt finished 5th in the dash to capture the inside row three starting spot for the main event.  He had good speed early and just past the halfway point was running 5th.  

Reinhardt lost a couple spots as the race entered the final ten laps, then slipped two more in the midst of some heated battles.  He regained his rhythm and battled back to a 7th place finish as the race drew to a close.

“Overall, we had a solid weekend.  We had decent speed in time trials and all night really.  Just need to get my feature speed more consistent through the race and we will be racing for top fives.“, Reinhardt said.  

With less than five career starts at each of the three Ohio tracks and able to make the show every night from a field of over 40 cars, it was definitely a solid weekend for Reinhardt.  Now it’s back to Pennsylvania to try to carry that momentum into the annual summer tradition there.

 

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Kyle can be contacted via [email protected].

Hartlaub Makes 410 Start, Banks Two Top Ten’s in 358 Action

/in , /by

Second 410 Sprint Race on Tap This Weekend at Lincoln Speedway

Abbottstown, PA – June 14, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Kody Hartlaub has been building his 358 sprint car program’s depth, preparation and performance over the past few seasons.  All of it is toward the ultimate goal of entering the 410 sprint car ranks, not in a rush, but with a solid foundation.

The East Berlin, PA resident has filled the seat of a couple 410 sprint cars for a few races over the past couple years.  That was certainly valuable for the experience it provided.  As he entered last offseason, (with the help of Pat Brewer and Brewer Home Improvements) Hartlaub decided it was time to start assembling his own 410 program.  In late May, it was ready to hit the track at BAPS Motor Speedway during a test-and-tune night.  With that test under his belt, he targeted Williams Grove Speedway the following week to make his 2023 410 debut.

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  June 2, 2023
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Quick Stats:  21 cars, Heat 6th (7), A-main 18th (17)

 

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  June 3, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Heat 1st (2), A-main 7th (9)  [feature makeup June 10th]

 

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  June 9, 2023
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Quick Stats:  rained out

 

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  June 10, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  34 cars, Heat 1st (1), A-main 10th (12)

 

Seat Time

The June 2nd show at Williams Grove Speedway drew only twenty one 410 sprint cars, guaranteeing Hartlaub the maximum laps he could ask for to gain valuable knowledge and experience in his own equipment.

Hartlaub started 7th in his heat race and he managed a 6th place finish to secure the 17th starting spot in the 25-lap main event.

In the A-main, Hartlaub appeared to be on his way to a notable season debut in the division.  By lap three he was already in 12th and the top ten was in sight.  

With ten laps complete, Hartlaub chose to drop off the pace and pull in.  The issue wasn’t with the car, it was with the driver.  Hartlaub had been feeling ill for the past 24 hours but had rested prior to racing Friday night and felt ok to start the night.  The evening took a toll on him though and he made the smart decision to get out of the car.  He was officially credited with an 18th place finish but what was gained in the process was very valuable.

“My plan was to just lag back and make laps behind the field but when I did that in the heat race I caught the field pretty quickly, so I thought what the heck let’s race.  In the feature I did that and I was pretty happy with how that was going but I started to really not feel very well and knew it wasn’t smart to stay out and try to fight through it.  I didn’t have anything to gain from doing that.“, Hartlaub said.

 

Short Night

The following night at Lincoln Speedway, after a lot of rest and a visit to the doctor, Hartlaub was back in the seat of his 358 sprint car and rolling to the green flag on the front row of his heat race.  Polesitter Justin foster took command at the start but on lap nine, Hartlaub finally wrestled the lead away and went on to win the heat race.

Hartlaub was slated to start 9th in the A-main but unfortunately the rains came before the event could take the track.

Long Night

Hartlaub planned on racing in the 358 sprint car at Williams Grove Speedway on June 9th, but a late afternoon rain storm washed out the show.

Saturday night, Hartlaub was back at Lincoln Speedway with the makeup feature from the previous week on the agenda, along with the night’s regular show.

Following hot laps, the previous week’s rained out feature led off the action.  Hartlaub started 9th and quickly surged into the top five on lap four.  Progress stalled there. 

Hartlaub held down the 5th spot until lap fifteen, when he slipped back to 6th.  On the final circuit he dropped to a 7th place finish in the Brewer Home Improvements, Moose Blocks, Smith Titanium, SRR Engines, Siegel Racing, T&N Solutions, Inch & Co. Real Estate, Bigham Appraisals, Pretzel Boy, HAAS Shocks, Chop Designs, Herr Electric, Hartlaub’s Furniture, Kody Hartlaub Racing No.95.

“Our results in that first feature are on me.  The track was different at both ends and we weren’t good at either end because I tuned myself right out of it.“, Hartlaub said.

In the night’s regular show, Hartlaub started on the pole of his heat race and he controlled the race from start to finish, winning by 1.46 seconds.

With the handicap system in play and Hartlaub leading the points, he assumed the 12th starting spot for the 20-lap main event. Unfortunately, the track had started to take rubber during the 410 sprint car feature, so teams were dealing with a narrow, if not single lane, surface from the drop of the green.

Hartlaub managed to battle his way to a 10th place finish but that was as far forward as conditions would allow him to go.  With five events now in the books at Lincoln Speedway in 2023, Hartlaub leads the point standings by 50 over Steve Owings.

Up Next: More 410 and 358 Action

Hartlaub will strap back into his 410 sprint car at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, June 17th.

Friday night June 23rd Hartlaub will be back in the seat of his 358 sprint car at Williams Grove Speedway.

 

Season Stats: 358 Division
