Zach Newlin Set to Embark on First Full Time 410 Sprint Season

/in , /by

Busy 2022 Will Also Include Several 358 Sprint Races

Millerstown, PA – March 2, 2022

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

During both the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Zach Newlin was fortunate to have the chance to dabble in winged 410 sprint car competition in Central Pennsylvania.  It was enough to show his potential, and it was enough to land a full time opportunity for 2022.

 

When the season opens at Port Royal Speedway this month, Newlin will once again be behind the wheel of the Pryde Motorsports No.29, fielded by long-time owner Allen Pryde.  It’s the same seat he finished last season in, but now the team has the benefit of having worked together and an offseason to prepare.

 

Newlin will have good equipment, a knowledgeable car owner, and his long time crew chief (and brother), Lance Newlin by his side.  Still, he is realistic when preparing for his first full season in the tough 410 sprint car division in the heart of PA Posse-land.

 

“Sure, it would be great to pick up a win.  I think it could happen if things go right for us, but a good goal for us is to run in the top 10 consistently.  If we aim for that and achieve it, then we will be in position to grab some top 5’s or podium runs when the opportunity is there.  You can’t expect too much, but you have to challenge yourself“, Newlin said.

 

He’s not just saying the right things.  He speaks from experience.  He’s been there before on other levels.  He may still be ‘green’ when it comes to 410 racing, but Newlin has been racing and climbing through the ranks over the past 20+ years and has achieved his share of success in each of them.

 

There is no reason to believe this new adventure won’t have a similar outcome.  This wheelman and his team are likely to garner some attention and turn some heads this season and beyond.

 

The majority of the Pryde Motorsports 2022 schedule will bring the Grove Financial & Associates / Dillman Hauling / Del Grosso Foods / Ron’s RV Sales / Kirby Kitner Excavating / FIT Transportation / Christine Booher, Realtor / Gio’s BBQ / T&M Homebuilders / Robert Lee Jr. Trucking / R&B Auto Proz / Strange Oval / Walker Performance Filtration / RAM Acoustics / Newlin Bar Service No.29 to the ‘Speed Palace’ in Port Royal, PA, but you can expect to see them at BAPS Motor Speedway as well.  Other events could be added as the season progresses, so be sure to follow along to keep up to date.

 

In addition to a substantial schedule of possibly 30-35 races in the 410 sprint car, Newlin will also be returning to the seat of the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 sprint car, which primarily competes at Williams Grove Speedway.

 

“I love racing with Dan (Mansberger) and his team.  He’s got good equipment and my brother (Lance) and I have a good time racing with them.   We were a contender last year and had a couple good runs early, but gremlins kept surfacing and taking us out of races”, Newlin commented.

 

“I probably won’t get to race the Grove with the 410 this year, so this gives me a chance to race there.  I love the challenge of Williams Grove.  If you win there, you’ve earned it.   Plus, seat time is seat time.  You can never get enough laps and experience“, the Millerstown, PA native shared.

 

‘Zach Daddy’ fans should be sure to like and follow his new Facebook page, Zach Newlin Racing (Facebook.com/ZachNewlinRacing).  With his son, Caleb, entering his second year of karting and beginning to develop his own following, Zach has established this new Facebook page for his racing endeavors, leaving the Newlin Racing page for fans to keep up with Caleb’s racing adventures.  You can also follow @ZachDaddyRacing on Twitter for updates, plus A2DPR.com will have all the stories and results to keep you up to date on Zach’s season at the wheel of both cars.  

 

UP NEXT

 

If the weather cooperates, Zach Newlin’s 2022 debut will happen Sunday, March 6th at Port Royal Speedway.  Stay tuned to social media for updates.

 

As for Newlin’s 358 sprint car season, that is slated to kick off Friday, April 8th at Williams Grove Speedway.

Devin Hart Compiles Career Year

/1 Comment/in , /by

2021 Success May Be Just the Beginning for the Up and Coming Talent

Port Royal, PA – December 29, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

Devin Hart and KHK Motorsports certainly amassed impressive statistics during the 2021 season.  The stats tell quite a story, but not the whole story.

 

There were some personal accomplishments that will make Hart, his family, and his team smile for a long, long time to come.  Before we get to those stories though, let’s take a quick look at the stats.

 

The Stats

 
In 2021, the KHK Motorsports team entered competition 32 times at 10 tracks in 3 states in their FK Rod Ends / Hungry Run Wine Cellars / JDS Racing / Barron’s Racing Engines / Penske Racing Shocks / Rocket Chassis XR1 No.33K.  They were victorious in 10 of those events, equating to an impressive win percentage of 31%.  

 

A closer look is even more impressive and backs up the use of the phrase ‘career year’.  Hart recorded 22 top 5’s (69%) and 27 top 10’s (84%) in those 32 outings.  In 13 starts at Port Royal Speedway, the 3rd generation racer from Port Royal, PA finished on the podium 9 times, including 4 wins and 4 second place runs. 

 

He was no ‘one track wonder’ either.  At Selinsgrove Speedway, Hart entered 7 events, never finishing worse than 8th and accumulating 3 wins and 5 podium finishes in the process.

 

Need more evidence?  The KHK Motorsports team also won at Bedford Speedway (PA) and Hagerstown Speedway (MD).  The latter included 2 wins and a 4th-place finish in his only 3 starts south of the Mason-Dixon line.

 

The Highs

 

The 2021 season started off strong for Devin Hart and the KHK Motorsports team.  They didn’t just win early; they were winning in convincing fashion from outside the top 5 starting spots.  There were wins from 6th and 10th at Port Royal Speedway in late March and early April, then a win from 9th at Hagerstown Speedway, followed by another win from 6th at Bedford Speedway just a couple weeks later.

 

The Hagerstown win was a career first at the Maryland facility for Hart, a track where he had been close in the past but had generally struggled.   “Mom, Bill (Weimer) and I were here in this victory lane 42 years ago with my dad, so that was pretty special“, Heidi Kauffman, Hart’s mother, shared about that night.

 

Four wins by the end of April, especially quality wins like those, will put a smile on the faces of any race team, but Hart’s team had no idea the best was yet to come.

 

The next chapter to unfold came on May 15th when Hart broke through for his first career win at Selinsgrove Speedway, another place where he had come close but never been able to close the deal before.  He would go on to back it up with a 2nd place finish the following week, plus two more wins in June at the 75 year old half mile.

 

Friday night, May 21st brought Devin Hart and the KHK Motorsports team to Port Royal Speedway for the Billy Vacek / Huey Wilcoxon Memorial race for the World of Outlaw Super Late Models and the Limited Late Models.  This was an event Hart had circled on his calendar at the start of the season.  On a personal level, this one mattered.  It mattered a lot.

 

Hart and the late Billy Vacek were friends, but it was more than that.  A few years back, their race shops were only a few miles apart.  The pair got to know each other when Devin would stop in to talk or help Billy any way he could around the shop.  As the 2018 season was getting started, Hart acquired a newer car and did some testing to shake it down.  The very next day Vacek sent a text asking how the new car was.  He even offered to stop at Hart’s shop and help him get familiar with the new equipment.  From that day on, Billy was never more than a text or a call away when Devin had a question.  Vacek even went to the track with the team about once a month, sharing his knowledge to help the talented young wheelman.  The bond continued to grow throughout the 2018 season and into the 2019 season.  Early in the 2019 season Billy had the opportunity to move to North Carolina to help Brandon Overton, so he headed south to pursue his dreams.  He continued to teach Devin from afar until his untimely passing in an unfortunate accident that summer.

 

So here Hart was, just a few weeks shy of the two year anniversary of losing Billy, strapping in for his memorial event, and wanting nothing more than to make his mentor proud.  I think you can say without a doubt he did just that.  Hart not only won the 25-lap feature event; he dominated.  He never relinquished the top spot, leading from wire-to-wire in an incredibly emotional win for himself, the entire family, and team.  There wasn’t a dry eye in victory lane.

 

Billy’s mom was on hand to congratulate Devin, present the trophy, and pose for photos with the ecstatic team.  The moment meant so much to everyone involved and it came to mean even more less than two months later when Billy’s mother sadly passed away after a battle with cancer.  Hart went on to back up the win with yet another trip to victory lane at Port Royal Speedway the following Saturday night.

 

The Lows

 

The season wasn’t all glory and checkered flags though.  Maintaining the level of performance Hart and his team had achieved is not easy over a long, seven month season.  When the weather heated up, Hart cooled down.  The team went through a stretch in July and into early August when nothing seemed to go their way.  There were mechanical failures, wrecks, and subpar finishes.

 

The sign of a great team though is how they respond to those times.  The entire crew kept putting in the effort and in mid-August, the team returned to victory lane, capturing the ‘W’ at Hagerstown Speedway in special fashion.  Hart battled throughout the race with cousin, and Tyson Hill Race Shop mate, Trent Brenneman and ultimately edged him to complete a memorable 1-2 family finish.  It was a night that would have made the boys’ grandfather and Port Royal Speedway legend, the late Butch Renninger, proud.

 

Devin's grandfather, the late Butch Renninger

Speaking of his grandfather.  As successful as Devin Hart has been, not only during his stellar 2021 season but ever since he moved into the Limited Late Model division in 2014, one very meaningful race has eluded him:  The Butch Renninger Memorial.  The event in honor of his grandfather is arguably the race Hart would most like to win.  He recorded a solid 4th place finish in this year’s 18th Annual edition of the event, but that wasn’t what Hart was after.  Next year’s event is already circled on the calendar.

 

Measuring Up

 

The team decided to venture to Portsmouth Raceway Park (PRP) in Portsmouth, OH for the Dirt Track World Championships in mid-October.  It would be their first time turning laps at the well-known 3/8th-mile, high-banked oval in southern Ohio, and it would give the team a chance to measure themselves against many of the best in the country.

 

The 2-day event showcases the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Limited Late Models.  Friday’s on-track activity was rained out, taking away hot laps and time trial sessions.  With no opportunity to acclimate to the new surface, Hart was forced to dive into the ‘deep end of the pool’ so to speak on Saturday.  He certainly didn’t sink in that deep end.  He registered the 10th quickest lap of the 59 entries that went under the clock, putting himself in a solid position to make the show, something only 24 of the 59 teams would accomplish.  

 

Following a 3rd place finish in his heat race, Hart started 16th in the feature at PRP.  He proceeded to work his way into the top 10.  With seven laps remaining, while running in 8th position, a mechanical failure forced Hart out of the event.  Regardless of the official finish, the KHK Motorsports team had shown they belong in the conversation about the best Limited Late Model teams in the country.

 

When the dust had all settled on the 2021 season, Hart and his KHK Motorsports team had garnered a few more cherries on top of it all.  They won two track championships (Port Royal Speedway and Selinsgrove Speedway), plus were recognized on DirtOnDirt’s ‘Best Of 2021’ list.

 

“The thing that stands out in my mind about our season is winning two track championships.  That’s pretty cool.  It’s a tough thing to accomplish“, Hart shared as he reflected on his season.

 

What’s Next

 

“The things we accomplished in 2021 year may change things a little for 2022, I think.  We don’t have to be locked into points racing.  These days you really can’t go into a season with a strict plan.  Schedules change; parts can be hard to get.  You have to manage your resources accordingly.  We are constantly reevaluating our schedule throughout the season to do what makes sense“, Hart explained.

 

The upcoming 2022 season schedule will likely look similar to recent seasons for KHK Motorsports, including some travel, but who knows where it may lead them.  One thing is for sure.  They will look to improve on their achievements of the past year.  That may sound like a tall order, but this wheelman and his team have shown they have what it takes.

 

“Yeah, I guess it was a career year…so far anyway“, Hart said with a grin that clearly indicated he’s not done yet.  He’s got more to add to an already impressive resume.

Austin Berry Wins Most Improved Driver Award

/1 Comment/in , /by

Team Completes Successful Trip to PRI Trade Show

Mifflin, PA – December 13, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

Feature Photo Credit:  Brian Rhoad / WRT SpeedWerx

Port Royal Speedway in Port Royal, PA recently announced their 2021 season award recipients.  Among them was Austin Berry who won the Super Late Model Division’s Most Improved Driver Award.  Not only was Berry appreciative of and humbled by the award, to him it validated the team’s determined efforts over the past few seasons.  It’s hard to argue with that, especially when you consider it was the second time in three years the 26 year old wheelman had been recognized with the same award. 

 

“It’s very rewarding to receive this award, especially a second time, because it’s not something they are basing off of statistics.  This is awarded by speedway staff, voting based on what they observed throughout the season“, Berry commented when asked about the award during an interview at the Performance Racing Industry trade show in Indianapolis, IN last week.

 

2021 Recap

 

Berry, aboard the Locust Hill Custom Butcher Shop / Berry’s Siding & Seamless Gutter / Addicted2DirtPR.com / Nathan Berry Beef Farm, A&C Racing Engines / JDS Racing / Swift Springs / Penske Racing Shocks / Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic / VP Racing Fuels / Rocket Chassis XR1 No.86 logged a season that continued the team’s recent trend.  Their performance demonstrated the improved consistency that has resulted from efforts to steadily build the program the right way.

 

Austin Berry competed in 14 events at ‘The Speed Palace’, where he captured his first career super late model victory in June and qualified for his first ever Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series main event in August.  

 

The June triumph at Port Royal was a thrilling, drama-filled feature event that saw Berry survive multiple restarts and fend off attacks from Trever Feathers and Colton Flinner to capture the emotional victory.  On that night, nearly everyone in the stands was a fan of the blue and yellow #86.  It was a long time coming and it seemed to be appreciated by those who were lucky enough to witness it.

 

Speaking about his Lucas Oil Series achievement, Berry said, “The Lucas show for me was very humbling, because ever since we started racing super late models, time-trials have not been my strong suit.  To time 2nd only to Jonathan (Davenport) was very special to me.“

 

The team also made the decision to travel just a little bit more regionally, believing the only way to get better was to challenge themselves by racing a variety of speedways.  The team made stops at five other regional tracks:  Selinsgrove Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway, Hagerstown Speedway, Path Valley Speedway and Bedford Speedway.  As the season progressed and the team showed more consistency and competitiveness, the approach seemed to be proving itself. 

 

 

 

2022 Plans

 

Fans can expect a similar schedule for Berry and his team in 2022.  Home base will still be Port Royal Speedway and they still want to travel regionally to expand their knowledge, while hitting some of the more lucrative events at the same time.

 

Berry was asked how he will follow up on his 2021 victory and what his goals are for 2022.

 

“Winning multiple races in a season is tough around here.  Sure, we want to do that, but for me it’s not about the number of wins, it’s about quality wins.  We’ve won a $3,000 weekly show, so now I’d like to win a $5,000-to-win show.  If you do that, it typically means you’ve won a special show or a touring series race, and that would mean we beat the best.  That’s a quality win and you know you’ve really accomplished something“, Berry explained.

 

Performance Racing Industry Trade Show

 

Last week, several members of ABR made the trek west to Indianapolis, IN for the annual 3-day PRI Show.  The event is so large, the product displays and educational seminars consume all available space in both the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts.

 

Teams descend on Indianapolis for the event each year to see the latest technology and newest products, while maintaining existing partnerships and developing new ones as well.

 

“Our number one priority at PRI is to thank our current partners and the people who provide the products we use.  We thank them for their support and for everything they’ve done for us.  Our number two priority is to explore the new products that might make us better and hopefully we develop some new relationships and new partners along the way.  I think we accomplished all those goals this year’s trip”, Berry shared as he prepared to travel back to PA after the show.

 

Berry and his team will spend the next two months rebuilding their car to be ready to start the new season.  That new season is a mere 83 days away as of this writing.  Port Royal Speedway opens Sunday, March 6th.

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.

Zach Newlin Displays 2022 Potential at BAPS Motor Speedway

/1 Comment/in , /by

Clocks Near Top of the Charts; Learning Continues

Millerstown, PA – November 15, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

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.

Zach Newlin Makes First Career World of Outlaws A-Main

Pryde Motorsports Selects Zach Daddy as 2022 Wheelman

Millerstown, PA – October 12, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

As a race car driver, Zach Newlin has had many years of success at various levels, but when his 2021 410 sprint car season opened in Pennsylvania, something wasn’t working.  Newlin and the team he started the season with were not gelling.  It happens in racing.  A lot of combinations just don’t work.  A few do.

 

The Millerstown, PA native was fired from that ride and turned his focus back to 358 sprint cars, wondering if he would get another shot at the top level.  That chapter left Newlin in a bad place mentally, his confidence shaken.

 

Fortunately, the next chapter of his story requires no sugar coating. 

 

Friday 10/8:  38 cars, Qualifying 19th in flight 1, Heat 8th, B-main 5th

 

Having recently joined forces, Zach Newlin and the Pryde Motorsports team only had four races under their belt coming into the 2-day World of Outlaws event at Port Royal Speedway.  Those races had only resulted in a single A-main appearance.  That one appearance did result in the Hard Charger Award at Port Royal’s Labor Day Classic, but the new pairing knew it would take time to learn to work together to reach their potential.

 

A high quality field of 38 teams were on hand Friday night at ‘The Speed Palace’ for The Nittany Showdown preliminary night action.  The World of Outlaws format split the field into two flights of 19 cars for time trials, which would set the lineups for four 8-lap heat races.

 

Newlin was the 18th driver to hit the track for qualifying.  He turned in a disappointing lap that left him last in his flight.  It would be a tough road the rest of the night.

 

The Pryde Motorsports team hurried to make changes before rolling out to their 10th starting spot for heat number one.  The top five finishers advanced to the A-main, while the remainder of the field, including Newlin who came home in 8th, were relegated to the B-main for a final shot at making the main event.

 

Newlin, a Millerstown, PA native, took the green for the 12-lap B-main from the 9th position and immediately went to work.  The top four finishers would transfer to claim the final four starting spots in the $10,000 to win, 25-lap A-main.  

 

It was clear the team and Newlin were both applying what they were learning as the night went on because the 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, Strange Oval No.29 was on the move.  

 

Zach methodically worked his way through the field and appeared poised to accomplish the unthinkable.  Making a World of Outlaws A-main after qualifying last in your flight is nearly impossible and certainly uncommon.  Newlin came up one spot short, finishing 5th.  Had there been a late race caution to tighten up the field, it appeared quite possible he would have pulled it off.

 

The night ended one step short of the goal, but the team loaded up with smiles on their faces after making great strides during the show.  They would be in a much better position going into Saturday night’s finale.

 

Saturday 10/9:  38 cars, Qualifying 7th in flight 2, Heat 4th, A-main 27th 

 

Saturday night rolled around and once again 38 teams signed in to compete.  The Nittany Showdown finale offered $15,000 to the victor.  The format would be the same as the prior night.  For the second consecutive night, Zach Newlin would take to the track for his laps under the clock late in his flight.  This time he fired the engine to go out 16th in flight two.  

 

The night would not be the same in every way though.  Newlin powered his way around the big, fairgrounds half-mile in 15.626 seconds, claiming the 7th quickest lap in his flight, a mere 0.113 behind Donny Schatz and 0.120 behind Anthony Macri.

 

The solid qualifying effort handed Newlin the 4th starting spot in the third heat race.  Once again, the top five finishers would transfer to the A-main.  Zach would just need to hang on to one of those spots.  He did better than that.  He got steadily quicker as the race went on, looking like a veteran wheeling the high line.  Newlin pulled away from veterans Wayne Johnson and Danny Dietrich, besting Johnson by 1.1 seconds at the checkers and putting himself in his first career World of Outlaws A-main.

 

The performance caught the attention of the Dirtvision team, the group who broadcasts all Outlaw races live.  They selected Zach Daddy to be interviewed on the front stretch following the accomplishment.  As reporter Chase Raudman asked him how he felt about what he had just done, Newlin let out a celebratory shout that could be heard anywhere on the Juniata County Fairgrounds, and maybe beyond.  In an instant, the weight of everything that had happened earlier in 2021 was gone.

 

“Oh man, this is awesome!  I still don’t even have 20 races under my belt in a 410” an ecstatic Newlin told Raudman.  “We started the year out rough, got fired from one ride, then Allen called me up for this car.  One door closes and a really good one opens up.  I’m so grateful.“

 

Newlin earned the 14th starting spot in the 30-lap A-main.  At the drop of the green, he took to the high side in turn one.  In heavy traffic another car slid up across directly in front of Newlin’s No.29, taking the air off the nose of the car.  For a split second, the front end got light and Newlin was unable to steer away from the wall.  He slapped the wall with the right side of the car, then managed to get off the wall and continue on.  He lost several positions during the ordeal but tried to soldier on.  It wasn’t to be thought because the W-link had broken on contact and left his machine limping, forcing him pit-side after six laps, officially placing him 27th in the final rundown.

 

“My mind wasn’t in a good place from the stuff I dealt with in the beginning of the year, but I feel good now.  I’m excited as hell” a happy Newlin shared.  “I want to thank Allen (Pryde) and all the partners who help make this possible for us.  We couldn’t do this without Del Grosso Foods, Gio’s BBQ, Grove Financial & Associates, Dillman Hauling, Ron’s RV Sales, FK Shocks, Strange Oval Torsion Bars, and Newlin Bar Service.  I also want to say a special thanks to Jeff Halligan and Kyle Defibaugh for coming out and helping this weekend.  Their help and tips were extremely valuable“, Newlin commented. 

 

Car owner Allen Pryde expressed his thanks to all the team’s supporters via a Facebook post and offered a peek at the team’s 2022 plans with Newlin.  “Looking forward to a great season next year.  Our plans are to be at Port Royal each week“, Pryde posted.

 

Zach Newlin and Pryde Motorsports rolling into Port Royal together in that open trailer next season is sure to be a story to watch.  When they win a race, I have a feeling a microphone won’t be necessary for the folks in the town of Port Royal to hear the excitement when Newlin climbs from the car.  

 

Up Next

Two races remain on the 2021 schedule for Zach Newlin and Pryde Motorsports.  They will head to BAPS Motor Speedway for Saturday afternoon shows on October 23rd and November 13th to continue building their notebook for the 2022 season.

Newlin Tackles First Tuscarora 50 Event in Pryde Motorsports Ride

/in , /by

New Pairing Continues to Dial In Right Combination

Millerstown, PA – September 14, 2021

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

 )

When a new sprint car team takes shape in the late season in Central Pennsylvania, there is no easy path to getting laps and learning to work together to dial in the car for the new pilot.  They will face a lot of tough competition in what amounts to PA’s own version of the “month of money”.

 

Zach Newlin’s phone rang only weeks ago.  While there were still quite a few races remaining on the 2021 schedule in the area, most of them at this time of year are shows that include touring groups and large car counts.  That didn’t deter this new pairing from their agenda. 

 

Friday 9/10:  55 cars, Qualifying 7th in group, Heat 8th, C-main 13th

 

Newlin was one of a stout field of 55 to enter All Star Circuit of Champions competition at Port Royal Speedway for The Night Before the 50.  A qualifying lap of 16.399 placed him 7th quickest of the 11 drivers in group A.  

 

The Millerstown, PA native started 7th and held a firm grasp on the spot in the first heat race for the first six laps, but was challenged by Tyler Reeser as the 8-lap heat drew to a close.  The top four finishers would move on to the A-main, while 5-7 would go to the B-main and 8-11 to the C-main.  Newlin ultimately finished 8th, costing him a spot in the B-main.

 

The 10-lap C-main started off well for Newlin.  From his 4th starting spot, he surged forward on the opening lap, claiming the 3rd position.  Only the top two finishers would move on to the B-main, so Zach would need to lasso one more spot to advance.  

 

The red lights flashed on and All Star officials called the red flag over the one way radios as the field as about to complete lap one.  Unfortunately, as Newlin slowed near the start/finish line, Danny Dietrich did not.  He collided with the right rear of Newlin’s No.29.  The impact damaged the headers and destroyed the tire, top wing, nerf bar and W-link, ending the night for the Pryde Motorsports team.  They were officially credited with a 13th place finish. 

 

Saturday 9/11:  57 cars, Qualifying 21st, Heat 7th, C-main 3rd, Non-Qualifiers Race 

 

A little elbow grease and sweat late Friday night and Saturday afternoon had the Del Grosso, Gio’s BBQ, Robert Lee Jr. Trucking, R&B Auto Proz, Quality Masonry, Grove Financial & Associates, Dillman Hauling, Ron’s RV Sales No.29 ready for action again.  The team returned to Port Royal Speedway Saturday night for the 54th Annual Tuscarora 50.

 

The hefty purse offering $54,000 to win and $1,500 to start drew 57 teams to the Juniata County half-mile oval for the early September tradition that leverages its own unique format.  

 

The field was divided into two flights for qualifying.  Within each flight, the field would then be divided into three heat races based on lap times.  A 4-car invert meant the fastest car in each heat started 4th, while the 4th fastest qualifier started on the pole.  The remainder of the field lined up by qualifying time behind those four.  Only the top three finishers would advance to the A-main, while 4th-6th would move to the B-main and everyone from 7th back would go to the C-main.

 

Zach Newlin registered the 21st fastest lap of 29 cars in Flight A, which placed him 7th in the starting lineup for the third heat.  Once again, Newlin got a strong start and grabbed the 6th position away from Hunter Schuerenberg.  A couple laps later, the No.55 of Schuerenberg battled back and reclaimed the spot.  Newlin worked hard to run down the All Star regular for the final spot in the B-main but was unsuccessful and finished 7th.

 

The C-main resulted in yet another case of one spot short.  After starting 5th officially, Newlin took the green in 4th when the polesitter couldn’t make the call.  It took three attempts to get the race started.  When it did finally get rolling, Zach was able to take 3rd over Lucas Wolfe and pull away by a few car lengths.  Newlin went on to finish 3rd, just missing the transfer to the B-main.

 

The night wasn’t quite over for Newlin.  Port Royal Speedway runs a non-qualifiers race at the end of the program, including a nice payout, to give those teams a chance to make something for their efforts.  Zach lined up 8th for the 20-lap event and held the 7th position until the halfway point.  He slipped a couple spots late in the race and eventually finished 9th. 

 

The weekend results won’t grab any headlines for Newlin, but there were small victories and several positives to carry forward.  He and the team were there to learn and to build, and they accomplished that.  

 

“I want to thank Allen for the opportunity to run his equipment.  Hopefully we can keep building on what we’ve started here.  I also need to thank all my partners who help make this possible for me.  I couldn’t do this without Grove Financial & Associates, Dillman Hauling, Ron’s RV Sales, my family and a lot of other people“, Newlin commented. 

 

Up Next

Zach Newlin and Pryde Motorsports have not determined what’s next on their schedule, but the pairing does plan to race together more in 2021.
