Ashley and the Cappetta Racing Team put together a solid night that ended with a top 10 finish for the first time this season at the Barry Skelly Memorial.

  • Date:  August 19, 2023
  • Event:  Barry Skelly Memorial
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  25 cars, Heat 4th [6], A-main 8th [8]

 

Cappetta Finishes Eighth; Best Finish of the Season

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 at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday for the Barry Skelly Memorial.

Cappetta’s night started with a pill draw of 43 which usually would not be a great way to kick things off, but the number 43 holds a special place in Ashley’s heart, and she did not allow herself to be defeated as the number 43 kept appearing to her and her crew throughout the night. Cappetta lined up sixth for her heat race and drove her way up to fourth putting her in a redraw spot. Ashley drew the 8 for the start of the 25-lap Summer Series feature. Cappetta got up to fifth early in the race, “The track in the beginning was good and then I felt like I just protected my position for the second half of the race.” After running fifth for a few laps, Cappetta got passed and sent back to sixth where she would run until a caution on lap 16, the cautions hurt us.” Ashley would finish where she started in eighth, for her first top 10 and best finish of the season.

New Tires Continue to Challenge Cappetta

Despite a solid finish, the new Hoosier tires continue to throw a curve ball at Cappetta and the team, “The tires faded, and I wasn’t as comfortable at the end of the race.” In addition to the tires at the end of the race, Cappetta has been fighting a shoulder injury, “Those extra five laps hurt because of my shoulder, but I’m happy to be able to finish where we did.” Ashley said that the new tires aren’t as noticeable in the shorter heat races, but when it comes to the feature, there is definitely a difference, “We need to figure out the extra adjustments to make me comfortable through the entire night and feature.” Each week the team is learning something new when it comes to the tires. It is worth noting that this tire change came just as teams were finally getting comfortable with the new wing.

Cappetta Plugging Away at Weldon Sterner Memorial

Things are starting to fall into place for the Weldon Sterner Memorial at Lincoln Speedway on October 14 and Ashley has been hard at work behind the scenes. Sponsors are still rolling in and Ashley and Pat Sterner are still looking for a few more partners to put together the vision they have for the 20th anniversary of the race, “We have some exciting things planned for the fans and the racers that we can’t wait to share.”

Reinhardt Debuts in Grove Racing 45 With Pair of All Star Top Tens

/0 Comments/in , /by

Michigan All Star Double On Tap This Weekend

Selinsgrove, PA – August 23, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

For the second time in the past month, opportunity knocked for Kyle Reinhardt.  In July it was a chance to run the Indy Race Parts No.71 in the High Limit Series race at Grandview Speedway, this time it was an offer to drive the Grove Racing No.45, recently vacated by Tim Shaffer, for the remainder of the All Star Circuit of Champions 2023 schedule.

Fans will still see Reinhardt behind the wheel of his familiar Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 a handful of times this year when the All Stars are not racing, but for now it was time to seize the opportunity and rejoin the traveling series he had logged many miles and races with in 2021 and 2022 when he toured full time with the series.

  • Date:  August 18, 2023
  • Info:  Grove Racing No.45 / All Star Circuit of Champions
  • Track:  Outlaw Speedway
  • City, State:   Dundee, NY
  • Quick Stats:  25 cars, Qualifying 10th, Heat 5th (3), A-main 8th (13)

  • Date:  August 20, 2023
  • Info:  Grove Racing No.45 / All Star Circuit of Champions
  • Track:  Selinsgrove Speedway
  • City, State:   Selinsgrove, PA
  • Quick Stats:  24 cars, Qualifying 8th, Heat 2nd (2), Dash 5th (3), A-main 10th (5)

New York Debut

Reinhardt strapped into the Grove Racing No.45 for the first time Friday night August 18th at Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY with the All Star Circuit of Champions.

Right out of the gate Reinhardt clicked off the 10th quickest lap overall in qualifying.  The start of the heat race didn’t go his way, costing him some track position but he was able to gather it up, find his rhythm, and bring home a 5th place finish.

The 35-lap A-main was a different story for Reinhardt.  He was able to move forward early and broke into the top ten by lap eight.  He continued to put up consistent laps on the slick surface to close in on the front of the pack.

On lap sixteen Reinhardt took possession of the 9th spot, then moved into 8th six laps later.  He held on to the spot to the checkered flag to complete a solid first night in the car.

 

Back Home in Pennsylvania

Sunday night the All Stars and the Grove Racing team rolled into familiar Pennsylvania territory for Reinhardt, Selinsgrove Speedway.  The big, fast half-mile track is a place where Reinhardt has a lot of laps and a lot of success, including numerous wins in both 360 and 410 sprint car competition, as well as track championships in both divisions.

Reinhardt looked strong again to start the night, turning in the 8th quickest lap in qualifying, backed up by a runner-up finish in his heat race and a 5th place run in the Dash.

Reinhardt took the green for the 30-lap A-main from the inside of row three and settled into the 6th position in the early going.  He held that spot until just before the halfway mark and despite being off a bit in the late going, still brought home a top ten finish.

“I think we got off on the right foot in the 45 car with two top tens. Definitely looking forward to working with Bryan and his guys moving forward.“, Reinhardt commented.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Kyle can be contacted via [email protected].

Up Next

Reinhardt and the Grove Racing No.45 team will travel to Michigan for two All Star Circuit of Champions races on August 25th and 26th.  The series rolls into Tri-City Motor Speedway in Auburn, MI on Friday night and moves to Butler Speedway in Quincy, MI the following night.

The Neptune City, NJ native will hustle back to Pennsylvania to be ready to compete in the Capitol Renegade Clash at BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday night in the Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 .

Austin Berry Suffers Issues Late at Port Royal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Preparing to Take On Lucas Oil Late Model Tour This Weekend

Port Royal, PA – August 22, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Austin Berry has been in the top ten at three other racetracks since his last finish there at Port Royal Speedway.  It’s been a frustrating stretch.  He has logged a podium finish at Clinton County, a 9th at Selinsgrove and a 10th at Hagerstown since his 5th place run at The Speed Palace in early June.

On the bright side, it hasn’t been a result of major issues.  Berry will tell you they just haven’t been very good.  He and the team have been working hard to get the balance back in the car at the Juniata County, PA oval.  They had it earlier this season and they were moving forward each time they hit the track.  Now, they find themselves searching for the right combination.

  • Date:  August 5, 2023
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  32 cars, Qualifying 16th, Heat 4th (3), A-main 21st (16)

 

Average Start

Berry kicked off his night with a 16th place qualifying effort aboard The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg, Juniata Veterinary Clinic, Berry’s Siding & Seamless Gutter, SRI Performance / Stock Car Steel & Aluminum, VP Racing Fuels, JDS Racing, Locust Hill Custom Butcher Shop, Nathan Berry Beef Farm, Addicted2DirtPR.com, GO Lithium, Valvoline Pro-V Racing, Super Clean, Rocket Chassis, Austin Berry Racing No.86.

With four heat races slated for the 32-car field, every finishing position in the heat races would be worth four starting spots in the feature event.  From his 3rd place starting spot in the fourth heat race, Berry was unable to gain ground and ultimately slipped one spot to a 4th place finish, handing him the 16th starting spot in the main event.  It was a disappointing scenario for the Mifflin, PA driver, who has been working from behind in similar situations most of the season at Port Royal Speedway.

Track Position

The competition is so close these days in super late model competition that track position often makes or breaks your night.  There are a dozen cars or more in the starting lineup at Port Royal every week that can win the race if they are able to earn the right starting spot to give themselves a shot.  Had Berry been able to earn a runner-up finish in his heat, he would have likely started inside the top ten and had a much better chance at a top five finish.  From 16th, he would likely spend half the race working his way into the top ten, then wouldn’t have the tires left to gain more positions.

In the 25-lap A-main,  Berry was mired around 14th for a large part of the race, then climbed into the 13th spot and appeared to be building some forward momentum in for the final ten laps when an engine issue arose bringing an abrupt end to his run.

It has been a trying season for Berry, who didn’t have words for the latest setback he and his team will need to manage.

The event features a split field on Friday night with Twin 25-lap $5,000 to win features.  The finale Saturday night will pay the winner a hefty $50,000.  A large field is expected to be in attendance and making the main event on Saturday night will be challenging for any team.

Berry’s full schedule can be found at Addicted2DirtPR.com/events and at AustinBerryRacing.com under Schedule.

Peterson Fluid Systems – Oil & Fuel System Components

Since the founding of Peterson Fluid Systems in 1977, Peterson Fluid Systems has endeavored to produce quality parts that are innovative and dependable. In 1990, the company changed ownership and all that can be said is. . . WOW! A new thrust of enthusiasm and development has propelled Peterson Fluid Systems to the forefront of high-performance automotive parts manufacturers. We built on that enthusiasm and continued to refine our products while introducing exciting new parts. In 2006 we moved into a brand new building and expanded from 12,000 sq. ft. to 33,000 sq. ft. In this new space we are able to continue building our high quality products and develop new exciting products for the future. Peterson Fluid Systems has been transformed from a small company that out-sourced all machine work and fabrication to a company that produces 95% of its products in-house, using state of the art CNC machining, CAD CAM Designing and a full fabrication facility.


All of the employees at Peterson Fluid Systems are aware of the company commitment to quality. This quality must extend from our designs and products to our customer service. The management at Peterson Fluid Systems realizes that each customer has a choice of where to purchase components. We also realize that many companies produce parts similar to those produced by Peterson Fluid Systems. At Peterson, we know that to establish our customers’ confidence and trust in our parts, we must excel in customer service, as well as product design and production. We realize that if a customer asks for next day shipping service, he can expect it. We also know that we should notify him of any problems with delivery of his parts that will not meet with his needs. Being a company that is staffed by people who have raced, we know that service is of utmost importance. The Peterson difference consists of our unending commitment to “Quality Without Compromise”. Quality in product design and production. Quality in customer service and technical support. Quality in every aspect of our business.

Made in the USA

Peterson is committed to producing all of our products in our facility in the USA. It is not the cheapest option, but we feel it is the way to best control quality and also respond to feedback we get from racers about improvements we can make to help them succeed. We are very proud to say our products are made in the USA and believe the quality shows.

Quality Without Compromise

At Peterson Fluid Systems, a team of highly skilled people have been assembled to design, produce, deliver and service our products. After many hours of research and development, many new and innovative parts have been produced. Also, the re-design and improvement of existing products has resulted in a wide variety of leading edge components in oil and fuel system assemblies. Evidence of the Peterson quality is shown by the fact that Peterson parts have been on winning cars at the Indy 500, Daytona, Charlotte, Michigan, The Brickyard, Talladega, Watkins Glen, World 100, The Knoxville Nationals, The “Historical Big One” Sprint Car Race, and at many Short Tracks across the country. As you can see, Peterson parts are the choice of winners from NASCAR to IndyCar, The World of Outlaws, as well as winners in all other forms of racing.

You might ask, “Will Peterson parts make me win?” We do know that, due to Peterson’s commitment to quality, they probably won’t fail and make you lose.

Newlin Extends String of Top Ten Finishes to Five

/0 Comments/in , /by

Team Will Return to Williams Grove September 1st

Mechanicsburg, PA – August 22, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos Photography

In case you haven’t noticed, Zach Newlin has been a consistent contender this summer in 358 sprint car competition.

It started with a hard charger award in early May.  A few weeks later there was a podium finish.  That was followed by a 23rd to 6th drive at BAPS Motor Speedway.  In July, he reached victory lane at Williams Grove Speedway.

Now the calendar has turned to August and Newlin is still performing.  Friday night he scored two top ten finishes in two feature events, and he had to get his elbows up to get it done.

 

  • Date:  8/18/23
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • 8/4 Makeup Summer Series Feature:  A-main 8th (19)
  • Quick Stats:  30 cars, Heat 3rd (7), A-main 6th (9)

 

Let's Try This Again

Back on August 4th, Newlin had a rough qualifying night that saw him unable to dig out of an early hole that stemmed from an unlucky pill draw.  Before the feature could be run that night, the rain came.  Now, two weeks later, that feature rolled to the green to kick off the night at Williams Grove Speedway with the Millerstown, PA wheelman in the 19th starting spot.

When the green flag dropped on the 25-lap 358 Sprint Car Summer Series makeup feature, Newlin was ready to put the qualifying challenges of two weeks prior in the rear view mirror.

In the early going he reached 14th but was still mired there at the halfway point.  That’s when the Manchester Hydraulics, Marlow’s Metal Fabrication, Safety Kleen, Lee Chassis Repair & Components, Will’s Lawncare, Mansberger Motorsports No.21m came alive.

Newlin navigated his way to 12th on lap fourteen, then cracked the top ten on lap sixteen.  One lap later he climbed to 8th.  He held on to finish there, completing a solid recovery with a strong run.

 

Consistency Is Key

Thirty teams were on hand for the regular show Friday night at Williams Grove, which set heat lineups by the track’s handicapping system and the feature lineup was ‘heads up’ based on the heat race finishes.

Newlin started 7th in the third and final heat race of the evening.  He made quick work of the cars directly in front of him, racing into 5th on the opening lap.  He continued his push, claiming 4th on the following circuit and eventually 3rd on lap seven.  He pulled even with Justin Foster coming to the checkered flag but fell 0.030 seconds short of a runner-up finish.

The heat race charge provided Newlin with the 9th starting spot for the 20-lap A-main.  On the initial start he slipped back a couple spots but recovered within two trips around the legendary Mechanicsburg, PA half-mile. 

Once he found his rhythm, Newlin began to chip away toward the top five.  He took the 8th spot on lap three, then 7th the next time around.  A few laps later he moved into 6th and began his pursuit of Kody Hartlaub for a spot in the top five.

It never materialized and Newlin closed out the night with a 6th place finish.  The productive night brought his streak of top ten finishes to five, including a win in late July in the Manchester Hydraulics, Marlow’s Metal Fabrication, Safety Kleen, Lee Chassis Repair & Components, Will’s Lawncare, Mansberger Motorsports No.21m.

“We haven’t been out of the top ten anywhere we have gone with this car since May 5th, and that was an 11th place finish.“, Newlin said.  “We passed a lot of cars tonight.  We went forward every time we hit the track.  Almost had second in our heat from seventh.”

“It feels good to have Dan’s (Mansberger) car running the way it should be.  We struggled with odd issues and bad luck the last couple years, so it’s good to finally have things going our way and showing what we are capable of.  You have to be consistent and be there first, then the wins will come.  We have one so far and hopefully we can get a couple more before the season ends.“

 

Up Next

Zach and the Mansberger Motorsports team will return to Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, September 1st looking to continue their climb up the season point standings at the track.  Newlin currently sits 5th on that list.

 

Season Stats

8 races, 1 wins, 2 top 5’s, 5 top 10’s, 6 top 15’s

 

Trivia Question

The answer to our last trivia question is Zach won the Williams Grove Speedway 358 sprint car Rookie of the Year award in 2020!

Now, on to this week’s question!  Did you know Zach has won the Hard Charger Award two time at Port Royal Speedway’s 410 Sprint Car Labor Day Classic?  What years did he win that award?

The answer in the next press release!

Trever Feathers Notches Top Ten Finish To Cap Solid Outing

Since debuting his new Team Zero Bloomquist car in early July, Trever Feathers has shown the level of performance and overall consistency he expects of himself and his team.  Sure, there are still off nights, like when he struggled at Hagerstown last weekend, but that will always be part of racing.

Coming into Saturday night’s event at Port Royal Speedway, Feathers had recorded a win and a runner-up finish in two starts with the new car at the Pennsylvania fairgrounds half-mile.  He was looking to keep that streak of podium finishes going on Port Royal’s $5,000 to win Living Legends Dream Race night.

  • Date:  August 19, 2023
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  32 cars, Qualifying 13th, Heat 3rd (3), A-main 8th (11)

 

Keep the Momentum Going

Feathers put himself in good position by kicking off the night with the 13th quickest time trial lap despite going out 28th in the qualifying order.  Although he wasn’t able to advance in the heat race, he held his ground and brought home a 3rd place finish in the 8-lap qualifying race.

“We were off just a tick in the heat race but it was pretty much one preferred line through the middle, so I think we pretty much got what we could get in that one.“, Feathers commented.

The McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, Larry Royston’s Septic Services, Martins Pumping Service, Feathers & Sons Roofing, North River Farm, Leggett Engine Research, Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Team Zero Race Cars, Shane McDowell Racing, Coffelt Graphics, Larry Royston Properties, Larry Royston Equipment, Fox Racing Shox, Bo Feathers Racing, Clem’s Garage, No.20 lined up 11th for the 25-lap feature event.  After slipping a few spots on the initial start, Feathers found his rhythm and broke into the top ten on lap seven.

Feathers continued to grind and worked his way further inside the top ten, ultimately coming home with an 8th place finish when the checkers waived.

“We have some balance stuff to work on.  We have been a lot better lately with this Team Zero car but we aren’t quite where we need to be yet.  We’re close.  We’ll keep chipping away at it.“, Feathers said.

“We had a rough week last week at Hagerstown.  We broke a transmission, which broke the drive shaft and damaged the rear end, so we had a lot of work to do this past week to be ready for (Port Royal) tonight.  With all that, tonight wasn’t a bad run for us.“

 

Up Next

Feathers will return to Port Royal Speedway for this weekend’s 2-day Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series Rumble By the River.  Friday night August 25th the field will be split to compete in two $5,000 to win features and the following night all eyes will be on the team who can make the field for the $50,000 to win finale.

“It’s going to be a tough field here (at Port Royal) next weekend with the Lucas Oil guys in town.  We will give it our best and try to find a way into the big show Saturday night.  Hopefully things will go our way.“, Feathers added.

Hartlaub Nets First Career 410 Sprint Car Podium

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two Nights, Three Features On Tap This Weekend

Abbottstown, PA – August 15, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

What a difference a week makes.

The opening weekend of the month of August was a tough one for Kody Hartlaub.  Back on August 4th, after qualifying well at Williams Grove in his 358 sprint car, the feature was rained out.  The following night he took his 410 sprint car to Lincoln Speedway, and he struggled through the night both on and off the track, largely due to being ill.

Hartlaub quickly erased the memories of the previous weekend by netting his first career podium finish in a 410 sprint car this past Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway in Pennsylvania. 

  • Division:  358 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  August 4, 2023
  • Track:  Williams Grove Speedway
  • City, State:   Mechanicsburg, PA
  • Quick Stats:  23 cars, Heat 2nd (5), A-main PPD to 8/18

 

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  August 5, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  25 cars, Heat 8th (5), B-main 6th (5), A-main 18th (24)

 

  • Division:  410 Sprint Cars
  • Date:  August 12, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  23 cars, Heat 3rd (4), A-main 2nd (5)

 

Breaking New Ground

Back at full strength physically, Kody Hartlaub joined 22 other teams at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night to get a little more 410 sprint car seat time in the J Fuels, 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.

Hartlaub started outside row two in the 10-lap heat race and quickly moved into 3rd on the opening lap.  On the next circuit, he claimed the 2nd spot and looked to have it in hand until Freddie Rahmer tracked him down with two laps to go and relegated Hartlaub to a 3rd place finish.  The spot was still good enough to squeak into the handicapping for the feature lineup.

In the 30-lap A-main, Hartlaub appeared ready to make some headlines in central Pennsylvania racing news.  From his 5th starting spot he surged into 3rd by the completion of lap number one.  He held that through the first ten laps, then with his fastest lap of the race he moved into the runner-up spot.

Just past the halfway point, Hartlaub took command of the race by passing Kyle Spence for the top spot.  Meanwhile Freddie Rahmer was inching his way toward the front as well.

On lap nineteen, Rahmer wrestled the lead away.  Hartlaub held on for a strong 2nd place finish, his first career 410 sprint car podium finish.  An admirable accomplishment for the young man who has less than ten 410 sprint car starts until his belt.

“Hard to put into words what this means to me and my team.  From dreaming of someday getting to run a 410 sprint car to actually being able to do it, and to have the speed we had, I couldn’t have asked for anything more.“, Hartlaub commented.  “We led laps and learned a lot.“

“I have to thank everyone that made this possible, all the support from my friends and family, my wife, my crew, Pat Brewer, Austin Funk, Jim and Steve Siegel, and all my sponsors because without them we wouldn’t be here.“

Up Next

Kody will strap back into his 358 sprint car for the upcoming weekend.  He returns to Williams Grove Speedway Friday night, August 18th, for a makeup feature plus a full program.

The following night they will head to Lincoln Speedway for a Summer Series event.

Season Stats: 358 Division

14 races, 2 wins, 8 top 5’s, 12 top 10’s, 13 top 15’s

 

Season Stats: 410 Division

5 races, 0 wins, 1 top 5’s, 1 top 10’s, 3 top 15’s

 

Trivia Question

The answer to last week’s trivia question is Kody Hartlaub’s favorite band is Breaking Benjamin!  

Now, on to this week’s question.  How old was Kody when he got his first go-kart?

Did you know Kody has a website?  Hint.  You might want to visit KodyHartlaub.com!

The answer in the next press release!

Reinhardt’s Qualifying Struggles Tough to Overcome at Knoxville Nationals

/0 Comments/in , /by

All Star Seat in Grove Racing 45 Kicks Off This Weekend

Knoxville, IA – August 15, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Kyle Reinhardt has produced good speed and consistent finishes all season.  He hoped to carry that momentum into the 62nd Annual Knoxville Nationals.

The Nationals are a different animal though.  With over one hundred of the best drivers from the United States, Canada and Australia in competition for a big payday, there are no guarantees.  Every team works hard for every spot they earn, but they also need a little luck to align with their preparation.

Reinhardt reached the B-main in both 2021 and 2022, a respectable accomplishment on its own.  He was back in Iowa this summer looking to make his first career Nationals A-main.

  • Date:  August 9, 2023
  • Event:  Knoxville Nationals – Qualifying Night
  • Track:  Knoxville Raceway
  • City, State:   Knoxville, IA
  • Quick Stats:  52 cars, Qualifying 41st, Heat 8th (9), B-main 12th (17)

  • Date:  August 11, 2023
  • Event:  Knoxville Nationals – Hard Knox Night
  • Track:  Knoxville Raceway
  • City, State:   Knoxville, IA
  • Quick Stats:  78 cars, Qualifying 25th in Group B, Heat 4th (9), B-main 12th (16)

  • Date:  August 12, 2023
  • Event:  Knoxville Nationals – Championship Night
  • Track:  Knoxville Raceway
  • City, State:   Knoxville, IA
  • Quick Stats:  D-main DNS/20th (8th)

Qualifying Night

On his qualifying night Wednesday, the pill draw handed Reinhardt a late spot in the qualifying order, 38th of the 52 cars on hand.  The Neptune City, NJ native posted the 41st quickest time, missing the heat race in version by 0.085 seconds.

From his 9th starting spot in heat race number one, Reinhardt was only able to move forward to 8th during the 10-lap event.

Prior to the B-main, the Capitol Renegade, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service team made adjustments and it showed immediately when he hit the track for the 12-lap B-main.

Reinhardt advanced from 17th to 10th in just five laps.  Unfortunately, a few laps later, a shock broke on the No.91, and he finished 12th.

 

Hard Knox Night

The teams that were not already in a good position for Saturday’s finale were pit-side for Friday night’s Hard Knox Night to take another shot at locking into the Nationals A-main, or to at least improve their position on Saturday.  The large field of 78 cars was split into two groups for qualifying.

Reinhardt drew pill 93 of 100, putting him deep in Group 2 qualifying, the 71st car to hit the track overall.  It wasn’t the ideal way to start a night where he needed things to go his way to have a shot at making Saturday’s A-main.

Reinhardt and team didn’t hit the combination they needed.  He ended up 25th quickest in Group B time trials.  He was able to bounce back in his heat race though.  

Showing a lot of speed, Reinhardt went from 9th to 4th in the 10-lap race, but it wasn’t quite enough.  He missed the A-main transfer by one spot.  

Unfortunately, the heat race progress was all wiped away because officials set the B-main lineup using each competitor’s original qualifying time.

In that 12-lap B-main, Reinhardt advanced from 16th to 12th, bringing an end to his night.

Ultimately it ended up being the end of the Nationals week for Reinhardt.

“Overall, we just did not time trial well and that was just the entire week. We worked hard to get out of the hole, but the format just doesn’t allow you to do that. You can’t chip away and get out. We almost did it on Friday but came up one spot short and basically got completely reset. Saturday we just decided to cut our losses and pack it up.“, Reinhardt commented.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Up Next - New Adventures

Reinhardt will kick off his new opportunity in the Grove Racing No.45 with two All Star Circuit of Champions races on August 18th and 20th.  

The series rolls into Outlaw Speedway in Dundee, NY on Friday night and then wraps up the weekend with a Sunday night appearance at Selinsgrove Speedway in Selinsgrove, PA.

Following those dates, Reinhardt will run the remainder of the All Star Circuit of Champions 2023 schedule with the Grove Racing team.  Fans will also see Kyle in his familiar Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 as he currently plans to fill some additional dates on his calendar with that car.

Feathers Gets Back to Victory Lane at Port Royal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rewarding Win Validation Virginia Team’s Long Hours Are Paying Off

Port Royal, PA – August 8, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Jeremy Zarfos Photography

The struggles date back to the 2022 season for Trever Feathers.  He and his team managed to log a couple wins over the course of the season, but finding a consistent balance and steady performance was difficult.

In search of that, Feathers and his team have made a lot of changes to their equipment and various aspects of their program over the past year.  Lately there have been signs of a return to past form.

Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway, Feathers made it clear the team is a factor again.

  • Date:  August 5, 2023
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Qualifying 4th in Group 1, Heat 2nd (1), A-main 1st (3)

 

Setting the Stage

Saturday’s show at Port Royal Speedway got off to a reasonable start for Feathers.  There were 29 cars on hand, split into three groups for qualifying and heat races.  Trever qualified 4th in Group 1.  

An inversion put Feathers on the pole of the first heat race of the night.  After an early battle for the lead saw the Winchester, VA driver lead lap two, he rode home in 2nd to put himself firmly in a handicap spot.

The Finale

Feathers lined up 3rd for the 25-lap feature event in the McFarland Custom Painting & Wall Coverings, Larry Royston’s Septic Services, Martins Pumping Service, Feathers & Sons Roofing, North River Farm, Leggett Engine Research, Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Team Zero Race Cars, Shane McDowell Racing, Coffelt Graphics, Larry Royston Properties, Larry Royston Equipment, Fox Racing Shox, Bo Feathers Racing, Clem’s Garage, No.20.

The opening laps were closely contested among the top four, with Feathers hovering between 3rd and 4th over the first eight laps. 

After battling Ross Robinson and Jim Bernheisel for several laps, Feathers finally took clear possession of 3rd on lap eleven, and one lap later made his move into the runner-up spot.

With ten laps remaining, Feathers caught leader Bryan Bernheisel.  Meanwhile, Gregg Satterlee was also charging toward the front of the field and was hot on the heels of the No.20.

Feathers used the low side of the speedway during much of the main event, but was able to move to the middle and high side when he needed to in order to navigate traffic.  On lap sixteen he took command of the top spot and kept up a quick and aggressive pace through traffic to keep Satterlee at bay.

Feathers recorded his first win of 2023 by a 0.915 margin of victory.

“It’s been a while.“, a smiling Feathers said as he climbed out of his No.20 in victory lane.  “This car has been unbelievable.  We were good here last time too.  I can’t thank Shane McDowell and all the guys down in Tennessee enough.  This Team Zero car has been so good, so thanks to him and Sarah as well as Scott Bloomquist.“

“These American Racer tires have been so good.  I want to thank Dustin over there for everything he does for us.  These tires really hold up, which saves us money.  That’s really important to be able to sustain our program.“, Feathers continued.

“Thank you to my mom, my dad and my grandfather.  Thank you to my uncle Jimmy who has been a huge supporter of mine since the beginning with McFarland’s Custom Painting.  Larry and Lisa Royston do so much for me with our other car.“

Feathers went on to allude to some things happening for the team in the next couple weeks that he feels will make the team even better, especially early in the night.

“Shout out to Coffelt Graphics who always keeps our cars looking great.  Thanks to Roger at Fox Shox.  Their shocks were sweet tonight.  The horsepower Rick Leggett gives us runs so good I don’t even have to watch the gauges.  And of course, I need to thank my guys too.“, Feathers concluded.

Upcoming Schedule Revised To Get Prepared for Upcoming Big Shows

Port Royal, PA – August 8, 2023

Austin Berry has made some notable achievements this season as he continues to build his super late model program.  There was a runner-up finish at Selinsgrove Speedway, a podium finish at Clinton County Speedway in his first race there, and a personal best finish at Hagerstown Speedway among others.

The thing that stands out most is that he has struggled more at the place he has the most career laps, Port Royal Speedway.  His average finish after his first seven races at his home track in 2023 is 12.3.  It’s not what Berry expected from himself and his team given their steady performance improvements in recent seasons.

With only a handful of races remaining at ‘The Speed Palace’ this season for the super late models, which includes a few of the most lucrative events of the season, Berry is looking to turn things around and end the season on a high note.

  • Date:  August 5, 2023
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Qualifying 9th in Group 2, Heat 6th (9), A-main 14th (17)

 

Trying to Break the Pattern

Berry was among 29 teams signed in for action at Port Royal Speedway Saturday night where time trials within each heat race group would set the lineups for those 8-lap contests.

The Tire Mart Tire Pros of Harrisburg, Juniata Veterinary Clinic, Berry’s Siding & Seamless Gutter, SRI Performance / Stock Car Steel & Aluminum, VP Racing Fuels, JDS Racing, Locust Hill Custom Butcher Shop, Nathan Berry Beef Farm, Addicted2DirtPR.com, GO Lithium, Valvoline Pro-V Racing, Super Clean, Rocket Chassis, Austin Berry Racing No.86 has had troubles qualifying well recently, putting the team in a hole to dig out of later in the night.

Unfortunately, Saturday was more of the same.  Berry qualified 9th in Group 2 and had to start deep in the heat race lineup.  With only the top six finishers transferring to the A-main, he had his work cut out for him.

Berry was able to put on an early charge and reach 6th to make the transfer.  He would need more of the same in the feature to complete the turnaround of his night.

After taking the green in 17th for the 25-lap main event, Berry was able to make forward progress.  He reached 14th by lap three but the progress stalled there.

“More of the same unfortunately.”, a frustrated Berry said.  “We just weren’t very good in time trials, then when we tightened up for the heat race, we were pretty decent.  For a while here we had really good balance in the car and we could adjust from that.  Lately we seem to have lost that sweet spot.  We’re trying to get back to that.“

“In the early part of the feature we had a pretty good car but something changed.  I’m not sure what but the handling went away pretty suddenly with about ten laps remaining.“

The team later found a spark plug had failed and their right rear tire had a small hole in it.  One or both could have added up to the sudden changes Berry felt.

Up Next

Berry said the team has decided to take the coming weekend off to go over their equipment and work on some changes to get the balance back that he is looking for.

The team will head to BAPS Motor Speedway Wednesday night August 16th for a test session, then will return to Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, August 19th for their final opportunity to dial in the Rocket XR1 for the upcoming Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model Series events.

Berry’s full schedule can be found at Addicted2DirtPR.com/events and at AustinBerryRacing.com under Schedule.
