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.

Tony Jackson Set To Make the Jump From Super Sportsman to 410 Sprint Car Competition in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Carlisle, PA – June 30, 2023

Tony Jackson, with the support of car-owner Scott Hess and Hess Motorsports, is proud to announce that he’ll be making the transition from Super Sportsman competition to 410 Sprint Car racing in 2024. This decision marks a significant step forward in his career and sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in his already impressive journey.

“We’ve been kicking it around now for a little bit and we just decided that now is the right time to make the move,” said Jackson. “I know it’s going to be a challenge, but I’m really looking forward to what’s ahead of us and seeing what we can do.”

The current plan is to tentatively run around 40 races next season, with a focus on special events at BAPS Motor Speedway, Williams Grove Speedway on Friday nights and Port Royal Speedway on Saturdays.

“We’ll start with places I’m comfortable at and just try and gain as much experience as possible,” said Jackson. “We’ve got a few possible cards on the table that could open things up a lot more next season, but right now this is the plan.”

“We’ve talked about possibly going out to Western PA a little bit as well, but really we’re just going into things with an open mind and we’ll see where it takes us,” he added.

With an impressive track record in the Super Sportsman series, Jackson has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent, determination, and an unwavering passion for the sport. Over the years, he has carved a name for himself as a formidable force, capturing the attention of fans, competitors, and sponsors alike.

Jackson teamed up with Hess a few years ago in the Sportsman division and the wins have come in bunches. No stranger to the Sprint Car game as a longtime crew chief, owner and sponsor, Hess believes Jackson has the talent capable of not only making the jump to 410 Sprint Car racing, but to compete and challenge for wins.

“We’re really excited about building this team and we’re excited to get going,” said Hess. “I really believe Tony has the ability to win races at the next level and we’re excited to give him the opportunity to make his dream a reality.”

The decision to transition to the intense and highly competitive world of 410 Sprint Car racing in Central Pennsylvania represents Jackson’s commitment to pushing his limits and pursuing excellence in the sport. The move is driven by a burning desire to challenge himself further, test his skills against the best in the business, and chase the ultimate glory of victory at the highest level.

He’s also looking forward to continuing his family’s legacy, as his father Larry Jackson was a force to be reckoned with for decades in the Sportsman and 410 Sprint Car ranks.

“As a kid growing up at Silver Springs and watching my dad be as successful as he was, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t dream of winning races and racing too,” said Jackson. “He’s a well-known name in this area and being able to represent that legacy against the best in the business is something I’m really proud of and don’t take lightly.”

The team will utilize Maxim Chassis and a combination of Rider and Godfrey Racing Engines. Sponsors include Truck Specialties, Machining America, McCoy Brothers, Interstate Garage Doors, Family Ford, Custom Cut Floorings, Hess Iron, Donnie Reeser, Ken Brown Racing, Piper Advertising, K&H Suspension, Dellinger’s Auto Body, and Chamberlin and Wingert Sanitary Services.

The team’s sponsors, whose support has been instrumental in making this transition possible, are equally thrilled about the upcoming season. Their continued commitment and investment in Jackson demonstrate their belief in his talent and the potential for success in the fiercely competitive world of Central PA 410 Sprint Car racing.

“It means so much to me that Scott, his wife Lori, and my sponsors have the confidence in me to make all this possible,” said Jackson. “None of these people must do this and the only reason they are is because they believe I can do it and do it well. We’re working hard to build this team the right way and I’m looking forward to representing them at the track next season.”

For media inquiries, sponsorship opportunities, or to schedule an interview, please contact Tony Jackson or Scott Hess.

Kyle Reinhardt came into Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek with a little bit of momentum from his Ohio Sprint Speedweek stint.  With ten races on the horizon at Pennsylvania tracks where he has significantly more laps than he does on the Ohio ovals, hopefully he could maintain that momentum and keep his solid 2023 season rolling.

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

Reinhardt Rolls to Solid Ohio Speedweek Weekend

Grueling 10-Race Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek Up Next

West Portsmouth, PA – June 20, 2023

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.

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.

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

/0 Comments/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.

Double Features a Night to Forget for Cappetta

/0 Comments/in , /by

Looking to Rebound Once Racing Action Resumes

Abbottstown, PA – June 14, 2023

by Emily Winslow / Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Cappetta and team faced a tough night at Lincoln that included two features. Ashley and the team are looking to regroup and return to the track stronger in July.

  • Date:  June 10, 2023
  • Event:  Elijah Hawkins Memorial
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  6/3 Make-up Feature: 15th [13]; 6/10 Feature: 34 cars, Heat 6th [4], A-main 23th [23] 

 

Steve Smith Make-up Feature Starts Off Night

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 the Steve Smith Tribute Race make-up feature and the Elijah Hawkins Memorial.  

Cappetta lined up thirteenth for the start of the Steve Smith Tribute make-up feature, which was her best starting spot of the season. With the recent dry spell, Cappetta went into the night thinking the track would suit her driving style, a dry slick track is when she thrives. The track ended up not being in her wheelhouse, “I wasn’t comfortable at all. If there hadn’t been a caution I probably could have held on to 12th, but I got tight in turns 3 and 4 after the caution and got pushed up to the fence. That allowed cars to get under me and I ended up 15th.” With her hopes set on a top 10, the make-up feature results already had Cappetta and the team behind the eight ball to start off the night. 

Cappetta Fights Car and Track Throughout the Night

For the first time of the season, Cappetta had a decent pill draw to start off a show. A crew member drew the 32 pill which was a positive on a night of not so positive results. Ashley started the heat fourth and had a good initial start, “I lost a handle in turns 3 and 4 but had good entry into turn 1.” Cappetta spun out in her heat race and would cross the line sixth, one spot shy of a transfer spot. 

The team changed gears for the B-main, “I still was not comfortable with the car but we ended up third.” The reason for the gear changes was wheel spin, “I had a lot of wheel spin through turns 3 and 4 and to the flag stand.” Cappetta’s third place finish in the B-main lined her up 23rd for the Elijah Hawkins Memorial feature. The team changed the gears again for the feature, “The gear change for the feature slowed the car down too much. We just weren’t any good.” Cappetta finished the feature where she started, 23rd.

Team Looks to Come Back Stronger

“It’s not easy to throw a night like this in the trash. We want to know what it was that went wrong.” The team opted to use the old tire compound as Saturday was the final night, they could run them at Lincoln this season and that decision could have been a factor in how their night went. Another culprit could have been a shock, so the team planned to test the shocks back at the shop. A torsion bar could also have played a part in how tough it was to handle the car. In the end the team found that a torsion bar had gone bad after looking over the car at the shop on Monday. 

With some extended time off before the next race on Cappetta’s schedule, the team may head to BAPS to test the car before the next race. Ashley and the team will look to continue their march forward when they return to the track, “I felt like the weeks leading up to Saturday we had been moving in the right direction.”

Partner Spotlight

The Republican Club of Hanover was launched by Lawrence B. Sheppard. In principle, it served as a gathering place on the second floor of the Old Bon Ton building on the square. It was located at 10 and 12 Carlisle Street, or above what is currently the pet shop. The original liquor license was purchased on October 30, 1935. Through socials and feeds, Republicans met to bond, connect, and develop relationships with each other. Members enjoyed activities such as bowling, pool, and poker. Many years later property was purchased and the facility was moved to its current location at 255 West Chestnut Street in 1968.

Halligan Dominates, Finds Victory Lane at Port Royal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Open Wheel Madness Up Next Saturday at Port Royal

Port Royal, PA – June 12, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit:  Derick Kriner Photography

Jeff Halligan has been to victory lane at Port Royal Speedway at least once each season since 2020 but so far this year it had eluded him.

His best finish at ‘The Speed Palace’ in 2023 was 3rd back on May 6th and last week was his worst finish (20th) when his night ended with a hard crash after being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Halligan and the Risser Motorsports team have been working hard to get back to victory lane and Saturday night they flexed their muscle a little.

 

  • Date:  June 10, 2023
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  27 cars, Heat 3rd (6), A-main 1st (6)

 

Making the Cut

Halligan and the Risser Motorsports, TheTreeCenter.com, Victory Auto of Lewistown, EMM Sales & Service, Jake’s Golf Carts, Pine Hill Trailers, Keystone Ag Spraying No.45 were among the field of 27 teams signed in at Port Royal Speedway Saturday night, June 10th.  Three heats would each transfer the top six finishers to the main event but only the top three would be handicapped to the front of the starting lineup for the finale.

From his starting spot on the outside of row three in his heat race, Halligan went to the cushion in turns one and two to drive into 4th, then used the momentum to dive low in turn three to take 3rd.  He would go on to finish there and make the cut for a handicap spot.

Making a Statement

Just like earlier in the night, Halligan rolled to the green from the outside of row three.  This time it would be 25 laps and $5,000 to the winner.

Once again Halligan got off to a quick start, this time using the middle to move into 4th on the opening lap, then 3rd on lap two.

On lap three Halligan dove under Michael Walter in turn three and slid up into the runner-up spot.  He then began his pursuit of leader Lucas Wolfe.

Halligan entered turn one higher on lap five and cut low off turn two.  The diamond move produced a big run, which the Ephrata, PA native used to drive under Wolfe entering turn three and take the top spot.

Halligan quickly put several car lengths between himself and Wolfe.  He reached lapped traffic on lap nine but navigated it smoothly and continued to build his lead.  At the halfway mark, he held a straightaway advantage.

The first caution of the event appeared with six laps remaining.  On the ensuing restart, Halligan used the middle and low side of the speedway to put five car lengths between himself and Wolfe by the time the pair reached the middle of the backstretch.   He continued his torrid pace and won the race going away.

“I told (crew chief) Kyle (Defibaugh) that was the easiest win I’ve ever had in any division I have raced.  That car was a dream to drive.“, Halligan said in victory lane.

“The track was a lot like Weikert weekend.  We were really close then, so went off that.  We nailed it this time; we were good in dirty air; we were good everywhere“.

Halligan’s No.45 certainly was on point Saturday night.  When the caution appeared with six laps remaining, he had a 5.3 second lead and when racing resumed, he amassed a 4 second advantage over the final six circuits.

“This is a brand new HP engine.  First night out for it.  We decided to break it out and get it ready for Speedweek.  It’s a different car than last week too.  That one was junk.  We are running Panther Chassis and Shawn is here tonight, so it’s cool to have him here for a win.”, Halligan continued.

“We weren’t very good earlier tonight but Kyle and the team went to work on it and they had it perfect.  I wasn’t worried at all on the restart.  The car was so good I just thought, let’s finish this off.“, Halligan shared.

“I want to thank Brent and Debbie Risser, Jake’s Carts and Victory Auto for starters.  We could not do this without them.  Thanks to TheTreeCenter.com, EMM Sales and Service, Panther Frameworx, Pine Hill Trailers, Keystone Ag Spraying, RV 4-Wheel Drive, Newlin Bar Service, Jim Haller’s Maple Syrup, Alloy Wheel Repair and all our partners.  Zach (Newlin) and Jim (Haller) are here tonight too, so it’s great to win with so many of these folks in attendance.  Thanks to my crew.  This is on them.  This is their win.“

 

Up Next

Halligan and the Risser Motorsports team be back at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday, June 17th for the speedway’s Open Wheel Madness show that includes the USAC Sprint Car and USAC Silver Crown divisions.

Keen Scores Runner Up Finish at Lincoln in Unplanned Visit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Date With URC at Selinsgrove Next on the Calendar

Abbottstown, PA – June 11, 2023

Kyle Keen is over two months into his 2023 season but only has five races on the ledger thus far 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.

Those five races have produced very up and down results, combined with glimpses of high potential.  Keen’s greatest desire right now is to get into a rhythm, something the weather and mechanical issues have prevented so far this season.  Seat time is the only way to keep getting better.

  • Date:  June 10, 2023
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  34 cars, Heat 3rd (3), A-main 2nd (1)

 

Learning Moment

Lineups for the four heat races for the 34 cars on hand at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night were set by pill draw.  The top five finishers would transfer to the A-main but only the top three would be handicapped to the front of the starting lineup for the finale.

Keen started 3rd in his 10-lap heat race and worked his way into the runner-up spot on lap three.  He held that spot, trying to run down the leader for the next seven laps.  On the final circuit the Carlisle, PA native slipped one spot to finish 3rd.

“With a lap to go I tried blocking the bottom line and I got out-experienced by a veteran racer. Definitely a good learning moment for me.“, Keen said.

Fortunately, the lost position didn’t hurt Keen, as he still claimed a handicap spot.

 

A Complete Night

Keen started on the pole for the 20-lap main event but front row mate Kyle Spence led the opening lap.

Keen chased Spence the entire distance but with the track taking rubber, it was tough to get close, let alone make a move.  He kept a firm grip on 2nd through the checkered flag.

“Tough for me to swallow being so close. I messed up the start and got out-experienced again on the initial green and was never able to get close enough to the leader to attempt to get it back.  While I’m not satisfied with second, I’m happy to be in contention for a win.  It also feels good to put a whole night together and bring home a career best for me in my second year in a 358 (sprint car).“, Keen said.

“Thank you to my crew, family, wife, sponsors and anyone who supports my program.  I’m hungry for that first win and we are working hard to do so.  Special thanks to my dad, Brint, Dakota Kuhn and Jordan Givler for a late evening Thursday dropping the motor back in so we could be here to race.”

 

Up Next

Kyle Keen will compete with the URC at Selinsgrove Speedway on Sunday, June 18th when the 360 sprint cars join the Appalachian Mountain Late Model Speedweek program. 

“Hopefully we can click off a couple full nights like that in a row and get into that rhythm we have been looking for.”, Keen commented.

 

Season Stats

6 races, 0 wins, 1 top 5’s, 3 top 10’s, 4 top 15’s

 

Trivia Question

The answer to the last trivia question is Kyle Keen played football and basketball in high school!

Now, on to this week’s question.  Where did Kyle Keen go to college?

The answer in the next press release!

Rain Puts a Halt on Racing at Lincoln

Double Features Up Next

Abbottstown, PA – June 7, 2023

Rain shortened the night at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, making this coming Saturday a double feature event for Cappetta and the 358 sprint cars.

  • Date:  June 3, 2023
  • Event:  Steve Smith Tribute Race
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Heat 5th [8], A-main TBD [13]

 

Cappetta Put Together a Solid Night Before the Rain Fell

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.

Cappetta passed the pill draw responsibility on to her dad this weekend, but it did not change the team’s luck as he drew the 46 pill. The draw put Ashley in the eighth starting spot for her heat race, “I felt pretty good in the heat race and actually passed two cars at once. I started to get a little uncomfortable towards the end but still pulled off a fifth place finish.” Cappetta fell back to ninth on the initial start after getting pelted with mud, but gathered herself back up and went to work. After passing two cars at once, Cappetta passed a single car and then with another car breaking, Ashley crossed the line fifth. Her heat race finish had her lined up for her best starting spot of the year but unfortunately the rain came, ending the night early. Saturday night’s feature will be made up this weekend, making it a double feature event for Cappetta and the 358 sprint cars.

Cappetta Working Hard on Weldon Sterner Race Promotion

The 20th Weldon Sterner Tribute Race is scheduled for October 13th, the season finale at Lincoln. Cappetta is hard at work helping to make the race the biggest it’s ever been, “We have a lot of things planned to make the race special for the fans and the racers.” Ashley’s Dad knew Pat Sterner and asked her about sponsoring Ashley when she first started racing, “Pat became one of my first sponsors. The fact that she was willing to give me money to pursue my racing dream meant a lot to me.”

The Weldon Sterner race has always been a highlight on Lincoln’s schedule and with Cappetta’s drive to give back to people and her relationship with Pat it was a no brainer for her to step up. The goal is to raise $20,000 for the winner of the 410 feature but Cappetta is also working on raising more money for the 358 sprint division as well.

Double Features Up Next

Cappetta originally had Williams Grove on her schedule for this coming Friday, but with scheduling conflicts for her crew that race has been removed. Cappetta will be racing on Saturday night at Lincoln for the Elijah Hawkins Memorial which will consist of the make-up feature from June 3 and a full program for the 358 sprint cars.

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

Kyle Reinhardt Puts Capitol and Coors in Victory Lane

Preparations Underway To Race With the All Stars During Ohio Speedweek

York Haven, PA – June 4, 2023

It is in the books.  The first win of Kyle Reinhardt’s 2023 season and his rebuilding era has been recorded.

Reinhardt parked the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Coors Banquet Beer, Henry’s Wrecker Service No.91 in victory lane at BAPS Motor Speedway in impressive fashion.

Is the rebuilding process complete.  No.  There’s still plenty of work to be done, but Thursday night served as a good indicator Reinhardt is on the right track.

  • Date:  June 1, 2023
  • Event:  Greg Hodnett Foundation Race
  • Track:  BAPS Motor Speedway
  • City, State:   York Haven, PA
  • Quick Stats:  18 cars, Qualifying 4th in Group 1, Heat 1st (1), A-main 1st (2)

 

Setting the Stage

Group time trials were used to set the lineups for two heat races for the 18-car field for Thursday night’s Greg Hodnett Foundation race at BAPS Motor Speedway.

Reinhardt timed 4th quickest in Group 1, putting him on the pole for his heat race by way of the invert.  He took command from the drop of the green flag and never looked back, claiming the win and a spot in the redraw.

 

Getting It Done

Reinhardt drew the number two pill to get a front row starting spot for the 30-lap finale.  Again, the Neptune City, NJ native took command from the start but there was no point in the race where the competition allowed him to get comfortable out front.

Early on Dylan Norris pursued Reinhardt and challenged him as the leader caught lapped traffic.  He managed to get alongside a time or two but Reinhardt kept him at bay.  At the halfway point, Jeff Halligan moved into the runner-up spot and began to pressure Reinhardt.  

The race had yet to have a caution, keeping the leaders dicing through lapped traffic.  Halligan managed to pull a slider and get out front briefly but Reinhardt turned back under the No.45 and held the lead at the line.

The first caution of the race appeared with twenty-nine laps complete and one remaining.  On the restart, with clear track in front of him, Reinhardt pulled away by a few car lengths and took the victory.

“We needed that!  “, a very happy Reinhardt said.  “It’s really cool to get a win for Coors.“

“We had to battle back there a couple times in lapped traffic but I did what I needed to do to stay up front“.

“I really have to thank my guys for their hard work and Wayne Quackenbush from Capitol Renegade Custom Coaches and Trailers.  We finally won one with him at the track.  Of course a big thanks to Coors Banquet and Henry’s Wrecker Service too.  They have all been very good to me and I could not do this without their support.“, Reinhardt commented.

“I also want to thank my brother, David.  He puts a lot of effort in.“

 

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the 2023 season.

Kyle can be contacted via [email protected].

Up Next

Reinhardt and his team will take some time off, then return on June 15th when they join the last three nights of the All Star sanctioned Ohio Sprint Speedweek.

Reinhardt will compete at Atomic Speedway (6/15), Eldora Speedway (6/16) and Portsmouth Raceway Park (6/17).  The final two races of the annual summer series pay $10,000 and $22,554 to win respectively.

Season Stats

20 races, 1 wins, 5 top 5’s, 12 top 10’s, 14 top 15’s

 

Trivia Question

The answer to last week’s question is… Kyle’s dog is named Murphy!

Now, on to this week’s question.  What is the cocktail Kyle enjoys making for himself?
