Reinhardt’s Determined Charge Puts Team in the Show vs. Outlaws

Team Striving To Make the Most of Limited Opportunities in the Early Part of the Season

Kyle Reinhardt’s determined heat race charge put his team in the show when opportunity knocked versus the World of Outlaws at Lincoln Speedway Saturday Night.

Reinhardt had been looking forward to tackling the tough, two-race weekend in Pennsylvania against the World of Outlaws last week.  With only two races under his team’s belt thus far in 2023, they needed more track time to continue rebuilding their program.  Plus, the weekend provided an opportunity to compete for a good payout and get laps on the new Hoosier tire.

Friday night’s event at Williams Grove Speedway fell victim to the rain, leaving Reinhardt with only one opportunity to add to his notebook last weekend.

 

  • Date:  3/18/23
  • Event:  World of Outlaws Spring Showdown
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown, PA
  • Quick Stats:  49 cars, Qualifying 19th in Group B, Heat 5th (10), A-main 25th (17)

 

Adjusting to Change

The new Hoosier tires are a big change for all teams this season.  Saturday night at Lincoln Speedway everyone was starting from scratch.  Even those teams with thick notebooks from years of experience were on a level playing field, so to speak.

The night didn’t get off on the right foot for Reinhardt, who qualified 19th in Group B.  With a high quality field of 49 cars on hand, the rest of the night looked like it would be an uphill climb for the Neptune City, NJ native.

The heat race would need to tell a better story if Reinhardt was to have a shot at completing that climb.  Getting to a top five transfer spot would be tough, but every pass he could make would improve his chances to transfer through the B-main.

Reinhardt started moving forward from the drop of the green in the 8-lap heat race, but his progress stalled in the 7th spot until a late-race caution provided opportunity.  Restarting 6th, he was able to build up enough momentum to slip past Austin Bishop in the final turn.

The move put Reinhardt in the 5th and final transfer spot.  Uphill climb complete.  He was in the show. 

“I didn’t time-trial well.  We just didn’t have the car right.  The car was pretty good in (turns) three and four, but I didn’t have any grip off turn two.  That’s where the guys who timed up front were better.  We are a little behind.  We will need some laps to learn how this new tire behaves.“, Reinhardt shared.

“I made a lot of changes for the heat race, and it paid off.  The car was a lot better.  We moved forward, which is tough here in a short race.  I got the break I needed when Gio (Scelzi) brought out the caution.  It gave me the restart I needed to get a shot at the final transfer spot.“

 

Learning and Building

In the A-main, Reinhardt initially moved forward a few spots from his 18th starting position.  The Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Henry’s Wrecker No.91 appeared poised to make another solid run, just as it had done in the heat race.

A caution flag about ten laps into the 35-lap race took away Reinhardt’s momentum.  On the ensuing restart, he got shuffled back a few spots.  

Reinhardt wasn’t able to regain the track position.  The car wasn’t quite the same after that and he slid back to a 25th place finish.

“We didn’t change enough for the feature.  We will need to get used to this new tire and how it reacts over the course of longer races.  We struggled with balance.“, Reinhardt commented.

“A lot of guys went home tonight and didn’t get to race, so I’m happy that we were able to make the race.  I think the positives we took away from tonight and the knowledge we gathered are something we can build off of for sure.“

 

Up Next

Reinhardt said the team will be selective about when and where it races over the next few weeks while tracks allow a period of time for teams to transition from the old Hoosier tires to the new ones.  Most tracks are allowing a four race ‘burn-off period’.  Some Pennsylvania tracks will reach that by the end of March, while others will stretch into April due to weather cancellations early in the season.

“We don’t have many of the old tires left and I can’t justify spending money for older tires for a couple races, so we will just pick our spots until we don’t have that variable in the equation anymore.“, Reinhardt said. 

“We’ve said from the start this year that we will need to be smart with our resources while we rebuild our program.  This is just a part of that.“

Reinhardt and the Capitol Renegade team will be in attendance Sunday, March 26th at BAPS Motor Speedway for March Sprint Madness!  Racing begins at 4pm.

Kyle Reinhardt Kicked Off His 2023 Season in Pennsylvania

Two-Race Weekend Begins the Rebuilding Process

Port Royal, PA – March 9, 2023

Kyle Reinhardt kicked off his 2023 season with a two-race weekend at Lincoln Speedway and Port Royal Speedway.  It was the first opportunity of the year for the new team to work together at the track and to find out if they could build on the baseline they had established with the same equipment at the end of last season.

  • Date:  3/4/23
  • Event:  Modified Madness
  • Track:  Lincoln Speedway
  • City, State:   Abbottstown PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Heat 8th (10), B-main 5th (5), A-main 16th (23)

 

  • Date:  3/5/23
  • Event:  Opening Day
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Heat 5th (7), A-main 13th (15)

 

Lincoln Recap

Lincoln Speedway’s Saturday afternoon race, their final scheduled daytime show of the season, saw 29 teams sign in for action.  The lineups for three 10-lap heat races were set by a random draw.  The top six finishers from each would transfer to the A-main, with the remainder of the field moving to the B-main for a final shot to make the show.

Reinhardt’s day got off to a less than desirable start with a high draw that placed him 10th in the starting lineup for his heat race.  An 8th place finish wasn’t quite enough to put him in the show, but he later advanced through the B-main.

Reinhardt started 23rd in the 30-lap A-main and was able to make some forward progress during the race, recording a 16th place finish at the end of the day.

“We were a lot better at the end of the day.  We were just buried too deep in traffic to do a lot with what we had.”, Reinhardt commented.

 

Port Royal Recap

The lid-lifter for the 2023 season at ‘The Speed Palace’ drew 29 sprint car teams to chase the newly announced $5,000 winner’s share for weekly shows.  The format lined up three 10-lap heat races by pill draw, with the top six finishers from each transferring directly to the feature event.  Only the top three would make the invert redraw.

For the second day in a row, Reinhardt’s draw wasn’t a friendly one.  He lined up 7th in his heat race and battled his way to 5th on the tricky daytime surface.  He was in the show, but once again would start deep in the field.

Reinhardt rolled to the green for the 25-lap A-main from his starting spot inside row eight.  Forward progress was minimal for the Neptune City, NJ native Sunday afternoon, and he ultimately crossed the line with a 13th place finish.

“Overall, it was just good to shake the rust off.  I had a few new guys helping, so we needed this weekend to start learning to work together at the track and to get everyone working in the same direction.“, Reinhardt said.

“Our results weren’t the best but starting in row 4 and 5 in the heats doesn’t help. We need to get better at passing cars in the heats to set us up better for feature time at draw shows.“

 

Up Next

With this weekend’s World of Outlaw action in Pennsylvania scrapped due to weather, next up for Reinhardt and the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Henry’s Wrecker No.91 will be battles against the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway on Friday and Saturday, March 17th and 18th.

Halligan Convincing Out of the Gate; Brings Home Top 5

/0 Comments/in , /by

Team Preparing for Early Season Outlaw Invasion of Pennsylvania

Port Royal, PA – March 8, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit: Jeremy Zarfos Photography

Jeff Halligan was convincing, to say the least, right out of the gate at Port Royal Speedway on Sunday, driving around and away from pole-sitter Dylan Cisney.  He held that advantage until he could nearly smell the checkered flag, then things got complicated.

 

  • Date:  3/5/23
  • Event:  Opening Day
  • Track:  Port Royal Speedway
  • City, State:   Port Royal, PA
  • Quick Stats:  29 cars, Heat 3rd (4), A-main 5th (2)

 

Early Action

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 rolled into Port Royal Speedway Sunday afternoon to kick off another season at a track where they have had success in recent years.  The team captured two victories and finished third in the championship point standings in 2022.

With 29 teams signed in for action on the sunny Central Pennsylvania day, the format called for three 10-lap heat races.  The top six from each would transfer directly to the feature event, but only the top three would be included in the invert redraw.

Halligan started outside the second row in heat race number two.  It took a couple laps to get rolling but the Ephrata, PA driver then powered his way into 3rd and went to work for more.  A late caution looked like it would give Halligan an opportunity to claim another spot, but it wasn’t to be.  He finished 3rd at the line.

 

The Day's Finale

The invert redraw, which flips either the top 3, 6, 9 or 12 in the starting lineup, worked to Halligan’s advantage.  The invert put him outside the front row, alongside Dylan Cisney to start the 25-lap, $5,000 to win A-main.

Halligan wasted no time taking advantage of the high side of the speedway with his well-handling race car.  He drove into turn one practically ‘door to door’ with Cisney but powered around the top and drove off turn two with the advantage.

Twice in the first half of the race cautions appeared to work in Halligan’s favor.  As he stretched his lead and closed on lapped traffic, the caution lights flashed on, resetting the field and giving Halligan a clear track.

In the later stages of the race, Halligan finally did reach lapped traffic.  He held his own, making timely moves and keeping second place Parker Price-Miller at bay by a few car lengths.  With six laps to go, Price-Miller finally pulled alongside Halligan’s No.45 but he couldn’t get by.

With three laps remaining and the top five getting tighter as the leaders navigated traffic, things changed.  A split-second decision took away Halligan’s momentum and the lead slipped away.  By the time Halligan got back the momentum he had lost, he had slipped a few more spots and he crossed the line in 5th. 

“I should’ve won.“, a straight to the point Halligan said after the race.

“That was definitely a learning moment for me.  I will move on and get better from it, but it’s still tough to lose one that way.“

Recapping the series of events, Halligan zeroed in on the moment when he entered turn one and chose to go low to avoid a string of lapped cars that were occupying the high line, right where he had been ‘making hay’ all day.  

“Go where they aren’t” seemed to be the right thing to do.  Halligan quickly realized it was the wrong choice.  He exited turn two with the lead momentarily, but he had lost momentum and Price-Miller shot by.  Meanwhile, Dylan Cisney closed on the pair and sailed high into turn three as the top two dove to the bottom.  The move left Halligan in third with two laps remaining.

Just over a lap earlier, Halligan dove low into turn three to take away the momentum Parker Price-Miller was building up.  He, and many in attendance, thought that was the move that sealed the win at the time.

“The car was really good.  That’s what I’ll take away from today.  That and I will get up on the wheel a little more next time probably.“, a still smiling Halligan said.

 

Season Plans

Halligan’s 2023 schedule will resemble last year.  The team’s home will be Port Royal Speedway and their primary goal will be chasing wins and a possible points championship at the fairgrounds half-mile known as ‘The Speed Palace’.

In addition, the team will hit a mix of bigger events in the Central Pennsylvania region.  Most of those dates will be determined week by week, closer to the race dates.  Stay tuned to Halligan’s social media accounts, as well as Addicted2DirtPR.com/Events for the most up to date schedule information.

 

Up Next

Halligan and the Risser Motorsports team will return to Port Royal Speedway to take on the World of Outlaws on Friday, March 10th at 7pm and Saturday, March 11th at 4pm.  Both nights offer a tidy $10,000 to the winner.

 

Season Stats

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

 

Trivia Question

In what year did Jeff Halligan win the Central PA 358 Sprint Championship?

Reinhardt Will Focus On Making the Most of His Resources

/0 Comments/in , /by

After Finishing 2022 With Momentum, the Team Is Aiming To Pick up Where They Left Off

New Oxford, PA – March 3, 2023

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Mgmt

Photo Credit – unknown

From the seats in the grandstand, it may appear like business as usual for Kyle Reinhardt when he kicks off his 2023 season with the familiar No.91 bearing the Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches logo on the side, but things will be a little different than the past couple seasons.

The loss of a key partner meant a lot of unplanned activity for Reinhardt during the offseason.  With fewer overall resources, he will focus on making the most of what he has by planning his schedule strategically as the 2023 season unfolds.

Keep Digging

Reinhardt is prepared to compete at a high level.  He has spent a lot of time preparing his equipment, but he has also spent a lot of time making calls and sending emails, looking for new partnerships to help build his program.

“I would like to race 100 nights this season, but right now our resources and funding won’t support that.  We have to make smart decisions about when and where it make sense for us to race to give us the best chance to make money.  That’s the honest answer.“, Reinhardt shared.

“I am working hard to find partnerships that will allow us to expand our schedule.  We have a program that can represent and promote a business to really increase their visibility.  Working together can be a win-win for both our team and the right business.  We will keep working and eventually find that partner.“

 

Performance

Reinhardt made changes to his program late in the 2022 season after struggling most of the year.  Those adjustments led to the most consistent and best performances of the season.

Reinhardt believes the team can pick up where it left off despite everything else that has happened.

“We will start the year on the same car and shock package we were running at the end of 2022.  We were running well on that combination, so we will have that to build on.“, Reinhardt shared.

“We aren’t far from where we need to be.  I have got three good engines in the stable and two complete cars, plus one extra Maxim chassis.  We are just looking for that additional help to put us to the next level.“

 

The Plans

Reinhardt will kick off his 2023 campaign this weekend with stops at Lincoln Speedway (PA) on Saturday and Port Royal Speedway (PA) on Sunday in the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Henry’s Wrecker No.91.

This season provides a unique opportunity to compete at four World of Outlaws (WoO) sprint car races, dubbed the Spring Showdown, in Pennsylvania in the month of March.  Reinhardt plans to hit them all.

The traveling series will conduct a two-day show at Port Royal Speedway on March 10th-11th, followed by stops at Williams Grove Speedway and Lincoln Speedway on March 17th and 18th respectively.

Reinhardt also plans to enter competition at BAPS Motor Speedway on March 26th at the March Sprint Madness.

“We have a plan for the month of March, but we will have a very loose schedule this year.  We will reevaluate our plans every couple weeks and adjust our schedule as we go.  We have to do what makes the most sense for us each week.”

Along with a steady diet of Central Pennsylvania racing, Reinhardt plans to travel some for World of Outlaw, All Star and High Limit series events when possible.

Steady Support

Capitol Custom Trailers and Coaches has emblazoned the side of Reinhardt’s chariot for the past 6 seasons and they will remain a key partner in 2023.

“I can’t thank Wayne, Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches and Capitol Renegade enough for everything they do for me.  They sell the best products in their industry and their customer service is top notch.  We are out here working hard to represent them well.“, Reinhardt said.

Another steadfast partner has been Henry’s Wrecker Service, who has locations across Virginia and Maryland.  Henry’s has the largest fleet of light-duty and heavy-duty towing trucks in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland. They provide roadside assistance, parking management, large wrecker, and concierge services.

The Story Behind Kody Hartlaub’s New Number and New Adventures

/0 Comments/in , /by

Team Builds Depth On Heels of Very Productive and Consistent 2022 Season

East Berlin, PA – February 18, 2023

A team coming off a season as good as Kody Hartlaub Racing’s 2022 season typically wouldn’t change their program much, but the word ‘new’ is popping up a lot for the East Berlin, PA resident this offseason.

For example:  New shop.  New website.  New number.  New baby.

New Division?  More on that later.

 

Fatherhood

That’s right.  Kody Hartlaub recently became a father.  The proud dad and wife Audrey have a healthy, happy new daughter. Addison Anne, who was born on January 13, 2023.

“Fatherhood is nothing like I expected but everything I expected at the same time. It’s definitely a change of pace but I love it and can’t wait to get her to the races.”, Hartlaub shared.

New Digs!

Before the arrival of the family’s new addition, Hartlaub was busy guiding the construction of the team’s new race shop.

Hartlaub had been renting a shop with Alan Krimes for two years, but with Krimes buying a house and moving his stuff into his own shop, it was time for Hartlaub to do the same.

“I’m thankful for my parents for going ahead and building it and my sponsors Pat (Brewer Home Improvements) and Meradith (Herr Electric) for all the time and work they put in to help make the new shop possible.”, Hartlaub said.

New Number?

The most surprising new thing for most folks might be the number that adorns the wing of 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, Kody Hartlaub Racing machine.

In 2023 the 358ci sprint car will carry the number 95, and there’s a good reason for it.

Hartlaub’s number from his days in R/C, karting and up through the ranks was 95.  When he got an opportunity to step into the 358ci sprint car division, it was in a No.11, so he rolled with it.

After taking 2019 off from racing, Hartlaub came back under the wing (pun intended) of Jim and Steve Siegel. With all the help and knowledge they passed down, Hartlaub decided racing with the familiar Steve Siegel No.2 on his wing was one of the best ways to say “Thank you”. That remained the case through the 2022 season.

In 2023, Jim Sielgel’s son, Jude, will step into the 358ci sprint car ranks.  Hartlaub felt the right thing to do was give up the number so Jude could race it to keep up the family tradition.

With that, Hartlaub will return to his original No.95 where it all began.

 

A Look Back

2022 was a solid year for Hartlaub.   His stats are well-documented.  Hartlaub garnered a 2nd place finish in Lincoln Speedway’s Championship Point standings, earned the Williams Grove Speedway 358 sprint car Rookie of the Year award, finished 2nd in the 358 Summer Series points, and finished 5th in the season championship point standings at Williams Grove Speedway.

A great year, but the driven Hartlaub sees what’s missing:  wins and championships.  He will look to remedy that in 2023.

 

A Look Ahead

A goal of Hartlaub’s in 2022 was to improve the depth of his program.  You win championships by being prepared; never being sidelined.  

Those were the thoughts that drove Hartlaub and his team to compile depth in their parts last season, now in the off-season they have assembled two complete cars with motors, thus achieving the next goal in their building process.

“Our goals for the 358 for 2023 are to go each week and contend for wins. We won’t worry about points as much. That may mean in certain situations we take more calculated chances instead of points racing.”, Hartlaub shared.

 

Moving On Up!

While his will focus on his 358 schedule at Lincoln and Williams Grove, the big news is that Hartlaub will look to expand his 410 sprint car experience.  The team has acquired a 410 engine and plans to compete in a handful of races, maybe 5-10 events, on off weekends for the 358 division.

Hartlaub’s expectations are not lofty.  This will be about learning and building something the right way.

 

“My goal in the 410 is just to learn as much as possible at the select shows we choose to run.  My goal every time I hit the track will be to be better than the last time.“, Hartlaub said.

 

New Website

As if he didn’t have enough on his plate this off-season, Hartlaub also oversaw the project of developing a new website for his team.  KodyHartlaub.com is live and will serve as a great place for fans to follow his 2023 season and pick up their favorite merchandise!

Fans can also find Hartlaub on the social media outlets listed below.

All race results, press releases and other updates will be available all season long by following Addicted2DirtPR.com and their social media outlets listed below as well.

 

Thank You

“I want to express my sincere thanks to Jeremy Zarfos, not only for his terrific shots of our new car this year, but for all the photos he has provided in the past and for his ongoing support of our team.“, Hartlaub commented.

“I also want to say how thankful I am for Pat Brewer and Brewer Home Improvements.  Pat’s continued involvement and support is immensely appreciated.  I also want to thank MooseBlocks.com, SRR Engines, Smith Titanium, Siegel Racing and all our partners who have continued to support us.  Please patronize those businesses and thank them for supporting racing.  We are aiming to put them in victory lane in 2023.”

Brooke Tatnell to Join Sandvig Motorsports as Driver for 2023 Racing Season

/0 Comments/in , /by

Spencer, IA – December 25, 2022

by Justin Snyder, Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

Mike Sandvig Motorsports is proud to announce that Brooke Tatnell has been named the new driver of the No. 7 410 Sprint Car for the 2023 racing season.

After Justin Henderson departed the ride after a successful four year partnership, Sandvig found himself in the unusual spot of looking for a driver this offseason. With a team that’s been as competitive in the Midwest as any team over the last four seasons, Sandvig had no shortage of interest and phone calls over the winter.

However, one name stuck out and that was the Sans Souci, NSW, Australian native of Tatnell. With more than 250 career combined 410 and 360 Sprint Car victories over a lengthy career and a familiarity with the Midwestern tracks Sandvig’s car regularly competes at, it was an easy choice.

Throw in the fact that Tatnell has competed full-time on the World of Outlaws tour, with a career-best sixth-place finish in the standings in 2006 and 15 victories with the series, and that he’s captured a win during the prestigious Knoxville Nationals in 2006 during their World Challenge, it was clear Tatnell would provide Sandvig with the type of driver he was looking for to be able to challenge for wins on the grandest of stages.

“Brooke has been very successful over the years and his experience gives us the best shot to compete,” said Mike Sandvig, car owner. “He’s a guy who is good on equipment and will give you a chance no matter who we’re competing against and that’s really exciting to know.”

Ironically enough it was Tatnell who topped Henderson and Sandvig by a mere three points last season to deny them a second consecutive Huset’s Speedway track championship on the final night of the season.

It was a big night for Tatnell and his car owners and proved that the veteran driver could still get it done behind the wheel when the stakes were high. It also proved to be a moment that stuck in his mind when Sandvig was considering drivers for this season.

“Brooke may be a veteran but make no mistake about it he is eager to win and is as hungry as ever,” said Sandvig. “Just in watching how he competes and in talking to him, I feel like when it comes down to it, he gives us the best shot to win with what we are trying to accomplish this season.”

The current plan is to continue to focus mainly on the Midwestern scene with local events, when possible, but Sandvig isn’t just looking to capture trophies locally with Tatnell. The team also plans to compete semi-regularly with the World of Outlaws in regional shows along with the possibility of several High Limit Series events.

Tatnell will continue his normal driving duties behind the wheel of the DeWall No. 16 team running a similar schedule as last season as well.

Knowing he has a driver capable of not only making shows and competing, but one with experience at tracks all over the country that will allow for them to challenge for wins in large-paying shows, has Sandvig most excited about the partnership in 2023.

“I’m really excited for 2023 to start and I can’t wait to get going with Brooke behind the wheel,” said Sandvig. “We’ve had a lot of great sponsors over the years who have supported us and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to showcase them at the track this season!”

A full schedule, list of sponsors and more information will be released closer to the season. For up-to-date information and news, stay tuned on Facebook at Facebook.com/SandvigMotorsports7 and Addicted2DirtPR.com.

Zach Newlin Eyeing Return to 410 Sprint Car Ranks in 2023

/0 Comments/in , /by

Zach Daddy Will Also Continue to Pilot the Mansberger Motorsports No.21m 358 Sprint Car

Millerstown, PA – December 22, 2022

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

Feature Photo Credit:  Ashlee Book

Following seven highly successful seasons in the 305 sprint car ranks, Zach Newlin moved into the 358 sprint car ranks in 2020.  He found victory lane at Williams Grove Speedway in that rookie season in his family owned Newlin Racing 11z.

 

The resume Newlin was building turned heads and, over the course of the past two and a half seasons, brought a few opportunities to fill the seat of a few 410 sprint cars.  While the Millerstown, PA resident greatly appreciated those opportunities, none of them blossomed into a long term situation.

 

Newlin had a few notable highlights in his limited 410 sprint car races, including qualifying for his first World of Outlaws A-main in October of 2021, and back-t0-back hard charger awards at Port Royal Speedway’s Labor Day Classic in 2020 and 2021.

 

Meanwhile, Newlin also kept one foot in the door of the 358 division, piloting the Mansberger Motorsports 21m in Central Pennsylvania.  He will continue wheeling that car in 2023, primarily at Williams Grove Speedway, however the team will likely look to expand their schedule a little over recent years.

 

Before the 2022 season had even wrapped up, Newlin had started shaping plans to resurrect his own familiar 11z, but this time with 410 cubic inch power plant under the hood.  Fans will definitely remember the unique ‘Zach Daddy’ green that Newlin made so recognizable in the 305 sprint car division, then in the 358 division as well.  While the final design is not in place yet, the green will make it’s return in 2023.

 

Newlin got started by purchasing a used engine that was in need of a rebuild.  It wasn’t ideal, but it was within his budget.  Small teams like Newlin’s need to keep costs down and spread their expenses out to keep going.

 

Invitations to get behind the wheel of someone’s 410 sprint car are not plentiful to say the least, plus having control of one’s own destiny to allow time to hone skills and grow knowledge is a positive of putting together your own deal.

 

“Ever since we decided we were going down this path, we have been chipping away at trying to get the things we need.  We didn’t have much of anything remaining from the 2020 car that we could use.  We knew it wouldn’t be easy with limited funds and it might even take us a year, but we felt it was our best option…maybe our only option…if we wanted to continue racing 410’s.  I definitely didn’t want to give up on that goal.“, Newlin shared.

 

Newlin’s goal for the upcoming season is realistic.  He wants to have enough resources to get to the track at least a dozen times, so the team can make laps and learn.  The engine rebuild is progressing slowly but should be ready in time to meet Newlin’s April goal.  When his season does start, he will have one car, one engine and he won’t have a lot of spare parts, so the team will race smart to make sure they can keep racing and improving.

 

“We’re making some progress, but we still have a long way to go.  I’m hoping to have the bare minimum of what I need to get to the track by the end of April.  Bringing a partner into our team would help move things along a little faster and help us be more prepared.”, Newlin said.

 

While his new 410 team may not find victory lane right away, Newlin has a lot to offer potential marketing partners.  He has amassed a sizeable and very supportive following over his years behind the wheel, and his future in the sport holds a lot of promising potential.

Kyle Reinhardt Rebuilding in 2023, Splits With McCall

/0 Comments/in , /by

Abbottstown, PA – December 21, 2022

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

Feature Photo Credit:  Brent Smith Photography

When the 2023 season opens for Kyle Reinhardt, some things will seem familiar, but the new year will bring changes.

 

The biggest change:  Jeff McCall and Reinhardt split a few weeks ago. The team spent the past two seasons traveling with the All Star Circuit of Champions (ASCoC) and supplemented their schedule with other races when time allowed, amassing over seventy events entered each season.

 

The combination had moderate success, including Reinhardt’s first ASCoC victory and a pair of eighth place finishes in the ASCoC Championship point standings. More importantly, they were accumulating resources and building the depth of their program. McCall’s departure is on good terms but nonetheless it sets Reinhardt’s program back a few steps.

 

“We were slowly building something solid the last couple seasons and we had things going the right direction the last couple months of this past season, but now we will need to restart the building process in certain ways,” Reinhardt commented.

 

“Jeff’s departure means we will start 2023 without some of the parts, engines, and key components that I have been able to rely on the last two years.”  He will not have any full time employees either.

 

On the familiar side of things, Capitol Renegade, who has been with Reinhardt since 2017, will remain a key partner.

 

“On a positive note, we will start the year on the same car and shock package we were running at the end of 2022.  We were running well on that combination, so we will have that to build on.“, Reinhardt shared.

 

The schedule will look a little different for Reinhardt in 2023. It will primarily consist of races in Pennsylvania, along with some travel for World of Outlaw, All Star and High Limit series events when possible. Exactly which events, and the total number of events, the team enters will be dependent on securing additional funding.

 

Reinhardt is open to a partnership that will enable him to rebuild the depth of his team, as well as enable him to run all the events on his tentative schedule.

 

“I am open to conversations about help, funding, or opportunities. I was hoping to kick off the season in Georgia with the All Stars, but given the current crew help situation and resources available, we will probably delay the start of our season to early March.,” Reinhardt said.

Kyle Reinhardt Captures Career Best World Finals Finish on Opening Night; Misses Field on Final Night

/0 Comments/in , /by

Concord, NC – November 11, 2022

by Addicted2Dirt PR & Media Management

Feature Photo Credit:  Apex Media

Kyle Reinhardt unloaded his Capitol Renegade / Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers / Champion Hi-Tech Lubricants / J&J Auto Racing No.91 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC last week with his team’s performance trending in the right direction.  

 

That trend, combined with two A-main appearances in the 2021 edition of the World Finals, had the Capitol Renegade team feeling optimistic about their chances to finish out the 2022 season on a positive note.

  

November 2:  World Finals / The Dirt Track at Charlotte / Concord, NC  [52 cars, Qualifying 9th Flight A, Heat 6th (5), B-main 2nd (3), A-main 13th (22)]

 

Opening night brought 52 teams to compete in the 4-day World of Outlaws sanctioned event.  This year’s scheduled called for the sprint car teams to compete on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.  

 

Teams would compete in full shows on Wednesday and Friday, then heat races for Saturday’s finale would be lined up by points accumulated during the previous two races.

 

Wednesday and Friday’s format info

 
Reinhardt’s night got off to a good start when he registered the 9th quickest lap of the 26 cars to go under the clock in Flight A qualifying.  The effort provided him with the inside row three starting spot in heat number one.
 
With the top five finishers from the 8-lap race transferring directly to the Wednesday night A-main, Reinhardt was in position to capitalize.  That said, the spot would still need to be earned, especially given the stout field on hand.
 
Tyler Courtney was able to win the 3rd row battle for the 5th spot on the opening lap and Reinhardt wasn’t able to wrestle it away.  He settled for a 6th place finish, which relegated him to the B-main for his final shot to make the night’s finale.
 
From his 3rd starting spot in the B-main, Reinhardt needed to record a top four finish to transfer to the main event.  From the drop of the green on the 12-lap race, he made it clear he was going to control his own destiny.
 
Reinhardt grabbed the lead by using the high side on the opening lap and went on to build a comfortable lead for most of the race.  As the race reached the closing laps, Brent Marks powered his way into the runner up position and began to put pressure on the leader.
 
Strategy was on display as Reinhardt took the low line away from Marks as the pair sailed into turn three with just over two laps remaining.  
 
Reinhardt held the lead for another lap, then Marks edged in front briefly before the Neptune City, NJ native drove back under him going into turn three on the final lap.  Marks turned under Reinhardt off turn four and beat the Capitol Renegade No.91 to the line by 0.375 seconds.  It was an exciting few laps, but in the end all that mattered was Reinhardt was in the show.
 
From his 22nd starting spot in the 30-lap A-main, Reinhardt appeared to struggle in the early going.  He dropped as far as 26th before finding a rhythm and some room to race.  The forward progress started on lap seven.  
 
Reinhardt reached the 19th spot on lap thirteen, but it took another ten laps before the car and the track would really come to him.  On lap twenty three he turned his fastest lap of the race.  Over the final five laps, he rolled the bottom with great success, climbing from 18th all the way to 13th at the checkered flag.
 
The finish was a career best for Reinhardt at the World Finals, improving on his 2021 result by a few spots.
 
November 4:  World Finals / The Dirt Track at Charlotte / Concord, NC  [52 cars, Qualifying 10th Flight B, Heat 10th (5), C-main 3rd (4)]

 

Friday’s second chance to accumulate points started off very similar to Wednesday for Reinhardt, who registered the 10th quickest lap of the 26 drivers to hit the track in Flight B.  Once again, he would take the green for his heat race from the 5th starting spot, needing only to remain in the top five to transfer to the main event.

 

The opening lap of heat number four is where Reinhardt’s week took a turn the wrong direction.  A bunched up start led to a four wide situation in turn one, forcing his No.91 above the cushion.  He managed to avoid contact but rolled to a stop, bringing out the caution.

 

Reinhardt was able to restart and join the rear of the field, but it would be tough to recover the track position in a short eight laps.  He finished a distant 10th, dropping him into the C-main and leaving him with slim odds of making his way to the A-main.

 

Reinhardt would need to finish first or second in the 10-lap C-main to advance to the B-main.  From his starting spot outside row two, he claimed the 3rd position on the opening lap.  He was unable to close the gap enough on runner up Eric Riggins to mount a serious challenge.

 

Reinhardt’s night ended much earlier than expected with the 3rd place C-main finish.  The real price of the disappointing night was a low point total to add to his solid first night, which would make Saturday night’s main event slightly more difficult to reach.

 

November 5:  World Finals / The Dirt Track at Charlotte / Concord, NC  [52 cars, Heat 7th (7), B-main 8th (9)]

 

Saturday’s program consisted of four 11-car heat races.  The top ten starters were set heads-up by points from the first two night, and they were joined by a top four finisher from the non-qualifier’s race that opened the night.  The top five finishers from each heat race would move on to the A-main, and the remaining teams would compete in a B-main for the final four starting spots.

 

The ripple effect of Friday’s heat race troubles was clear.  Reinhardt’s two day point total placed him 7th in heat number four.  He took 6th on lap two with a slide job on Kraig Kinser and set his sights on the final transfer spot.  At the halfway point, Kinser forced his way back around the No.91 off turn four.  Reinhardt couldn’t mount another challenge and settled for a 7th place finish.

 

The B-main would be an uphill climb for Reinhardt, needing to reach the top four in twelve short laps from his 9th starting spot to make the show.  He gave it everything he had, climbing has high as 7th by the time the caution flag appeared with three laps complete.

 

The ensuing restart didn’t go Reinhardt’s way.  He lost the track position he had gained, slipping back to 9th again.  In the closing laps he raced his way back into 8th but that’s where the week, and season, came to an end.

 

“We had decent speed this week.  We weren’t great but things just didn’t go our way Friday and we got behind.  I want to give a shout out to Cheerwine, Carolina Beverage Corp and Arthur Carver IV for coming on board this week to help us out at the World Finals.  I also want to say thank you to Capitol Renegade, Champion Hi-Tech Lubricant’s, Henry’s Wrecker Service and all our other partners who have supported us all season.“, Reinhardt commented.

 

“Overall our season wasn’t up to our expectations, but with the speed we found the past month we feel better going into the offseason.  We feel like we have something to build on for 2023.”

Kyle Reinhardt has definitely found speed again.

 

Coming into a late October two-race weekend in his home state of New Jersey, his month already included three top five finishes at three different tracks, one of those on the podium.

 

‘Sprinttoberfest’ at Bridgeport Motorsports Park in Swedesboro, NJ provided Reinhardt with two more shots in October to continue building momentum before heading south to compete at the World Finals in Charlotte, NC in early November. 

 

He capitalized on both opportunities.

  

October 29:  Sprintoberfest / Bridgeport Motorsports Park / Swedesboro, NJ  [25 cars, Qualifying 1st Group 1, Heat 4th (3), Dash 5th (5) A-main 5th (5)]

 

Reinhardt has expressed his love of the new 4-tenths mile configuration at Bridgeport ever since it opened a few years ago.  He has been fast on the high-banked surface, including a runner-up finish in the ‘Invasion of the Posse’ event back in April of this year in his Capitol Renegade / Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers / Champion Hi-Tech Lubricants / J&J Auto Racing No.91.

 

Bridgeport Motorsports Park Sprintoberfest Format Details

 

Reinhardt’s draw placed him in group one.  He promptly laid down a lap of 12.786, quickest in the group, which put him inside row two to start heat number one and guaranteed him a spot in the dash redraw.

 

The Neptune City, NJ native finished 4th in his 8-lap heat race, drew the #5 starting spot for the dash, and finished in the same position in the 5-lap event.

 

Reinhardt started 5th in the 25-lap A-main and began to make moves early on.  He claimed the 4th spot at the start and held onto it through the first six laps before wrestling the 3rd spot away from Sye Lynch on lap seven.  Lynch battled back a lap later and took the podium spot back from Reinhardt.

 

Meanwhile, Gio Scelzi was closing in to become part of the battle.  He worked his way past Reinhardt to take 4th on lap ten, dropping the Capitol Renegade No.91 to 5th, where he would finish the event 

 

October 30:  Sprintoberfest / Bridgeport Motorsports Park / Swedesboro, NJ  [26 cars, Qualifying 1st Group 3, Heat 4th (3), Dash 6th (5), A-main 2nd (6)]

 

Sunday’s field grew by one to 26 cars, but the format remained the same as Saturday.

 

Sunday’s draw put Reinhardt in group three, but the result was no different.  Once again, he was quickest in his group, this time with a lap of 12.687.  The 8-lap heat race and redraw were like Deja vu as well, as Reinhardt started 3rd and finished 4th in the heat, then drew the 5th starting spot for the dash.

 

Reinhardt finished 6th in the dash, putting him outside row three to start the 40-lap finale.  Once again he got right to work, moving forward into the 5th spot on the opening lap.  He raced 5th for the majority of the first half of the race, slipping to 6th only briefly in the early going.

 

On lap twenty three, Reinhardt worked his way into the 4th spot, then found himself in the runner up spot with Gio Scelzi in front and Danny Dietrich on his heels with fifteen laps remaining.  

 

With Devin Borden and Lance Dewease also in the top five, there was no room for error during the final dozen circuits.  Reinhardt was up to the challenge and came home with the runner up finish, 1.288 seconds behind Scelzi. Dewease, Borden and Dietrich rounded out the top five.

 

“It was great to run up front both nights in front of a lot of family and friends.  I’m happy about the consistent speed we have found lately.  We’re running well, but we still have a little work to do to get the car into victory lane again.  Hopefully we can keep that going in Charlotte next week to finish out our season.“, Reinhardt commented.

 

Up Next

 

Reinhardt and the Capitol Renegade team will wrap up their 2022 season with a trip to the World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  The team will compete in the World of Outlaws sanctioned event on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, November 2nd, 4th and 5th.

 

In 2021, Reinhardt made the A-main on both Friday and Saturday night at Charlotte, recording finishes of 14th and 20th.  This week he will look to improve on last year’s successful trip.

 

The events will be broadcast on DirtVision.com for those who subscribe to the streaming service.
