Story By: A2DPR / KYLE REINHARDT RACING – YORK HAVEN, PA – Kyle Reinhardt continues to show consistency no matter where he goes around central Pennsylvania. He delivered two more solid runs well inside the top ten over the weekend.
Reinhardt has not finished outside of the top ten since the March 18th World of Outlaws show at Lincoln Speedway. If you only consider PA shows, he hasn’t been outside the top ten since March 5th.
The rebuilding process is on solid ground at this point and the team appears to be one step away from knocking off some podium finishes or grabbing a victory.
Reinhardt got right down to business at the start of the weekend. Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway, from his starting spot outside the second row in his heat race, he moved into 3rd on the opening lap and charged into the runner up spot by lap two. He held that to the checkered flag to put the Capitol Renegade, Capitol Custom Coaches & Trailers, Henry’s Wrecker No.91 into the redraw that would set the first five rows of the A-main lineup.
The results of Reinhardt’s redraw could have been better but his 7th starting spot wasn’t the worst possible result either. Once again, he was able to make gains, pass cars and move forward.
Reinhardt was able to crack the top five late in the race and ultimately was credited with a 4th place finish.
“I’m pretty pleased with where we are at. We’ve had good speed here at Williams Grove. We’ve been solid in heat races and able to pass cars.“, Reinhardt said. “I missed my chance to get by Freddie (Rahmer) tonight but overall, I can’t complain.”
Sunday night at BAPS Motor Speedway started with a pill draw that put Reinhardt 7th on the starting grid in his heat race. He needed to make the top six to transfer but the real goal was the redraw, which required a top four finish.
Reinhardt was up to the task, getting a quick start and blasting his way into a redraw spot on the opening lap. He held on to 4th place throughout the 10-lap qualifying race to secure a shot at the redraw.
“I knew a quick start would be key in that heat race. Glad we could get it done. It put us in a better spot for the rest of the night.“, Reinhardt said.
Sunday night’s main event at BAPS Motor Speedway was a non-stop array of tight battles and slide jobs, combined with a few cautions and a couple red flag periods. In the midst of it all, Reinhardt fought his way from his 11th starting spot to a 6th place finish.
It was a +5 night that seemed to require Reinhardt to make three times that many passes to get there. It was a dogfight from start to finish.
“We are usually really good here, so I’m a little disappointed. We didn’t get any help from our pill draws tonight though, so I guess all considered we had a pretty good night. We passed cars and ended up with a decent night.“, Reinhardt commented. “I was too free in the feature. I was looking for a little more, a couple more spots.“
“It was a good weekend. We have a good baseline. We will keep working on it so we can take the next step and start knocking off some podiums and wins.“
Kyle and his team are looking forward to their first three-race weekend of the 2023 this weekend.
The Capitol Renegade gang will kick off their weekend at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, April 21st at the $8,000-to-win Tommy Hinnershitz Classic.
Saturday night Reinhardt will return to Port Royal Speedway for The Spring Thaw, which will award the winner with $10,000.
The weekend will wrap up Sunday night at Selinsgrove Speedway, one of Reinhardt’s favorite tracks, where $4,000 is on the line for the victor. The Neptune City, NJ native has had a lot of success at the big Pennsylvania half mile in recent years, including numerous 360 sprint car wins, a 410 sprint car victory and track championships in both divisions.
