With the racing season finally getting underway in Pennsylvania, Lane Snook would take aim at his own 23 car and the local racing scene. With only a few shows being completed over the past month, any opportunity to get on the track was valuable. While April still has a lot to come, let’s look back at the first three races of the 23 team’s season.

March ended up only seeing the 23-car race one time. That being the season opener at Port Royal Speedway, in the super late model ranks. Having a strong run in the heat race and picking up his first super heat win, opening day was going well. While running in the top five during the feature, the driver and team hit a snag.

“We had a stone get in between the oil pump belt and the pulley, where it chewed the teeth on the oil pump belt and made it come off.” This ended a promising run that Lane felt was going to result in a top-five run. Nevertheless, the team would end up posting a DNF, took some precautions, and had the super motor looked over before running it again.

The team’s next race would take place as the calendar flipped to April with a two-race weekend. Beginning at Bedford Speedway in the limited car, the team would pick up in that division, where they left off in 2025. Starting on the pole of the heat and winning put him in the redraw, where he would end up rolling off 3rd in the feature.

“I didn’t get our tires hot enough before the race, as they didn’t fire off, and I made a mistake in turn 1 of the first lap, which made us fall back to 7th.” After a restart, Snook was able to regroup and start his march to the front. Ending up with the lead near the halfway point, Lane held on to grab his first win of the season. A strong rebound from a disappointing showing a few weeks before.

After staying up into the early hours of the morning after Bedford, the team would wake up for a home game at Port Royal Speedway. Off the bat, the team battled some adversity. Folding the nose in during hot laps, the crew thrashed and was able to make repairs and get Lane out for the heat race, where he drove from 4th to the win. Redrawing the 2 pill, the team was poised for another shot at a win. Mother Nature put a pause on that, however, with rain falling during the 410 sprint car feature and canceling the race.

“We start 2nd in the makeup feature, if we’re able to make it.” All in all, another strong night that the team could be proud of.

Something else the young driver from Port Royal can be proud of is his growth with the fans and people in the industry. Lane was able to take part in a fan meet and greet on Saturday at The Speed Palace.

“The meet and greet was cool for sure, getting to see a lot of faces I haven’t seen all winter,” stated Lane. “I feel like we are gaining recognition,” stated Lane, and went on to mention, “with the season we had last year, that definitely helped to put my name out there.”

Snook was honored during opening ceremonies for part of that dominant season, as Port Royal presented him with his 2025 track champion accolades.
“I’m very grateful for all the people I’ve met over the past few years and everyone who has helped me throughout my career.” Lane also mentioned some of the new relationships he’s made over the offseason and how he hopes to continue those and help himself grow.

As the team continues to try to duplicate the efforts of 2025 in some capacity, their schedule ramps up, giving them a lot more opportunities to test their equipment. April will hopefully feature a lot more super late model racing. April 10th and 11th will feature trips to Selinsgrove and Port Royal, respectively, both in super late model competition.

The same setup will repeat on April 17th and 18th, with Selinsgrove and Port. Then the team takes aim at the Lucas Oil Late Models, as they travel to the mid-Atlantic region. The team will plan to compete at BAPS Motor Speedway on April 25th, for the series first visit to the speedway for a $25k to win show.

Make sure to stay tuned to the team website (LaneSnookRacing.com) and socials for any schedule changes and results. Even though the first few shows have been up and down in results, Snook and team look to smooth things out and get back into their groove throughout the rest of April.
