Preston Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91 team have worked hard all season together to get the 410 sprint car rookie as much experience as possible. They have raced a lot, taken their lumps, had their moments of success, and learned along the way.

It is beginning to pay off.

Recent results clearly demonstrate progress by the Lewes, Delaware driver and his team, led by Kyle Reinhardt and Scott McClaren, who both have many years of experience to share with the young Lattomus.

After opening August at Knoxville Raceway’s 360 Nationals in Iowa, Lattomus returned to Central Pennsylvania 410 sprint car competition at Lincoln Speedway, where he has more laps under his belt than anywhere this season.

Lattomus qualified 4th quickest overall and transferred through his heat to lock into the main event, in which he brought home a respectable 13th-place finish.

The following week at Williams Grove Speedway, Lattomus scored his career-first top-ten at the legendary oval, steadily working his way forward from his 14th starting spot over the course of the 25-lap event to earn the achievement.

“I think improving our finishing results at Williams Grove really shows the progress we have been making, especially given how tough that place is and that we have fewer laps there this year than we do at Lincoln (Speedway). The results are now showing how we are making speed all night long. We are putting the whole night together,” Lattomus said.

One week later, Lattomus returned to ‘The Grove’, qualified 4th overall, locked into the feature, and logged a 14th-place finish. No, it didn’t make headlines, but the consistent run was another indicator of the solid foundation the team has managed to build.

The second night of the team’s two-race weekend took Lattomus back to Lincoln Speedway, where he qualified 4th in his group to earn the pole for his heat race. He did not waste the opportunity, leading every lap and holding off Kyle Moody to win by 0.734 seconds.

The heat race victory, the first of his young 410 sprint car career, put Lattomus on the outside of row two to start the 35-lap A-main. He raced inside the top ten throughout the event, bringing home an 8th-place finish.

It was Lattomus’s third top ten finish at the Abbottstown, Pennsylvania oval and fourth overall of the season.

“I’d say the biggest contribution to our better runs is my qualifying efforts. It’s been my biggest struggle this far into the season, and now it is turning around and we are seeing the better results. Aside from the qualifying, I feel that i’ve been running my best laps in general at every track,” Lattomus shared.

“Kyle (Reinhardt) has been great to work with. He has helped me learn every time I hit the track. The communication between us is effective because he is able to use his experience driving and working on these cars to translate what I explain about what I feel in the car. He knows the right adjustments to make when we need them, when to leave the car alone and let the track come to us, and when to help me adjust my approach to get the most out of the car.”

The recent four-race stretch was the best of Lattomus’s rookie season, producing the most consistent results. With numerous big races on the horizon as the 2025 season heads into the homestretch, it’s a good time for his confidence to be on the upswing.
