Preston Lattomus said from the beginning that his rookie campaign in a winged 410 sprint car would be all about seat time. The more laps, the better.

He’s right. The tough Central Pennsylvania sprint car scene can be unforgiving, and the only way to assimilate is to keep playing the game until you understand all the nuances and get really good at it.

So far in April, Lattomus has competed at three different tracks in a total of five events.

“I’m not where I want to be, but we have been experiencing something new almost every week. It’s either a new track for me in a 410, or even if I have been there before, it might have been a day race, and the next time it’s a night race.”, Lattomus explained.

“I’m just trying to make features and get the maximum number of laps I can each night out because that’s the fastest way to learn.”

QUICK RESULTS:

Date/Location: April 4, 2025 – Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
Stats: Heat 8th (8), A-main 16th (19)

Date/Location: April 5, 2025 – Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
Stats: Heat 10th (4), A-main 20th (23)

Date/Location: April 13, 2025 – BAPS Motor Speedway, York Haven, PA
Stats: Group Qualifying 5th, Heat 6th (5), B-main 6th (3)

Date/Location: April 18, 2025 – Williams Grove Speedway, Mechanicsburg, PA
Stats: Group Qualifying 14th, Heat 8th (7), B-main 7th (11)

Date/Location: April 19, 2025 – Lincoln Speedway, Abbottstown, PA
Stats: Qualifying 24th, Heat 8th (8), A-main 18th (23)

One of the key differences that Lattomus is working to adapt to is qualifying under the clock, often referred to as time trials. That was something that was pretty rare in the 358 sprint car division.

“I need to qualify better and put myself in a position to race with better cars. Racing with the experienced, veteran drivers makes you better.”, Lattomus said.

“In 358’s, I came to the track knowing I could win any given night. I had the confidence because I had raced a lot, and I knew how to achieve that. Already this season, my thinking has changed to being a student of the game.”

Lattomus has good support in his pit to help him on his journey. Scott McClaren, who made a lot of the decisions and adjustments for the 358 team, is still there. Kyle Reinhardt, who recently stepped out of the seat after ten successful years in a 410 sprint car, is also there. Reinhardt collaborates with McClaren and Lattomus, mentoring the young driver and handling a lot of the adjustments.

“Kyle and Scott have been great. I told Kyle I feel like I need to do a better job of giving feedback on what I feel and what I need. There’s a lot to process and get used to, so I can be good at that. I’ll get there.”, Lattomus shared.

It’s not all about the experience in the cockpit. The team has battled a few mechanical and motor issues in the early going this season. Every team faces that. Lattomus knows he has the equipment and the support around him to be competitive, and he knows he will get there.

“I try to focus on the big picture, the learning, the improvements. If I get too wrapped up in results, it can take a toll on my confidence. I just take a day to process our night, put things in perspective, and learn from the opportunities.”, Lattomus explained.

“While I expect to be good and I challenge myself to be the best I can be, I take a moment to realize where I am in the scheme of laps and races. I’m competing against guys who have a lot of 410 races under their belt.”

Lattomus is looking forward to the team’s upcoming three-race weekend and is aiming to capitalize on it to log a lot of laps. Over the upcoming April 25-27 weekend, the team will compete at Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, and BAPS Motor Speedway on Sunday.

“The challenge of putting together the best laps I can in qualifying or in a race is exciting to me. I’m excited about the opportunity I have to race this Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, EZGO Golf Cars, Betts Garage No.91 sprint car. I’m excited because I know what we can and will accomplish eventually.”
