Hayden Reinbold is set to compete full-time in both the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship for the 2025 season. The 20-year-old Gilbert, Arizona native will drive for his family-owned Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports team in both divisions.

As a Rookie of the Year contender, Reinbold will tackle the 50-race sprint car schedule while continuing his fifth year in the 29-race midget series. His racing experience includes 84 career midget feature starts, while his sprint car experience consists of seven USAC national starts in 2024.

Unlike most competitors who started in quarter midgets or micros, Reinbold's racing career began at age 16 in a USAC National Midget event at Tulsa's Port City Raceway. He will race alongside veteran teammate Mitchel Moles, who has been with the team since 2022.

Reinbold's notable achievements include:

• 2023 Xtreme Outlaw/POWRi victory at Oklahoma City's I-44 Riverside Speedway
• Fifth place finish at the 2024 USAC Indiana Midget Week opener at Lawrenceburg Speedway

The young driver acknowledges the differences between the two racing disciplines: "In a midget, you're turning left more, and it's a tighter racecar. The sprint car has more horsepower and speed, requiring careful throttle control. You're always turning right, and it's freer."

Racing in both divisions will nearly triple Reinbold's yearly racing schedule, presenting a significant challenge as he competes against experienced veterans in both championships.
