After a rollercoaster week both on and off the track, Ashley Cappetta is taking the lessons learned and looking forward to what’s ahead for the 2025 season. Cappetta closed out her 2024 racing season at Lincoln Speedway and participated in a Test and Tune session at BAPS Motor Speedway, last week.
“I felt really good in the feature,” Cappetta shared after Saturday night at Lincoln. “I just wish I had felt that good in the heat race.” Unfortunately, Cappetta misjudged the track in her heat race, struggling with too much stagger, which left her feeling “like a fish out of water.” Despite falling back to sixth in her heat, she found confidence later in the night.
During the B-main, Cappetta’s car felt significantly better, and she was able to move forward through the field. After making the feature through the B-main, Cappetta lined up 22nd for the feature, “It was a huge confidence booster to start in the back and pass cars. I probably had a top 10 car,” she reflected, grateful for the adjustments that helped improve her performance and finish 12th. After the races, Cappetta was especially appreciative of the fans who stopped by and supported her by purchasing merchandise.
Cappetta’s week also included a test session at BAPS Motor Speedway on Wednesday, where her team encountered engine trouble. “We hurt a motor during the first session at BAPS,” she explained. “The first six laps felt really good, but I’m thankful the issue showed up there and not at Lincoln—it could have ended our season in a bad way.”
ff the track, Cappetta is keeping busy with her participation in the Hanover Halloween Parade alongside Mike’s Towing and Recovery. She will also be at Lincoln Speedway’s Fall Fest on Saturday, October 26 greeting fans, signing autographs, and handing out candy and giveaways for kids from 2-6 PM. Merchandise will also be available for purchase.
As the season winds down, Cappetta is already sitting down to plan for 2025 while finishing up auctioneering scoring. She is also looking forward to hosting the 13th annual “Night at the Races” fundraiser on February 8 at the Irishtown Fire Company.
Reflecting on her 2024 season, Cappetta shared, “I learned a lot this year. I’m grateful for the off-season to regroup, focus on my business, school, and family, and come back stronger next year.”
