The 20-year-old Gilbert, Arizona native will drive his family-owned Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports entries in both divisions. He'll compete as a Rookie of the Year contender in the 50-race sprint car series while continuing his fifth year in the 29-race midget campaign.
Reinbold has unique experience in USAC racing, having started his racing career directly in USAC National Midgets at age 16 – without any prior racing experience in lower divisions. He has accumulated 84 career midget feature starts and made seven USAC national sprint car starts in 2024.
As part of a two-car team effort, Reinbold will race alongside veteran driver Mitchel Moles, who has been with Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports since 2022. The team will campaign AME Electrical – Mesilla Valley Transportation sponsored vehicles.
Reinbold's career highlights include:
- 2023 Xtreme Outlaw/POWRi victory at Oklahoma City's I-44 Riverside Speedway
- Fifth place finish during the 2024 USAC Indiana Midget Week opener at Lawrenceburg Speedway
- Leading contender for 2025 USAC National Sprint Car Rookie of the Year
Speaking about the differences between the two racing disciplines, Reinbold explains: "In a midget, you're turning left more, and it's a tighter racecar. In the sprint car, you're always turning right and it's freer. The sprint car has more horsepower and speed, requiring more careful throttle control."
