Karter Reents Racing

10/21/2026

Well our 2026 season has officially come to an end. We had a pretty good run going in Fergus this last weekend but unfortunately I had a chain on my rear end break after bouncing through a massive rut, which was really unfortunate because I had moved up to 6th place at the time after starting 12th.

The season started off really well for us, we debuted a brand new car after our struggles in 2025 and I can confidently say it was worth every penny as well as every hour in the shop getting it ready. I was able to start off the season with 7 conservative top fives which just goes to show how great this new TRC was right out of the box. It was an up and down season at times but overall I would call it a success.

Our season was highlighted by 5 wins and a track championship at Viking Speedway. The 5 wins in a season is a career best for me and I am very proud of it considering the stiff competition that I have to go up against every night. The track championship was also really special this year obviously, I've been going to races at Viking Speedway since I was a little kid and it feels great to be able to say that I'm the track champion. Also the fact I was able to pull it off with my mother watching from the hospital the night before she passed away just makes me realize it was truly meant to be this year.

I also want to give a huge thanks to everyone that made 2026 a successful race season: Mom, Dad, Joe, Becky, Kameron, Kyle, Sam, Tucker, Nathan, Galen, Aaron, Hailie, and anyone else that lent a hand once or that I forgot to mention.

Also big thanks to all of my great sponsors, I really appreciate the support for 2026 and hope that all of you can rejoin for 2027 when we attempt to run double duty for the first time!

Most of you were able to guess it... We bought ourselves a wissota modified from Wildmans. I hit the track for a few practice laps already and it's a little different than a super to say the least. Also the super is not going anywhere, the plan for next season is to run our normal schedule with the super stock and then a limited schedule with the modified. Can't wait for next season!

Here's a little sneak peek for tomorrow's announcement! Any guesses on what it is?

Ogilvie Fall Classic Race Report

Heat - 5th
B-Main - 1st
A-Main - 16th

We decided to make the trip over to Ogilvie for the 23rd annual MTH Fall Classic. I'm not sure who it was but I would like to give a special thanks to the person that paid for my draw fee, they were listed as anonymous on the list of draw fee sponsors. I definitely struggled in the heat race on Friday night, it wasn't horrible but I had a hard time finding a good lane and keeping the car moving forward. Unfortunately I missed the show by one spot in passing points which made us have to run the b-main, I did start on the pole though and was able to take the lead right away and drive away with the win to qualify for the main event. The main event was pretty uneventful though on my end, I ran the bottom lane for too long and then started losing more and more grip towards the end of the race. We also were at a tire deficit after wrecking three tires during the b-main, I had some okay tires to switch out but it probably did not help that we didn't have exactly what I wanted.

We will be in Fergus Falls this weekend for the Scott Engfer memorial, hoping to end on a high note!

Thanks again to my sponsors for 2026

10/2 and 10/3 Madtown Showdown at Madison Speedway Race Report

Friday
Heat - 2nd
Feature - 3rd

Saturday
Heat - 3rd
Feature - DNS

Overall I had a pretty good weekend. I was able to move forward in each of the three races I started. The car was really good on Friday aside from a few moments getting aero tight behind some cars. I would've loved to see a caution on Friday night after I got to third but was pretty happy with the podium finish. On Saturday we elected as a team that it wasn't worth going out for the feature. In hindsight we probably would've been fine running the feature but between all of the wrecks in prior races, the rough racetrack, and how late it was we decided to call it a night. I don't regret the decision, just wish we didn't get dumped on with a bunch of rain so we could've had a more fun night.

Stay tuned for a big announcement coming next week about some of our racing plans for 2027!

Thanks again to all of my sponsors for the 2026 season.

9/13 at Madison Speedway and Wissota 100 Race Report

Madison
Heat - 2nd
Feature - 3rd

Wissota 100
Thursday
Heat - 8th to 5th
Qualifying Feature - 16th to 6th

Saturday
Main Event - 22rd (DNF)

It had been awhile since we raced at Madison Speedway so we decided to make the trip for their annual fair races. I had some minor issues in the heat race, the carburetor got loaded up so it started backfiring early on. It did eventually snap out of it though and I was able to finish 2nd and redraw the pole for the feature. I was honestly a little disappointed with the feature results, I thought I had a good chance to win it but struggled quite a bit early on with finding a line. Almost held for 2nd but got passed towards the end when I slipped off the bottom.

Then moving onto the 100. We rolled in later in the week than usual, we actually considered waiting until Friday but called an audible when we saw the forecast (I also hate sitting at home when there is racing nearby). I had a decent heat race, I felt like I could have gotten another spot or two but kind of got held up in traffic. Then in the feature I was able to work my way all the way up to 6th running around the top of the track. I was really proud of that run and was very pleased to be able to transfer into the main event without running the Friday portion of the show. Finally in the main event, I was up to 13th at one point but then had a mechanical failure in the rear end. It ended up adding way much rear steer, it was quite a handful and was rubbing on the car so I was forced to pull in and call it a night.

Thanks again to all of my 2026 sponsors

Well this is most certainly the most difficult race report I've ever had to make but want to make sure everyone in our amazing racing community knows. Sadly my mother lost her battle with cancer yesterday, she was surrounded by her family and friends as she peacefully left us to go be in heaven. To say I will miss her is quite the understatement, she has always been my biggest fan and number one supporter ever since we got started all the way back in go karts. I was very fortunate to be able to talk with her and be beside her on Friday at the hospital but she was adamant that we go to Viking Speedway on Saturday to battle for the track championship. So we did just that and I gave it all I had to get it done for her and I'm so glad that I was able to do it. I truly believe that she battled so hard to keep going just so she could see me claim my first track title at Viking Speedway, we did have some other family members at the hospital and said it was a pure joy to see the smile on her face when I crossed the checkered flag to claim the title.

Rest in peace to the best mother I could have ever asked for and I hope to keep making you proud behind the wheel of a racecar for many years to come. Also enjoy these photos of her last racetrack sunset photo she was able to take and also the last time she watched a race in person which happened to be one of our wins this season. I will love her forever and so will so many of her family and close friends. ♥️🪽
