CONCORD, N.C. — As Hayden Reinbold climbed atop the cage of his midget, checkered flag in hand, the annoying ‘0’ in his win column finally turned to ‘1’. “I was excited, but I felt like it was well-deserved — we worked really hard this season,” Reinbold said. “There were a couple times when I was like, ‘Come on Hayden, keep rolling, keep up your tempo, keep doing your thing,’” Ridge said. “When he started — at the time, I had a crew chief that worked on sprint cars for me, and Hayden and I just messed around with midgets for a very small part of time, about a year,” Reinbold said. “What Hayden wants sometimes isn’t the same thing that I see the car needs,” Ridge said. “At the beginning of the year, it was just keep getting laps, keep improving, keep getting better,” Reinbold said.
